rerail

Assuming the verb 'to rail' is used in the context as 'to have sex' or 'to fuck', to re-rail is to have sex with someone again/ multiple times; to rail again with a linguistic and harmonious sound (re-screw and re-fuck just don't work!)
-Where's your friend?
--Oh, probably upstairs railing some dude.
-Really! When she gets back, she better be down to rerail.

Did that girl ever call you back after your one night stand?
Of course, she couldn't get enough. We rerailed before Church on Sunday!

Retail Therapy

1. An idiot's way of dealing with an idiotic problem.

2, One of the most moronic notions bestowed upon humankind that simply buying some frivolous mass-produced good can alleviate one's mood or take away a bad feeling caused by a REAL problem, when in fact buying some random product will do nothing about the actual problem but MAY induce an hour's worth of distraction which is enough for people who have the attention span and memory of a chipmunk.
1. Omg, like my friend totally didn't text me back and I've been waiting for 2 minutes!! I'm totally gunna go to the mall and blow up my credit card now to ease this PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN. FML!!!

2. Omg!! I just found out I have a Sexually Transmitted Disease and it's like sooooOOoo gross. I need some retail therapy!!! *30 min. later* This dress is so cute... why was I upset again??

Retailiate

Boycotting or otherwise protesting against a store that operates unethically or that is not consumer-friendly.
When we found out that Jack's Department Store paid its male employees 25% more than its female employees, we retailiated by putting up posters outside for Sid's Department Store.

“I was so fucking backed up, I had to go to target for a retail Enema. I was almost shitting before I could get my pants off.

Retail Guilt

What you feel when you watch a documentary about climate change and remember all the crap you just ordered online.
"Wow, this episode of Patriot Act is really disturbing. I had no idea fast fashion was creating so much waste. Hey, are you okay? You look like you're going to throw up."

"Yeah... just thinking about the 10 shirts I don't need that'll be arriving on my doorstep tomorrow and having some serious retail guilt. I'm an asshole."

Retail management

A dark art of being able to survive while being held responsible for issues and situations outside of your control by members of the public and by those who outrank you. Often used as the cause of and solution to all of the problems of unreasonable people. Long term exposure often leads to a lack of empathy, high tolerance to pain, apathy, institutionalisation and a lack of self care. In extreme cases can lead to the illusion of job security and belief in corporate policies.
I used to fell things before I started retail management
