Greeting Card

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.

"I think what we can all agree on is that the children’s safety is very important to all of us." – Jim, in a meeting

"Jim always kisses ass and only says obvious shit that means nothing. We never talk about how to actually fix things. Jim is such a freaking Greeting Card!" – Jane, to a friend after the meeting

I was trying to explain to Jaxxon that supporting the Iraq war is dumb and he pulled the Patriot Card on me.

Guess That Card

Guess That Card, colloquially known as "GTC", is a guessing card game played in a group of 2+ people. The dealer prompts a player to guess a single card prior to flipping over the top card in the deck. The player must name both suit and number. If the player is incorrect, the next player is prompted to guess a card. If the player is correct, they can name one of the other players to shotgun a beer. In some circles other players will join in on the shotgun, usually saying they did so "out of solidarity". If the player guesses the queen of spades and is correct, all other players have to shotgun. There exist some "unwritten rules" of the game, such as guessing the same card in successive rounds. Certain players describe this as "against the spirit of the game".

Are you familiar with Guess That Card?

Courtesy Card

A verb, usually used in the past tense, describing the behavior of waitstaff validating identification for the purpose of age verification before serving alcohol.

This variation of the standard "carding" procedure is used when an overly polite waiter or waitress asks for the identification of a possibly underage patron, then subsequently requests identification from a patron clearly over the legal drinking age.

Waiter (to young looking female patron): "Miss, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Waiter (to female patron's obviously older male companion): "Sir, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Male Patron (to Female Patron): I just got courtesy carded.
