thrift store
A place that sells used clothing (and other items) for
dirt cheap. Contrary to popular belief,
thrift stores are not necessarily nasty or strictly for poor people. (Although some do smell like basement.) Yes, there's a lot of junk there, but you can find
something nice if you look hard enough.

Example:
While going through the newest
donation at
the thrift store, most of the items still had
yard sale tickets. One of us decided they were yard sale rejects.

1. A place where goods can be donated to be
refurbished and sold. Usually benefits a
non-profit organization. Saves
landfill space, efficient, and overall benefits the community.
Example:
Hot dumb girl in expensive clothes: "Oh that's a
nice shirt"
Me in stained
thrift store garb: "They make me cooler than you."
Hot girl: "How so?"
Me: "I'm a moron."
Hot Girl: "
Fo shizzle my nizzle"
okay, I totally killed this entry...

The place for
upple middle class-middle class hipster, emo, indie, scene, etc... kids/teenagers/young adults to try to find clothes that look like they are from stores like
Urban Outfitters that they can't shop at even though they have plenty of money because of the superficial convinction that while orginality can be BOUGHT at
a thrift store, it cannot be bought at a mass retailer...
Or I guess where people shop to SAVE MONEY...although you can get new clothes on sale or better quality used on ebay for almost the same price anyway.
Example:
Mark ( browsing through
the rack at
Urban Outfitters): This stuff is sooo commercial and unoriginal, it really doesn't suit my original, sophisticated, raw, independent spirit.. (makes face)
(insert light bulb here) I know!! I'll go to
a THRIFT STORE where I can buy the same crappy, low quality clothes but with a more ill fitting cut, even shittier colors, and the great musty smell of body odor and decay ! Then I'll look so original just like all my friends who wear the same ill fitting, smelly garb. Fabulous.
thrift store robber

A person who enters a thrift store with full intent to shoplift any items that will fit in their pockets and purses. They may even steal a purse and put stuff in it.
A
low form of
shoplifter who will go into any store and steal the
floor tiles if they're not tacked down well enough.
Example:
1. "Did you see that girl in Electronics? She was putting a
surge protector in her purse! WTF? She'd be
a thrift store robber, that one."
2. Stacy was kicked out of
the thrift shop for stealing all the clothes instead of putting them away; what a thrift store robber.

When you go into a
Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom or
Marc Jacobs and there are $50 tank tops stretched and faded, and generally looking like they came out of a pile of salvation army clothes. you are think WTF? but other people are eagerly trying them on and buying them, even though if you were to suggest they go to an actual thrift store and get the same clothes for $
1.99, they would be shocked/horrified/appalled.
