Postal Banking

Many countries currently offer banking with their local post offices.

This was already a thing in the United States from 1911 to 1967 when the US Post Office offered some basic banking and lending services.

Currently the US Post Office can only cash Treasury checks and issue money orders, but if Postal Banking returns, it would be a non profit banking option that provides a variety of banking and lending services.

If interest rates get capped at the proposed 15%, won’t banks just refuse to lend to new/high risk clients?

Probably, but Postal Banking is non profit and as such can offer low-cost low-dollar loans at rates that banks don’t want to.

Clam Banking

Similar to clam baking, but instead of hot boxing your car or other small space (such as a shed, porta-potty, etc.), you and your friends haze up a small banking booth. Very illegal and extremely hard to pull off because you have to insert your own bank ID card to gain access to the booth, and because there is almost always a security camera in the booth. This only makes things more exciting, and is definitely something worth bragging about if you can pull it off somehow.

NOTE: It is not necessary to withdraw funds from your account while clam banking, but it can add some fun to your experience as you struggle to remember your password while smoke floats in front of your face.

The other day I was riding around with Johnny and two bitches and we were looking for a place to smoke. We saw a Bank of America booth in a parking lot and went clam banking. The booth was so smoked up we couldn't even see the security camera!

blinking 12 generation

The typically 50+ year old individuals who have a blinking 12:00 on their VCR. These people frequently have difficulty understanding and using anything electronic or computer related. If they do use such devices, it will normally be only for exactly their use, no more.

My dad asked me to program a show on his VCR because he is a member of the blinking 12 generation.

Blinking trick

The blinking trick occurs when you are stoned out of your fucking mind and blinking while walking makes you speed up. It almost appears as if you can teleport. Blinking for long enough might make you turn into the flash or maybe even sonic the hedgehog.

Person 1: How the fuck are you moving so fast?
Person 2: I'm just using the blinking trick dumbass

West Banking

A situation where the person you're sleeping next to in bed slowly occupies more and more of the bed throughout the night until you've been pushed all the way to the edge, leaving you with very little of what was once your side.

I didn't get any sleep last night because Brooke's pregnant and she tossed and turned, almost West Banking me off the bed.
