costume

An outfit which one normally wears for special occasions or functions, outside of personal formality or professionalism (except in a few cases, such as actors and mascots), which tends to deviate from one's personal style; a costume is often worn as a representation or reference of either a fictional or famous Person, Animal, or Idea (such as an emotion, a sentient monster, or a place). They can be hand-made or professionally tailored - likewise, they can be made of anything, from cardboard and Solo Cups to silk and velvet. There is also a market for Pet Costumes.
In some American and European Countries, many people observe Halloween by dawning costumes in the likeness of animals, celebrities, monsters, witches, emergency personnel, and pop culture icons like a glass of beer or a dildo.

At certain expositions, it is also common, if not customary, to wear a costume. Such events include various Anime Conventions (Anime Expo), (San Diego/NewYork) Comic Con, and Furry Conventions (AnthroCon).

The costumes were great!

An insulting comment on a theatrical production, disguised as a compliment.
"Dwaaahhling!!! So glad you made it! What did you think of the show?"
"Oh uh...wow! The costumes were great! Where did you hire them?"
Subtext: the acting was wooden; no one knew their lines; I kept looking at my watch. It was a sack of pig shit.

costomer

An unprofitable customer, or a customer that costs the business.
If we let him use all those coupons we'll go broke. Tell that costomer to go away!

That guy keeps finding little glitches in our program, and it's taking like 5 hours a week of our time just to help one person. Plus he's always sending spam and we're getting letters from ISP's. He is a VERY BAD COSTOMER.

Consume product

To mindlessly buy shit you don’t need for stupid reasons, typically because it’s advertised well.
Don’t ask questions, just consume product and get excited for next products.
