New words from Barrie, where payday loan outfits outnumber Tim Hortonses and people will tan themselves till they’re blind and leathery but will scream their little lungs out at a town meeting opposing the construction of a new cell tower for fear of “radiations.”
downposit: n. The $200-$1000 security deposit demanded by a cellular phone company as a precondition to initiating a service contract with someone who has bad credit. Not technically a downpayment since, in theory, it will be refunded to the customer after 12 months of good payment history. In theory. A term often used by those whose only forms of ID are a prepaid credit card and a BYID card.
tagger: n. Apparently that’s how we pronounce “tiger” around here?
