Trade Mate

A mate who’s also in the trade. Doesn’t necessarily have to be your ‘mate’, but you can be anything from a sparky, to a chippy or even a decorator if life has dealt you an unfortunate card.

Kev the plasterer is a trade mate. He’s also in the building game. Office folk are not trade mates.

cross-trade

The business of thieving, or anything else illegal or shady in nature such as the black or grey markets. Fencing, stealing, and smuggling.

I make my money the modern way, I cross-trade stolen merchandise and contraband on auction websites and invest my jink based on insider stock tips...

Trade Paperback

A book of collected comics. The difference between a trade paperback and a graphic novel is that the graphic novels come out as stand-alone books, whereas trade paperbacks come out as comics first and then are collected as trade paperbacks.

I love the New 52 Batman Court of Owls trade paperback that I got at the comic book store today!

Fluff Trade

Dudes exchanging presently worn underwear for fun. Somewhere in the region of male bonding, repressed homosexuality, bromance and the rest... . Save for the commercial purposes, this is probably just another urban myth.

Dude, Jamie traded fluff with Tom. What gives?

Who knows? Ain't the Fluff Trade one of those latest jock-frat inventions?

Trading Cribs

TV show showing at 9:00 PM on Tuesdays on BET. A spinoff of Trading Spaces where bro's in the hood swap cribs to do some remodeling. Budgets are limited to whatever can be stolen from neighboring cribs within the 48 hour period.

Damn, did you see Queen Latifah on Trading Cribs last night. She is one hot bitch, but she don't shit 'bout no deck-o-raitin.

Blind Trade

When two people trade each other a CD the other has never heard before. Kind of like a blind date, meaning you don't know what you're getting cause it could be anything at all (except a lot less awkward than a blind date).

Keith and I did a Blind Trade the other day. Keith gave me "Kid A" by Radiohead (which I had never heard before), and I gave Keith "De-Loused in the Comatorium" By The Mars Volta (which was completely new to him). It was a good Blind Trade!
