Trifling

Actual meaning- petty, insignificant, someone who is overly concerned with things that really don't matter outside of his or her own mind.

Example: a person could be considered "trifling" if they value money or superficial things that really are not important such as a gold digger or dudes who post handfuls of cash in their hands in a bathroom selfie to impress others when clearly the background of their selfie is a POS college dorm type place they are living in with a broken shower head so it's obvious they are not really rich.

Another version is someone who makes a big deal out of things like not closing the blinds correctly or putting the toilet seat down.

A person can be called trifling as an insult as well because you are saying that they do not matter to anyone else but themselves, you are saying that they are unimportant.
My boss has gotten all worked up about trifling things lately, he posted signs everywhere that if the blinds aren't closed correctly or the air isn't on the exact temperature then you get blasted with some stupid email about it. It seems he really needs to find something in his life worth worrying about.

trifling bitch

The textbook trifling bitch. You know, the one that cheats on you, snoops in your belongings, tells you how much she's not over you then immediately goes and sleeps with a married guy who's almost as old as my mom. Yeah, that girl.

Triflecopter

An imaginary helicopter full of trifling that can be envisioned to carry people who are trifling, or that may actually bring in a large shipment of trifling to a person.

The term is most often used to express a large amount of trifling on the part of one individual, but can also refer to the arrival of said individual.

Much like the roflcopter carries rofl, the triflecopter carries trifling.
Example 1: "So even after you fixed her car, bought her a new purse, and helped her move her furniture, she wouldn't even fix you a sandwich?"

"No, that bitch was flying the triflecopter today."


Example 2: As a known trifler walks in - "Uh oh, I hear the triflecopter coming in for a landing."

Example 3: As suspected trifling is about to begin - "Sounds like the triflecopter is starting its engines."
