Whoever said money cannot buy happiness has clearly never shopped! Shopping isn’t just another “thing” you do in life – it’s an art, it’s a sport and it’s a skill 😛
If you love shopping (or even if you don’t fancy it as much), here are a few shopping slangs you can use the next time you want to fly into a pre, post or mid shopping verbal frenzy and impress someone 😀
1. Mall Feet
The condition of having aching, cramping and paining feet due to shopping for too long at the mall and carrying too many shopping bags.
2. Buy-Curious
A “curious” person, who most probably does not intend to “buy” anything. #BeenThereDoneThat
3. Spot Shopping
Going to buy one particular thing from the store and then just “browsing” for more stuff you “may” want. #GuiltyAsCharged
4. Retail Therapy
Shopping in order to relieve tension or stress. Yes! There’s a word for something we’ve all done, ladies!

A person who gets excited about other people’s shopping purchases. It’s usually your sweetheart friend who will accompany you when you shop and then get excited about everything you buy.

10. Clothes Horse
Someone who is passionate about new clothes and hence is a big shopper and spender. Literally all of us! :p

15. Bropping
Bro shopping. Make sure your boyfriend knows about this one!
