Looks like someone in eBay is doing a "Madeoff":

December "New fees": $14.55
Line Item actual amount: $14.43 (1%)

November "New Fees" = $24.56
Line Item actual amount: $24.31 (1%)

Ebay customer support agrees there is a
computer error, has existed since 2004!

So this particular scam: SIX YEARS!

Grocers do the MADEOFF:
1 gallon milk: $3.98
half gallon: $1.98 (cheaper to buy 2 of these!)

By being a businessman: I do the Madeoff everyday!

Burnie Madeoff 

An irritably sarcastic term for someone who spends foolishly/wastefully (money burns a hole in his pocket), habitually fails to repay loans (he made off with the money and nobody ever saw it again), or is otherwise irresponsible with money to a major degree.
Dude #1: I was asked for a loan of ten bucks by Jack Smith; I wondered what you thought of his reliability in paying it back.
Dude#2: Jack Smith?! No way, Buddy --- you don't wanna give **anything** to that moochin' jerk --- he's just a Burnie Madeoff!

r/MadeOfStyrofoam 

A subreddit where people who self harm go on to relate to others who have similar issues. Often times you will see memes (often self-deprecating) and rants. It's often shorted as r/MoS, and they have a certain lingo. For example, styrofoam (or 'styro') refers to the dermis layer of the skin, which is white and resembles styrofoam. Yeeting is the act of self harming, and yeeting bois/slicey bois is the tool they use to hurt themselves with. This subreddit is not for everyone.
r/MadeOfStyrofoam doesn't glorify self harming, but rather serves as a sanctuary for those who do, and it doesn't matter how "bad" you have it, you're still valid all the same. Please don't hurt yourself, Reader. It's not worth it. Trust me, I know. I seem like a faceless words on a screen, but I too have a backstory, and you probably do too since you've looked it up. You've no reason to listen to me, and you probably won't. And due to the limitations the online worlds gives me, I can't stop you. I just hope my words reach and help someone in the world.

Bernard Madoff 

(nicknamed Bernie Madoff): alongside Nicolas Fouquet, Conrad Black, Jacques Chirac and Michel Platini, IMHO one of the top 5 most corrupt individuals in the Western world (as of May 2013).
The United States knew what they were doing when they sentenced Bernard Madoff to 150 years in jail for his ponze scheme; IMHO the Charbonneau Commission should do the same with all Canadians convicted of fraud and tax evasion.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
