Keeping the Receipts

a somewhat paranoid diligence, whereby someone mentally stores the evidence of another’s behaviour, should they ever need it in future.

Often done in order to log consummate lying by individuals in positions of influence or power, such as political figures.

Peter Oborne is a consummate receipt-keeper, maintaining a record of politicians who are lying. He has been keeping the receipts of political elites in an effort to hold them to account.

reciepts

The proof, the evidence, the smoking gun. This is how you prove your point, just as if you were at the grocery store

Rubber Receipt

After railing a chick with a condom on, you go flaccid while still inside her. When you pull out, the condom stays up inside her. To cause less embarassment to both parties, kindly yank the condom out of her, just like grabbing the receipt.

"Sorry Jill. I just made a deposit....let me grab the receipt." --hence a rubber receipt
