Hippy Tax

1. An amount of money paid in addition to the usual amount with the assumption that some of the proceeds will benefit a popular charity or other cause.

2. Extra money paid for a product which may or not include additional features, products or services aimed at the hippy market.

3. Money paid by those who are predisposed to paying extra for products and services that help them to pretend the 60s never ended.

Cheech paid the hippy tax for his organic milk and soy burger. He spent $25 for lunch, I spent $4.50 on my fast food.

The New beetle is nothing like the old VW Beetle; it's essentially a rounded Golf with a hippy tax added.

The Toyota Prius levies a heavy hippy tax on green consumers who have no concept of total cost of ownership.

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.

loop you in

To CC someone on a message so that they may keep up with the thread. Sometimes involves making up an excuse to reply on a thread just to get someone in the loop.

I noticed you weren't on the email thread regarding the reorg project so I'll loop you in.

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.
