The force exterted on a human body by retail outlets. Typically experienced when out walking with your partner and they trail 10 metres behind you looking in shoe/clothing/accessory/tool/electrical shops. The force is sex-specific, females being almost exclusively affected by the first three, males by the latter two. Retail drag is similar to other drag forces in that the drag force increases the faster you try to move the affected body.

A pick me is a woman that is willing to do anything for male approval. She will embarrass or throw other women under the bus to achieve this goal. The unfortunate thing about a pick me is usually the men they are trying to seek approval from are of poor quality and treat women badly, leaving little real benefit for the pick me.
