Tourist

Stupid assholes from outta town that take pictures of anything and everything and annoy the crap out of all the locals and will stand in the middle of the road, block traffic and almost get hit by a car to take a fucking picture of a church!

btw, I live in alaska
Tourist: what sea level are we at?
Local: about two feet

Tourist: what's that big lake over there?
Local: that would be the ocean

Tourist: How do you say this word in alaskan?
Local: I have no idea
Tourist: Don't you speak alaskan or eskimo?
Local: no, all the eskimos are extinct (walks away)

Tourist: Me and my family have been here all day and we haven't seen any eskimos!!!
Local: thats because all the eskimos and natives are nocturnal, they all come out at night and do their tlingit dances by the fireside. (sarcasm)

Ego-Tourist

Where globetrotters head for increasingly obscure locales, not for the experience but for the bragging rights of having been somewhere exotic and difficult while looking down on any adventures that don't involve an amusing incident with a nasty local disease / local militia / extreme weather event. Ego-tourists have way too much attachment to words like 'authentic' and 'unspoilt'

Bob is boring me stiff with his stories from the Congo. He's such an ego-tourist.

Tourist

A person who vacations in people's lives, takes pictures, puts them in his scrapbook, and moves on. All he's interested in are stories. Basically, their selfish.

Any friend who only seems to appear when they deem in necessary as to keep their social status in high regard but otherwise nowhere to be found. If this describes your friend he is a tourist.

Tourist bowling

When a New Yorker encounters a large group of motionless tourists congregating in the middle of a sidewalk where locals conducting their daily comings and goings, one may lower their shoulder, maintain current speed and plow through the mass in an attempt to knock as many out of the way. Children are not exempt as it is their parent's fault. The elderly get a pass.

While walking at a fairly fast clip, I played some Christmas time tourist bowling while walking to the subway tonight.
I got a 1, 10 split on a group of Germans holding hands four across standing on West 50th Street.
Did you see that fat, dad jeans wearing rube jump out of the way when he realized he was about to be knocked over?

Costco tourist

A person who goes to Costco for the purpose of only eating the samples and getting in other people's way with abolutely no intention of buying anything in the store. Person may or may not be pushing an empty cart to further disrupt the flow of traffic through the store.

On Martha's 80th birthday, she decided she would do what she does every other day and be a Costco tourist, as she enjoys nothing more than making her daily pilgrimage to Costco. Today she decided she would only make 30 trips around the store, as she scarfs down each free sample offering on each pass while pushing her empty cart to keep others away and obstruct the flow of traffic down the main aisles.

tourist

foreign visitors who come to see popular sites and attractions... but are often side-tracked by even simpler things... (a telephone pole, a school bus, a bird, a sandwich) signs of their attraction towards native features: accessive photographing, pointing of fingers

Tourist guide: Here we have an active volcano... it's called Killa wayyah...
Tourist: Umm excuse me!
Tourist guide: Yes ma'am?
Tourist: What's that thing you're holding in your hand?
Tourist guide: this? this is a sandwich, it would be my lunch
Group of Tourists: OoOoooh! Ahhhh.... (snapshots)
Tourist: May i have a taste?
