phrase used when someone is bragging to you about certain price they got on something.
origin: this phrase was seen sometime in 1993 on a hand written poster advertising a carpool from collge back to the Boston area. Actual phrase was "I'm cheaper than the bus". After finding out who wrote it, it became an inside joke (how much is this, cheaper than the bus haha) but quickly became a regional term for a good deal.
"glasspieces at Conventry were only 30 bucks!"
"wow, those are cheaper than the bus"
<1>Dude, we were pulling cable in that old building and we found about 20 miles of Cheapernet in it.
<2>Cheaperwhat?
<1>Ethercheap.
<2>OOOH you mean Ethercrap!
A family that travels on an extreme budget, going as far as getting free accomodations by pretending to be interested in a time share.
Son - Aww Dad, do we have to sit through ANOTHER mandatory presentation??
Father - Yes son, but hopefully this one will be less than 4 hours and we will get to the beach before dark today! Chin up, bud, we're the Cheapersons! This whole trip is costing us less than 200 bucks!
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
