spouse tax

When your spouse gets something to eat or drink you are entitled to a portion of it.

Anna gets ice cream. Garrett says can i get some? Anna says no. Garrett claims spouse tax (husband tax), and takes some anyway.<Works with children>

Lighter tax

The common tax imposed upon all stoners careless enough to lend someone a lighter. It is often imposed by the scab of the group who is either too young or too right with his money to buy his own lighter.

That scabby bastard stole my lighter again, that's second time this week he's taken the 'lighter tax'.

asshole tax

An undisclosed sales tax charged to everyone else on most (if not all) things sold at retail stores nationwide due to the selfish actions of a select few assholes. Such actions that these assholes are guilty of include shoplifting, holding up the line in the store while trying to bargain down the price of a certain item in order to avoid paying high price for such item, and lastly, just being a plain dick to the cashier or to other retail workers all while asking to speak to the manager.

Don't be a dick to the cashier while at the Target or you'll be charged an asshole tax!!

Novelty Tax

That extra bit of $$$ people charge you to pay on top for something because it's unusual, nostalgic/iconic and elicits gawkers/discussion/conversation. It might not even be a particularly rare or valuable item but because of the aforementioned attributes the novelty tax greatly exaggerates it's value.

Example 1:
Bill: "Did Ed really pay $8500 for a old Mazda Miata? He could have gotten so many better cars for nearly as much!"
Mikey: "True, but those NAs are getting harder to find nowadays and c'mon man....those Pop-up headlights are a pretty cool party trick."
Bill: "Bruh...he paid way too much novelty tax for that old ass car, but I'll give it a pass because now he looks like a recently divorced single mother who left the hair salon with a pixie-cut because she was wanted to try something new......and you know how much I like chicks with short hair."

Example 2:
Ann: "Hey, remember when we were little and we would find Gameboys at the swap meet for $5."
Fred: "Yeah, wow what a trip. Now try finding them and their asking $50"
Anne "Didn't they sell millions of them though? Like, why are they expensive now?"
Fred "It's the novelty tax; current social media thrives on late 90s/early 00s nostalgia and now everyone wants to own a little piece of their past nowadays to show off and be validated. Nostalgia is ripe for exploitation. Now that I think of it, I have a copy of Pokemon Crystal sitting around! I'm going to eat good tonight!!"
