Financial abuse

A form of control where someone limits access to your money, drains your assets, or makes you financially dependent on them to exert power and trap you in a relationship.

If this feels familiar, it's okay to seek help or just talk to someone you trust. You deserve safety and happiness.
Financial abuse is a manipulative tactic that isolates the woman financially, making it harder for her to leave the relationship.

Abuser: "You don't need a separate bank account
—I'll take care of everything. Just transfer your paycheck to me, and I'll make sure the bills are paid. You're terrible with money anyway, so this is for the best."

string cheese abuse

Chomping, cutting, or ripping and eating chunks of a string cheese portion is considered string cheese abuse. It is difficult to isolate this colloquialism. It is, however, more common than one may expect.

String cheese is intended to be shredded along the length of its geometric pattern. It is shared in delicate threads and tendrils between grotesque, dairy fiend, farting lovers. Their friends may brind them celery and other greens in desperate attempts to mitigate certain consequences of this decadence if it persists for too long.
Yes, dear, but I'm making a dish that requires these chunks of mozerrella, so we are committing sanctioned string cheese abuse.

Sally abused Candy's senses when she woke her up this morning.

Your music is abuse to my senses.

It was an abuse of the senses when I walked into the toilet this morning.

abuse tax

A tariff we pay to the State or Federal government to recompense them for abusing us.
I can at least partially understand levying an abuse tax on truly "optional" abuse-items like tobacco or alcohol, but why charge it on gasoline? That's a necessary commodity to merely get around, and besides, it's not as if we aren't TRYING to use other fuels and/or forms of motive-power --- many people are trying to promote "green" forms of transportation like bicycles, electric vehicles, ethanol, etc., but the powers-that-be are actively squelching the development of such technology. Why, even GM itself crushed its own EV1 electric cars that people ALREADY WERE USING AND LOVED... what kinda convoluted nonsense does THAT make??!?!
