card
informal
1. noun A funny, clever, and entertaining person. Gosh, Sarah sure is a card, huh? She always cracks me up! I was a bit of a class clown growing up. I liked being a card around the other kids because it got me a lot of attention. My stomach hurts from laughing so much! Oh boy, your sister's a real card!
2. verb To inspect someone's personal identification to verify that they are of legal age. The bouncer is carding everyone. There's no way he's going to let me in with this crappy fake ID. I'm nearly 35 years old, and I still get carded when I go out to the bar. Genius, we're not 21, so how do you expect to get into the bar when they're carding everybody?
carding
A type of fraud in which credit card, bank account, and other personal information is stolen and then sold, usually online. I'm worried that my bank information was stolen in a carding scheme. We've gotten reports of a number of carding attempts being made against our customers recently. Remember, we will never ask you for your password under any circumstances, whether on the phone or by email. Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to these kinds of carding attacks, I'm afraid.
