MUCK

May also be called Multi User Collective Kingdom or Multi User Construction Kit, depending on who you ask. The most common is Fuzzball MUCK, an open-source project. Two popular MUCKs are Tapestries and FurryMUCK. It is a text-based roleplay environment simmilar to a MUD but without the requirement to kill things and level.

Kevin has thirty-five alts on Tapestries MUCK.

swoop and squat

Such an operation typically involves two cars driven by suspects who box in a victim’s car on a freeway, causing a collision. The scam participants then file fraudulent insurance claims for alleged injuries.

The Insurance Commissioner on Wednesday announced the arrest of the suspected ringleader of a major operation that has allegedly staged more than 60 swoop and squats over the past 18 months, bilking insurers and consumers out of $2 million to $3 million.

plastics

Banker jargon for credit or debit cards. Usually used in the plural form even when referring to a single card.

Also used as a derogatory term for small-balance credit card holders by those who work in customer care for banks.

The more plastics we put in the hands of consumers the more revenue we generate.

The customer requested new plastics after having cut up their existing ones.

Hold on, I've got a plastic on the phone.
