scrabble player who earns their points by adding an "s" or "d" to the end of a high scoring word belonging to another player.
or a player who blocks off certain high point letters or triple word squares, just to prevent the other players from using them.
In general, any practice by a scrabble player that is allowed by the rules, but just seems like an unfair sheist.

Get the Scrabble Sheister mug.Someone hired on the basis of nepotism: when relatives or spouces of company employees are preferred for new hires. Companies assume that the relative of a stable, responsible employee will have a similar work ethic, so rather than take a risk on time-consuming resume reading and interviewing with outside hires, they will simply nepo hire. An HR cop-out.
Did you meet the new guy? He's John's step-brother.
Yeah, I heard they didn't even call his references or require a drug-screen test. He's a total nepo hire.

Get the nepo hire mug.He knows where the money comes from, who pays him his livelihood or gives him the most personal gain. Used to describe how money concerns often rules people's decisons despite their feelings or personal opinions. No matter what people pander, they will not bite the hand that feeds.
He may gripe about his boss and talk about starting a new career, but he knows which side of his bread is buttered.
Corporate America may not like Trump's sexist statements, but they will still vote for him because after all, they know which side of their bread is buttered.

Get the he knows which side of his bread is buttered mug.Water. A tongue-in-cheek joke derived from the creation story in the Bible. Adam was the first man in the Garden of Eden; he lived a pure lifestyle in communion with God. Before the fall, he was unclothed an eating just fruits and vegetables in the garden, therefore the only thing to drink was water.

Get the adam's ale mug.describing people who only care about eating, sleeping, making money, and owning crap. Very unimaginative, uncultured people with no concept of the arts, history, language, faith, travel, or why any those things should be valued. Has not visited a library or museum since the 7th grade. Doesn't know the name of a bluebird (really). Like Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins, they "can't see past the end of their nose".

Get the provincial mug.a person who does what everyone else expects them to do. Whatever gets them the most praise or popularity, whether it is good or bad or dumb, they just do it unquestioningly. A person who is being taken advantage of but they just eat it up with a spoon and ask for seconds. Some tools don't understand that they are being used, others do and will complain incessantly about being unfairly treated, while having no intention of doing anything about it.
Jim is always complaining about his horrible miserable job, but he will never take the trouble of looking for a better one. What a tool!

Get the tool mug.someone who is unwilling to change, and who is prejudiced against outsiders and those not sharing their worldview.
Rednecks live their entire lives in the same area, usually rural, as there is too much diversity in cities. They tend to keep the same opinions as their parents and grandparents; family values and bigotry alike are passed down and kept alive through the younger generation. A lack of taste (in clothing, housing, decor, tv shows) is common, but not a fast rule. There are rednecks in every country, but they sometimes go by different names depending on region.

Annie Jo: "My Momma said that if God wanted black people and white people to get married, he would have made them the same color."
Allison: "Why would God care if people's skin color matched? Don't be such a redneck."
