The buying of something that you
don'
t really need, or maybe even want, just because you think that buying SOMETHING will improve your mood. origin: "
splurge"+"purchase".
After having a bad
day:
"Hey, I think I'm going to buy this Matrix Revolutions on DVD."
"What?? Why the hell would you buy that??"
"I know.
Don'
t worry about my sanity - it's just a splurchase."
