Table Leverage

This occurs when you order the most expensive items to eat and drink for yourself when dining with friends who will spilt the bill evenly. You benefit when the bill is split evenly among the diners by paying less than the cost of your dinner while others pay more than the cost of their dinner.
You order the caviar appetizer, the steak, lobster and fois gras and a dessert which costs $75 in total, when your 3 friends order cheaper items that total $40 each. When you split the the bill ($75+$40+$40+$40=$195/ 4 people = $48.75) you pay 48.75 for your meal that cost $75, and your other guests pay more for their food than it should have cost. Jerry used table leverage by eating like a king and making his vegan friends pay for it.

Leper Lepellier

Boy from John Knowles's A Separate Peace. A recluse and continually scorned by the other boys at Devon for avoiding the war (World War II) Leper is like the punching bag and sad sack. Eventually, he succumbs to insanity after having to endure the harshness of training for war, never actually making it out to battle.
Brinker Hadley was one of Leper Lepellier's main antagonists, rejecting him because he feels he is too much of a "naturalist."

Leper Colony

That group of kids everybody knew in high school that individually were often the targets of derision and/or physical violence, but who through some geek radar found one another to form an alliance, thereby lessening the probability that any one member is a victim.

The reference to the middle-age practice of isolating individuals with Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) and not allowing them to come into contact with any "normal" people is apropos because if a "normal" (read non-geekified) child were to associate with the leper colony, s/he is immediately labeled as suspect, and in extreme cases will be isolated him/her self, thus becoming a member of the colony.
Mark's sister: "Mark has been indoctrinated into the Leper Colony and is at the park LARPing."

Mark's mom: "NO GOD, NOOOOOOOO!"
