gazump

1) To be ripped off by a greedy real estate agent. Usually when the price for

1) I got gazumped when I tried to buy that house - after we agreed on a price, they changed the contract.

2) I saw a documentary about hippos gazumping each other..

Dump Gazumped

The term used when one has been waiting a while to use the toilet for a shit, but when he/she goes to the toilet, there is already someone using it, usually having a shit.

The word gazumped comes from the real estate and property market.

e-gazump

(v.) (electronic gazumping) The act of sneakily outbidding someone on a timed internet auction. To e-gazump on e-bay, it is advised you wait until there is a mere 60 seconds left to bid (Refresh the page with the F5 button until you see the clock hit under 1 min) then place your bid. You should still have 10-20 seconds left when finished, which is usually not enough time for any other bidders to gazump you, since it is a timed auction.

Motherfucker! I got e-gazumped for a toilet seat that John Lennon used in 1978. The guy who wanted also placed a bid for the jar of Tom Cruise's snot and a SNES. I think I'll push the bidding up on those and spam his email addy.

Gazumped on a Breville

When your day is going so badly even the small things go wrong, like you can't even win an eBay auction for a used Breville sandwich toaster your luck runs so bad.

I Hump Day never fails to disspoint. Today it is another day of incessant party wall banging, and power tool usage from next door, AND I've been gazumped on a Breville at the 11th hour 🤦 ♀️
