Charity shaming

transitive verb
1. To coerce, force, pressure or intimidate another person to donate to a non-profit cause/organization that one has personally deemed worthy by 1) declaring (usu. via some social media outlet – e.g. Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Snapchat, etc.) that one has donated to said cause and then 2) challenging the other person to meet and/or surpass the donation.

2. To make an ultimatum (under the guise of harmless competition) with the intent to intimidate another person into giving aid to a cause of the intimidator’s choosing.

3. To compel someone else to participate in asshatery (parading as philanthropy), without regard to either the other person’s individual wishes/desires or knowledge of the other person’s pre-existing philanthropic history.

4. To continuously, obnoxiously solicit a charitable donation from someone who has already politely declined by 1) lowering the requested amount (southern-Cali-swap-meet-Turkish-bazaar style) and/or 2) emphatically re-(and re-, and re-)emphasizing that it’s for good cause.
1. Kevin: “I’m calling out Dave to take the ALS ice-bucket challenge…” Dumps ice water over head…vagal response causes breathing/ heartbeat to stop…passes out…slams head on floor

Dave: “Um, yeah. Fuck the ‘ALS Challenge’. I’ve been giving to six charities of my own choosing every year for over a decade and I don’t announce it to the world or dare people to do the same on Facebook. It’s not your fucking business what or how much I donate or to who or whether I even donate at all. ‘Calling me out’ won’t change my mind. Keep the charity shaming bullshit to yourself.”

*Kevin never actually sent any money to the ALS Foundation, has no clue what ALS is, doesn’t care and will never mention it again in his life – he just wanted to get in on the “fun”…

2. Caller: “Hey thar, dis is George wit' da Eternal Brotherhood of Kul County Po-leese an’ we doin’ our anyool fund drive for da famlies o’dos slain in da line o'duty. Wud ya be willin to part wit $50 t’support dah poor widus an’ orfans dis year?”

James: “Um, no, I’m not. I just don’t have the funds–“

Caller: “Yeah, I know you said ur no child-hater an’ I can put cha down for $20 t’support the orfans of the cops who died fer YOU. It’d be comin’ in the mail.” ends call “Dis herre charity shamin’ sure is easy…”

Charity

A beautiful girl that doesnt see it. She's constantly pushing herself up even when she just wants to continue falling. She wants to be someone but is too worried about what everyone else thinks so she hides it all. She's always putting everyone elses pieces back to where they belong and no realises that she cant pick her own up her own.
I think she's a Charity.........

Carstruck

When someone pulls a dick move while driving and you can't be pissed at them because they're in a car you like.
''The other day I was going through a roundabout. someone driving a lancer evo snaked in front of me. I wasn't even pissed...if it were a lesser vehicle I wouldn't have been so carstruck!''

Driving like a douchebag in a civic makes you a douchebag. Driving
like a douchebag in a bmw m3 makes people carstruck and fools them into thinking you are cool.
