A larger-than-usual sum of money temporarily-stored by a third party, and that's earmarked to be doled out later upon completion of a sale or contract.
One should be very wary and careful of who is chosen to manage an esraven account, or a number of people may be forced to "eat crow" regarding said financial transaction.

Get the esraven accountmug. Cooking a reddit account is the act of making a fake account on reddit long before it's needed, by intermittently posting and commenting to lend credibility to the account when it's eventually put to use. Accounts can be created with the final purpose in mind already, or old or purchased accounts can be repurposed to become sock puppets.
Reasons someone might cook an account in advance include the ability to influence discussions, express controversial opinions without being immediately dismissed as a biased party (like paid or volunteer supporters who promote specific agendas, such as Israeli hasbara trolls that are paid or volunteer to astroturf support on social media to make it appear that their position is more popular than it really is), or share fabricated content that might be met with greater scrutiny if posted from a newly created account (such as individuals who cook accounts to share fake UFO videos they've made, disguising them as authentic recordings by ordinary people).
The difference between cooking an account and the expression "sockpuppet account" lies in the fact that cooking specifically involves the pre-planning of false engagement on an account over a period of time, whereas a sockpuppet account applies to any account being used for deceptive purposes.
The term "cooking" is derived from the act of preparing food over a period of time before it is ready.

"I posted that UFO video we made on the subreddit but everyone knew it was fake right away because the account was too new. So this time, I decided to try cooking reddit accounts, and spent the two months adding random comments and posts every few days. Hopefully when I post this new video they will be a lot less skeptical!"

Get the Accountantmug. A sock, or socks, is an internet login used for two facing on the internet. A seemingly mysterious account with intent to badmouth, or cause chaos under the protection and safety of being snug within a sock. Socks are never "known brand" trolls that have notoriety. A sock seeks relevance, but, will never attain it due to its cowardly anonymity.
This sock keeps following me around from group to group trying to hump my leg. This sock account somehow knows who I am, but, obviously I don't know who it is. Socks and failtrolls go hand in hand.

Get the Sock Accountmug. Private Account Syndrome (PRACS for short) is the delusion of being better than everybody else just because you hide behind an account that is either private or has no posts.
They usually say horrible things and slurs but have no self control as they think they are safe behind a privated account.
