Slang for a person who’s only contributions to discussions are vague, positive statements. Nobody disagrees with them because there’s nothing of substance in what they say. They prevent issues from being discussed because the only response to their feel-good cliche is a quiet head nod or other innocuous affirmation. The conversation typically fizzles out because it’s easy to look like a jackass by detracting from the positive end note in a group setting.
Someone is a genuine Greeting Card when they truly believe their vague positivity accomplished something.
Someone can cynically act like a Greeting Card when they intentionally want to close a hard conversation where they may have to deal with uncomfortable topics or discussions. Watch politicians and corporate executives do it all the time.
"I think what we can all agree on is that the children’s safety is very important to all of us." – Jim, in a meeting
"Jim always kisses ass and only says obvious shit that means nothing. We never talk about how to actually fix things. Jim is such a freaking Greeting Card!" – Jane, to a friend after the meeting
A verb, usually used in the past tense, describing the behavior of waitstaff validating identification for the purpose of age verification before serving alcohol.
This variation of the standard "carding" procedure is used when an overly polite waiter or waitress asks for the identification of a possibly underage patron, then subsequently requests identification from a patron clearly over the legal drinking age.
Waiter (to young looking female patron): "Miss, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Waiter (to female patron's obviously older male companion): "Sir, may I see your ID? Thank you."
Male Patron (to Female Patron): I just got courtesy carded.
When a bartender/server cards you even though it is obvious you are well over 21. Asking someone older for ID is a damn good way to get a better tip.
I think that bartender just vanity carded me, or does my moisturizer work that well? Either way, I'm leaving a good tip!
M card: The "Menopause" card.
Menopause; the menstrual cycle (periods) ceases for life. No longer able to procreate. Usually occurs between mid-to-late-40's. Sexual freedom; pregnancy is no longer a concern.
I hold my M card, my daughter still holds her V card - or the virginity card.
A report card is a piece of paper that decides how much your family loves you and how young you die. It also decides when you go out to dinner next, in most cases.
Child: My report card came today!
Parent: Let me see!

Parent: You're disowned
