A.k.a. "point-of-sale pressure". Similar to second-generation enabling, this term refers to a comparably-shameless mooching-strategy that's used on someone when you're both out shopping; it involves knowingly carrying a cancelled/expired credit card or a debit/cash/gift card that has no/insufficient funds on it, and then attempting to use said worthless plastic to pay at the checkout. Well, naturally, when the clerk swipes your card and then regretfully announces that the card was rejected, this awkward and "unexpected" delay creates an acutely-humiliating situation, especially if other shoppers are present. So you first make a great show of looking shocked/flustered/embarrassed, then hastily turn to your shopping-buddy and ask meekly but urgently, "Oh, I'm so sorry --- I forgot/didn't realize that my card wasn't gonna work this time! Do you think you could pay for my purchases just this once, and I'll pay you back as soon as I can?" And then of course, your hapless companion finds himself in a "hanged if you do and hanged if you don't" dilemma --- he can either get stuck with paying off a huge store-bill, or look like an unfeeling jerk in front of all those other customers if he indignantly refuses, especially since it would mean that you would then have to crimson-facedly tiptoe all around the store again to put all of your purchases back on the shelves, plus it would also mean that any money that your friend used for gas to take you shopping will have been wasted, also.
I prudently side-step any incidents of checkout-counter coercion by always making sure to gently-but-firmly tell my shopping-companions beforehand that (1) they will be totally "on their own" about coming up with the funds to pay for their purchases, and (2) I will **not** refund their gas-money if they're unable to obtain their desired items.

Get the over the counter infomug. When you’re going down on your girl and she farts in your mouth. Suck in the fart. Go back up to kiss her and once your mouth is on hers blow the coochie poof back into her mouth. Now you’re in control.

Get the counter attack fartmug. The act of stalking a potential stalker, in order to learn everything about them, and using this information to make yourself undesirable to them, thus evading the stalker.
I think this girl that just added me on facebook is going to stalk me. I'm going to stalk her profile, so I can lie about anything we might have in common
Yeah, Preemptive counter-stalking is the way to go.

Get the Preemptive Counter-Stalkingmug. When you have the notion that someone is watching your screen in Splitscreen Multiplayer so you hide in a very uncommon spot and watch their screen to see if your notions were correct!
Billy was killing me a lot so I hid under the car in the back of the map and Counter Screen looked to see if he was screen looking.

Get the Counter Screen lookmug. See Counter-Strike Source for my whole razing of CS. Just download Americas Army, its much more realistic, and its just as addictive. I play CS once and that was it, it freakin sucked. So play AA or get outside and get some fresh air ppl

Get the Counter-Strikemug. To date, Counter-Strike: Source has proven to be the best place for 12 year olds to prove they are better than you at life and that they screw your mom and that you're a complete flaming homosexual failure because his character shot you in the head and he screamed 'PWNT'. 'CSS' gives hopeless people hope in the fact that you can be good at nothing, not put any effort into real life development, not have a job, not be the least bit intelligent, not have any sort of education or training or skills for a job, not have a job, still live with your parents at 35, be a retarded stoner, not have a job, and still appear superior to everyone else because he has 9000 kills, 0 deaths and 1 latency. conversely, i love counter-strike source.
Guy 1: HAHAHA BOOM HEADSHOT!! I GET SO MANY HEADSHOTS IN COUNTER-STRIKE: SOURCE, HOLY S**T!
Life: You're still a failure.
