Manhattan Shade

The act of lowering your own rent by charging new roommates more.

Person 1: "How can you afford all of these new toys...isn't your room like $800/month?"

Person 2: "Nah, I'm pulling the Manhattan Shade on my two new roommates...they're each paying $400 more than the guys who moved out. Suckas."
