I went shopping at a store, loaded up on some good stuff. At the register the lady asked if I wanted to “join their buying club” and save $14?!! I said sure! She cleverly (she thought) hid the fact that she was signing me up for a new credit card.
I played dumb. Waited for the statement, paid it in full and canceled the credit card.

I’ve never spaved! I’m one of the smart ones on that trick.

I always ask, how many do I need to by before there free?

“What is the meaning of life?”

”To love”

”He clearly said, ‘to spave’

”Liar!”

Spaving. Spending trillions on getting immigrant/poor to vote your party in eternally.

Works, but not for the country.

Spaving is OK if you have the discipline to buy only items that you really need.

Completely agree. And it actually took me decades to learn that.

I’ve been on both sides of spaving. That is sometimes it’s really saved me a good deal of money and other times I bought crap I didn’t need.

it derives from those who idolize blacks. Blacks have done it for years, and to “Be Cool” whites think they got a handle on it. I for one reject the concept across the board after we were blessed with Juneteenth... that was it for me...

That is a Kohls ploy. I’ve done it several times. Pay it off, cancel. Then do it again.

I am not the best with correct English according to my EX but I am really getting tired of all these made-up words and slashed up grammar.
Was this how “Idiocracy” started?
We already had Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho as President.

Actually, it's how "English" as a language started and continues evolving. It is a bastard tongue. Even those who spoke Brittonic were slinging Latin terms and mangling words throughout.
