trash pick

like dumpster diving, but instead of looking for information about the person who's thrown away the shit, you're looking for the shit itself.

I trash picked a nice television when my neighbors moved out.

Picking the nits

1. A nit picker to the nth degree and a royal pain in the ass.

2. Someone who is looking to start trouble or cause a commotion.

3. A person who concentrated on inconsequential details.

Hey Neil, stop picking the nits and pass the mozzarella. “I’m not picking the nits, I’m just saying the mozzarella is a little tough!”

pick and nibble

The habit of using, unnecessarily, two hands to consume a foodstuff.

The ardent pick and nibble practioner pulls small pieces from a food that is held in one hand and and then consume them with the other.

Usage of the second hand has to be superfluous to the task to constitute a true pick and nibble

The visual effect is repulsive and resembles someone playing with his/her food.

Popular pick and nibble fare includes: Pastries, pizza, canapés & sandwiches.

Please note that holding a bag of food (nuts, chips etc) and eating from said bag does not constitute a pick and nibble

"Did you see Nigel Slater eating that cake? Why can't he just bite it instead of doing the pick and nibble?
