Costco shoppers who park their cart next to the free sample stand, waiting for the next batch to be ready. Usually parking in such a way that blocks easy access to other carts, discouraging other sample seekers.
Amy: "Hey, we should go get some free samples."

Matt: "Nah, it's already surrounded by sample squatters."

Amy: "Let's go ram their carts!"

Matt: "Now you're talkin'."

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/
