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.

"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

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.

When a bartender/server cards you even though it is obvious you are well over 21. Asking someone older for ID is a damn good way to get a better tip.
I think that bartender just vanity carded me, or does my moisturizer work that well? Either way, I'm leaving a good tip!

Similar to the losing your V-Card after your first time having sex, you can lose your D-Card after your first time getting your dick sucked.

When one's Debit / Credit / Whatever card misfires, fails or is abjectly declined for no apparent reason when being used to make a purchase in any PIN pad at a retail establishment.
I had just popped my chip card in the reader and IMMEDIATELY got a CARD DECLINED message. I know there's plenty of funds in there... so... it was just a Card Fart. Re-inserted it and all was fine.
