act like toms

(verb) when someone is super gross rich, but says to people that they are like normal people but actually they always go to concerts, buy very expensive stuff and own a large swimming pool, they also buy stuff that they already have because they're bored, plus they always snapchat what they are doing (it's almost always something cool and fun) or what they are about to buy (it could be a new iPhone or furniture for their bedroom).

Person #1: Hey dude, wanna come with me to buy a new MacBook Air?!

Person #2: Sweetheart, you bought a new laptop yesterday! What's wrong with you?!
Person #1: Hey, you can just refuse, don't get angry!
Person #2: Girl, I don't understand you, you're acting like toms...
-------------------------------------------------
Person #3: Hey sis, do you like this new pair of creepers by Riri?!
Person #4: Damn, these cost like a money-bag!"
Person#3: "Why are you so surprised?! I'm just like you!"
Person #4: "Nope, the price of my shoes never exceeds 35 dollars, yours cost 350 dollars."
(" to act like toms" means that the person is super gross rich but they pretend they're like average people)

Acting like a granola bar

In essence, when one is acting like a granola bar, it means that they are acting in an unstable and unprecedented manner, that it evokes concern to all individuals nearby. Like Nature Valley Granola Bars, which tend to disintegrate easily. If an individual's mental health and overall lifestyle is showing signs of decline and instability, one could say that they are acting like a granola bar. In closure, to act like a granola bar means that you are fucking Wilding and acting crazy asf.

Person 1 background: recently lost their job, about to be evicted, has gotten numerous restraining orders in the last few days, hasn't taken care of their hygiene in a long ass time, and is doing black tar heroin on the double.
"Hey bro, you see that thicc ass Boulder near the highway?"
Person 2: "yeah what about it?"
Person 1: " yo we should like totally drive full speed towards it, it would be like so poggers lol"
Person 2:" imma be real with you, you have been acting like a granola bar recently, I think we should have an intervention"

Alcohol Provision Act

A national legislation established in Canada in 1964 that prohibits the sale of any alcohol products on every Tuesday of the week. All bars must legally remain closed to pay tribute and remembrance to the lives of Mounties past.

Don't road trip to Canada on a Tuesday because the Alcohol Provision Act says you can't drink.

Good acting

Something a team from LA would do naturally, especially at a time they were more desperate than usual. They know Tampa Bay doesnt have the sizable film/TV/music/media/entertainment industry of LA, so they might think of a team from Tampa Bay as suckers for good acting.

Don't put it past a team from LA to resort to good acting at opportune times to try and discourage the other guys. Especially if they think they're smarter than a team that plays baseball out in the sticks.
