Chargeback

A bank-initiated payment reversal that is the result of credit card fraud or a consumer successfully disputing a transaction on their credit card statement.

Chargebacks are automatically filed by banks when your credit card is stolen to reverse unauthorized charges, and can be filed by consumers under certain conditions, mainly when an item received is defective or never arrives; and that multiple attempts to settle the issue with the merchant have failed.

A merchant that receives too many chargebacks will have their merchant account closed by the bank, and will be banned from accepting credit cards for 5 years.

Henry was scammed by an online vendor, having placed an order that never arrived. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to receive a refund for the merchandise; he called his credit card company and filed a chargeback.

Charback

A Charback is not the same as a black man. A black man is a man with dark skin. charbucks are their own species(they can even sometimes be white). They are dumb, have their own language, scent, and music, and they walk like they have something wrong with their legs. They wear unusual types of clothing and live in their own communities. Charbucks are usually very poor, although there is an exception to where the Charbucks gets lucky and wins the lottery, becomes a rapper, or steals from a billionaire. But eventually all charbucks get sent to jail in some point of there life on Earth.

God dammit here we go with another night of Charback murders in Chiraq.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
