Money that the (US) government hands out to its citizens during desperate times, not because they care about you, but because they're afraid you won't be spending enough money to boost the economy during this period.
Interesting fact: the "stimulus" in stimulus check isn't used in the psychological or physiological sense. Rather, it is referring to the economics concept of stimulating the economy (i.e. encouraging the transaction of commodities).
The fact that the name itself is in reference to the economy rather than you, the citizen, shows the shallowness behind it all.
Stimulus checks are a way of saying that the government cares, but not in the way that you'd imagine it.
The Canadian equivalent of a stimulus check is called CERB/CRB, which stands for 'Canada Emergency Response Benefit' and 'Canada Recovery Benefit', respectively. It hasâfrom the very startâbeen giving out $2000 checks every month per individual. At least the Canadian name has a better ring to it.

That very iconic classical waltz tune you hear in many movies and cartoon shows (aka the theme from 2001: space odyssey). Very comedic when you juxtapose it with a chaotic situation.
Uh oh, looks like the neighbor's are fighting again. Alexa, play Blue Danube.
Low quality food that looks stale and unappetizing but costs relatively cheap. Usually is tax-free. Depending on your school, there will be days where the cafeteria serves higher quality food, such as Taco Bowl Tuesdays.
Only to be eaten when your mom didn't pack you lunch, or when you're too lazy or busy to walk to the nearest food place.
My mom forgot to pack my lunch so I went to order some cafeteria food. Unfortunately all the good stuff had been sold out and was left to order one of those sad-looking dried out cheeseburgers.
1) A general term for audio gear from Chinese brands. Nowadays it mainly refers to in-ear monitors (IEMs, earphones) made by Chinese brands. They range from being very cost-effective to being very upmarket.
2) An addictive potent drug that starts out cheap but gets ridiculously expensive to achieve that same 'high' again.
1) Examples of Chi-fi brands (in general) include FiiO and Shangling. Examples of Chi-fi brands (IEMs) include KZ, Moondrop, Tanchjim, TINHIFI, BLON, Fearless Audio, etc.
2) I used to have plenty of money in my savings, that is until I got hooked on chi-fi. Now I'm broke. Grrrrr, chi-fi...
Something that I suffer with all the time every day of my life, and it friggin sucks. Basically your nose sinuses are so stuffed to the point that the snot "drips" down to your throat, and it makes you gag. Not really a big deal if it happens infrequently, but chronic post nasal drip is literally hell.
Me: Hey guys how's it gâ *gags loudly on snot*
Them: Woah you okay there dude?
Me: Oh dw it's nothing, just my typical post nasal drip.
PD Day, aka Professional Development Day, aka the best day of school!! Students in elementary schools do not need to go to school on a PD day, cus the adults are busy doing adult stuff.
Teacher: Hey kids guess what?! It's going to be a PD day tomorrow!
