shopping cart abandonment

"Shopping Cart Abandonment" is the digital equivalent of window shopping, where you embark on a virtual treasure hunt, gleefully tossing everything you desire into your online cart. It's a thrilling fantasy shopping spree, where you play billionaire for a fleeting moment in time, minus the actual spending part. After hours of careful selection, and with your cart brimming with dreams, you abruptly close the tab, leaving your virtual haul behind. It's the art of filling your cart with hope, only to ghost it with the finesse of a master abandoner, making it the ultimate no-cost escapade in the world of e-commerce consumerism.

"In the grand Shopping Cart Abandonment Olympics, Jessica scored a gold medal by expertly loading her cart with luxury goods worth a small fortune, only to abandon it with a click, proving she's a world champion in the high-stakes sport of 'look but don't buy'."

shopping-cart hockey

Refers to da steps-saving groceries-trolley-returning practice whereby ya halt a few yards from da cart-corral in da parking lot and then give da cart a speedy push so dat it (hopefully!) rolls da rest of da way into da corral, thus scoring a "goal".

I always love seeing my "aimed and released" shopping-cart roll smoothly between da walls of da corral; shopping-cart hockey is even more satisfying, though, if said cart also clatters itself into place at da end of da line of other carts in da corral.

Shopping Cart Theory

An everyday test over morality and responsibilty over the simple task of returning a shopping cart after unloading groceries. You aren't forced by the law to return it, you won't get any punishment for not returning it, you won't get rewarded for doing it, it doesn't take a lot of time or effort to return it, but it is the right thing to do and it organises the parking lot and makes it easier for the next people to use the shopping cart. Most people should be able to return it unless they are in a hurry. Ultimately, it's a test to see if people can do the right thing without being forced or rewarded.

"You're just gonna leave that cart there?"
"Yeah."
"You failed the shopping cart theory."
"What the hell are you talking about?"

Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine

Like sweeping something under a rug. This is the post modern, gen z style way to imply a new connotation of the underlying political weight that we can hide something in place that is obviously going to out itself eventually, but since politics are so short sighted, it's fine... This is fine... We will just shove these here for now and pretend that the waste is not as bad for the planet as other thing like... Cow farts.

Definition: "Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine" is like trying to hide something that is embarrassing, illegal, or wrong, or trying to keep a problem secret. Like, sweeping something under a rug. The additional connotation is that there is an added layer of betrayal to the common man because something described this way means the thing is being hidden by the very body that promises to have our best interest in mind.

For example, when her mother found out she had cancer, and realized that it was likely due to the mother's habitual smoking for years, she chose to shove the windmill blades into a coal mine and just convince the girl that it was just a cold that wouldn't quit and vitamins would be fine.
