lobbyfish

When you see photos of a hotel or apartment online that show off a beautiful lobby, only to find out it's a literal piece of junk.

Dude: Well, it looked really good from all the pics!
Guy: Those were just pics of the lobby. You got lobbyfished bro.

lobbyist

A person who is interested in basically bribing, without actually doing so, US Congressmen. Go against the principles of the Constitution because it makes the Senators and Representatives represent people other than their constituents. Take away the citizen's voice by making Congressmen more concerned with corporate fatcat profits rather than the good of the people.

"The lobbyist tried to get the Senator to pass the bill by buying him a hooker, but the Senator turned out to be gay, so the bill failed."

lobbyism

Government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, and for the lobbyists. Also known as the United States of America.

In the U.S. lobbyism flourishes at the expense of middle class Americans.

Lobbyism is different from capitalism because it is based on greed and bribery; while capitalism implies business conducted on a “level playing field.”

Lobbyism is our government gone corrupt.

Lobbyism brought the U.S. a financial meltdown, a huge recession and the worst environmental disaster in the nation’s history.

We wanted health insurance reform, but lobbyism won; now we have a mandate to buy over-priced health insurance from profiteers.

Hotel lobbyist

A guest who spends more time in the lobby than their room. Usually talking to reception staff about uninteresting facts that no body asked about.

Guest: .... and you got to roll your fingers in a downwards motion. Don't tug at it, alot of people think its a tugging motion because it looks that way, but its not...
Receptionist1: oh .... I see?

half an hour later, the guest has just left the lobby. Receptionist is catching up on paper work with a colleague.

Receptionist2: So what was the hotel lobbyist going on about?
Receptionist1:I think he was teaching me how to milk a cow or something?

lobbyistism

The current economic/political system in the United States in which whoever can pay the best lobbyist can skew (and screw) the laws and economic system to their own benefit.It is an extremely corrupted form of capitalism in which the labor of many benefit the fewest possible.

Occupy Wall Street is actually a show of disatisfaction with the current economic system of lobbyistism.

Lobbyists

(Noun) The new American Citizen, whose everyday vote (Money) matters more than the vote of the original American Citizen.

Those lobbyists sure got the win over the majority of American people, when they were able to get the President to retract his proposal on National Healthcare.

Lobbyists...Feeding the rich, while starving the poor!

Democracy, a government ran by the lobbyists for the lobbyists!
