A phrase used by many people as means of justification for an older person doing or saying something typically racist, sexist, or simply insensitive. This is said because these senile people come from a time when Jews were thought of as lesser, being gay was automatic hell in your life, and don't even get me started on being black.
Gramps: Those damn Jews and their smartass Asians are stealing all of America's money! I bet they're gay too!
Donny: Sir, I find that highly offensive and racist. Bro, can you please control your blatantly racist father?
Butch: I'm very sorry bro. But you know, he comes from a different time.
Donny: I guess it's ok then...
Someone who's always looking for a freebie, a cheaper price, or exact change from others...Would be happier eating a crusty day old bagel for .25 cents than pay another nickel for one fresh out of the oven. Haggles the price of everything..including gas. When going on a food run if he gives you 5 bucks for a 4.99 item he expects his penny back
Did you see him try to pull a combesstien at Denneys? Asking if they had expired milk at a cheaper price??!
