Spurchase

Spur of the moment purchase - an impulse buy often without thought or planning.

A 'spurchase' may lead to buyers remorse, and depending on what you spurchased, it may lead to ridicule, embarrassment and a trip back to the store for a refund.

Attention Purchase

When a guy so desperate for female attention he will use his dad's credit card to donate $100s to a random streamer, just to see his name on the screen or a "heart" on Youtube. Often found on Twitch cam streams and anything involving pokimane.
Joe: "Man I sent this girl on Twitch $500 and she said thanks!"
Jim: "Dude, talking to girls irl is free! Stop with the attention purchase!"

Proof of purchase

The somewhat fishy smell left on your fingers after fingering a girl. It can prove to your buddy you hooked up with a girl.

virtue-purchase

Similar to virtue signalling but done by means of buying trendy goods or services so as to display one's sense of contrived self-superiority: items such as books by politically correct authors, garish artwork purported to save rain-forests, or FairTrade coffee that makes the buyer feel woke; faddishly leftist buying habits that conform to intersectionality and other expressions of socially popular SJW pseudoscience, especially popular among university students.
Asheleigh-Meghan isn't going to actually read Michelle Obama's new book. She just bought it to put on the coffee table in case one of her black classmates shows up unexpectedly. It's more of a virtue-purchase.

What you say at the end of a lame story, or during an awkward silence. Can be used instead of "and then I found 20 dollars" or "and that's why you never milk an ostrich"
Alana: So... I was walking yesterday, and I saw a llama. He looked at me, and then he fell asleep. So I went home because I was tired. And then I went to sleep. When I woke up it was 7:00 so I went to school

Amy:...

Alana: And then a hobo walked out, burst into flames, and gave me a free refrigerator with a purchase of five dollars or more

horny purchase

when you buy something (pair of expensive boxers/lingerie set etc) whilst slightly aroused then you regret it after losing your arousal and thinking why the hell did i buy those?

the item then becomes relevant again next time you’re horny, but loses it’s relevance again after.

single people are 10x more likely to make a horny purchase, as you have to then (even slightly) regret the item given that nobody is there to appreciate it but you.
“why did you buy them expensive boxers, you’re single it’s not like anybody is going to appreciate them? “
“was a horny purchase mate”

purchase pleasure

The unexplained feeling of bliss, joy and satisfaction one gets following a purchase. It can last anything from a few hours to a few weeks depending on the size, worth or usefulness of the item acquired. Buyer's remorse can sometimes follow or replace purchase pleasure. It is often a reason for shopping addiction.
#1:
Laura-May: Hanging out and shopping with you yesterday made me really happy.

Grant: Me too, but then I'm always happy when I buy things. I'm still getting purchase pleasure today.

#2: I'm not sure I want to go anywhere today honey, I've had a miserable week at work.

Come on, I'll take you to the mall. You'll forget your problems with some purchase pleasure.
