white price

The price quoted to white tourists by Chinatown shops that don't put price tags on the merchandise.

That mahjong set in the corner only costs $30 if you're a local, but some white guy came in and paid the white price for it -- $75!

nifty fifty

A 50mm prime camera lens with an f-number of 1.8 or lower. The first lens to earn this nickname was the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, introduced in 1991. Nifty fifties are cheap to buy, have sharp optics, and give amazing bokeh.

Yeah, I got a huge collection of zooms and wide angle lenses, but when all else fails, the nifty fifty always delivers.

claim it for spain

To steal something by falsely declaring that it belongs to you, as the Conquistadors did with the New World.

I'd keep that jewelry out of Carol's sight if I were you, she might try to claim it for Spain.
