A word used in reference to marijuana which is also known as weed. Origin: Came from the various denominations of weed, 5 dollars worth of weed and 10 dollars worth of it which gave rise to the term nickels and dimes.

When banks secretly charge and take money from you for stupid violations and penalties: ie ATM machines, limited checking, under the minimum balance of an account, etc. and usually result in pissing off their customers and gaining more money.
"Shit! I had $99.50 in my savings, but since the bank minimum is $100 for the account to stay active, they took out $4.50 in penalty fees!"
