rug merchant

An individual, usually foreign, especially Middle Eastern, who displays goods at an inflated price in his shop, but keeps bargaining with you and offering lower prices when you say it's too expensive or you're leaving.

Term is probably rooted in the stereotype of haggling over rugs at a bazaar.

An example are the stores in tourist areas of New York City that sell trinkets and electronics. You ask them how much it is, and if you say "sorry, too high" they keep trying to lure you in with a lower price.

(In a Times Square shop)
"How much is that camera?"
"$99."
"Nah, you know that's too much..."
"For you, my friend, $90"
"No, I'm leaving."
"$80?"
"Damn rug merchant..."

Mercer Island

A land brought down from heaven into a lake situated between Seattle and Bellevue. This fantasy among subburban paradises is home to some of the most kind hearted and ebullient people i know. This 13 mile round, foot shaped island is also home to one of the 5 richest people in the world, Paul Allen, and Brad Pitt is proud to be an islander. Bill Gates lives in Medina, aka the land of the scary little peep who pop out of bushes if you try and go there. Mercer Island, an affluent society raises its children to become the next stars of America. The high school, praised by God himself, sends students to practically every Ivy-League school in america, can bellevue say that? No. The school also boasts state champion teams and KingoChamps anually. Sure football sucks but atleast Mercer Island isnt known for the best male butt tapping sport in the state.

My name is Taj, from far east and even i have heard of mercer island, where the beauties of the west are born. Suck my COCK Bellevue!
