Slang for a person who’s only contributions to discussions are vague, positive statements. Nobody disagrees with them because there’s nothing of substance in what they say. They prevent issues from being discussed because the only response to their feel-good cliche is a quiet head nod or other innocuous affirmation. The conversation typically fizzles out because it’s easy to look like a jackass by detracting from the positive end note in a group setting.
Someone is a genuine Greeting Card when they truly believe their vague positivity accomplished something.
Someone can cynically act like a Greeting Card when they intentionally want to close a hard conversation where they may have to deal with uncomfortable topics or discussions. Watch politicians and corporate executives do it all the time.

The much hated serious subject raised by someone following a funny conversation, usually about a similar or related subject.
John: And then I spent an hour in the waiting room with bandage around my head and a golf club in my hand!
Laughter
Sally: Man, that's funny John. But don't you think it's the current political corruption that's causing these increased hospital waiting times?
John: Did you really just pull the serious card?

Card licker is a pejorative term used to describe a person who is extremely frugal and penny-pinching to the point of being stingy. This type of individual is notorious for hoarding resources and taking great measures to save even the smallest amounts of money, such as by licking the adhesive off of used postage stamps to reuse them. The term is often used as a criticism of individuals who prioritize saving money over personal hygiene or basic social norms.
"Can you believe he's reusing that old tea bag for the third time? He's such a card licker."
"Every time we go out to eat, she insists on only drinking water to save money. What a card licker."
"I went out to eat with my friend and we agreed to split the bill. But when the check came, he only put in the exact amount of his own meal and didn't even offer to split the tip. I'm pretty sure he's a card licker."

Someone wanted more people to get in a line, this time a vaccine line, so they started offering everybody a gift card and a donut out of desperation.
