geezer shopping

An art form of sorts, mastered by older folks, wherein the full geriatric shopping experience, from shelves to check stand, is exceedingly slow and careful and therefore difficult for everyone around to tolerate without triggering impatience and duress.

Take a chill pill, dearie, I’m old - in case you haven’t noticed - and I have earned my right to get out into the world and do some geezer shopping!

spot shopping

The intention of going to the store to buy one thing but you look for other things you may want.

I went spot shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and left the store with a cart full of junk.

Shipping Wars

Verbal arguments between people who have different opinions about romantic relationships between characters of a show, book, etc.

A noticeable one would be the war between a

Robin/Raven shipper and a Robin/Starfire Shipper.

Don't say anything negative about "Stranded" online. You'll start a shipping war.

Safe Shipping Zone

A safe shipping zone is a space (typically a blog or website) where it is safe to "ship" any fictional pairings. The term is intended for the HP fandom and their pairings but can extend to any and all fandoms. Safe shipping zone means that you will not be judged for whatever characters you decide to "ship" (or want to be together) regardless of who they are and their sex/age/gender. It promotes a non-bullying atmosphere and encourages others to be respectful of certain pairings.

This is a safe shipping zone, you can ship whatever fictional or real life pairings you want without any judgement!

outside-edge shopping

Buying food only from the outside edge of the supermarket, where the fresh produce, milk, juice, etc. are displayed, in order to minimize the purchase of packaged products and to maximize eating healthy

He: Your boyfriend's really into ecology these days!
She: Yeah, he's even into outside-edge shopping?
He: Meaning?
She: He only buys stuff that is displayed around the outside edge of the supermarket because he thinks it's ecologically less damaging than the rest of the stuff there -- and better for you.
He: Neat!

Rocket Shopping

To be in need of or in desire of an ace to be shown on the flop, turn, or river. Rocket Shopping may sometimes cause poker players to become oblivious to the other player's hands although other players may be Rocket Shopping as well

Jeff: I've got Ace high
Charlie: Ha! I knew you were rocket shopping! I've got two pair.
