tourist torpor

(noun) The way people grind to an unbelievably slow trundle when surrounded by either too many opportunities to buy (like a shopping malls) or garish tourist attractions (like Disneyland).

"Dude, I'm sorry we're late for dinner. There was crushing tourist torpor at the mall, it took us 25 minutes just to get to the car."

tourist trap

A place specifically designed to attract stupid tourists and take their money. It's like taking candy from a baby, that's how easily they fork it over.

I thought the largest ball of twine in the world would be really cool and worth every penny of the $29 entrance fee, but I was really disappointed when I realized that it was nothing but a dumb tourist trap.

Tourist Trap

A place that stupid idiots and the media portray to be a great place to visit or live, but in reality is a crime infested rundown shithole and the people there are rude and the food sucks.
Also known as Paris France.

When I went to paris, it was the most horrible place I have ever been to. The whole city was a shithole, my wallet with my id, passport, and all of my money was stolen by some little kids, all the people there were snooty little dickheads that reeked of piss and B-O, the women there are ugly as hell and don't shave their armpits, and they eat fucking snails over there. FUCKING SNAILS!!!
Don't ever go to france, it's a god damn tourist trap. No matter how glamorous the media portrays it to be, it fucking sucks donkey dick.

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?

Tourist Two Step

When your walking in a store, or a crowded area and you come in contact with another walker in your direction. You see this person coming so you decide your going to move over, but the other person sees you coming too and they think the same. You guys end up crossing paths and you both do a little akward two step movement to get out of the oncoming persons way.

I was walking through the mall, when a lady started walking in my direction. In a nervous panic I tried to get out of her way but I ended up doing the tourist two step to avoid her.

Tourist Fucker

A man or a woman who takes pride in having sex with people who are only in town for a short period of time AKA tourists.

While visiting Chicago last week, I met a really cool guy at a wedding. Too bad I later found out from my girlfriend that he is just a tourist fucker and he never really liked me.

Tourist; I had a really great time with you while on vacation in Chicago. I hope we can keep in touch after I go home.

Tourist Fucker; I don't think so, have a great flight home.
