       Word of the Day - Cheap

       You can use cheap in two ways;
       From Wikipedia;
       Cheap heat
       The incitement of a negative crowd reaction by insulting the
       crowd (by insulting the city or a local sports team, like
       wearing a Yankees jersey in Boston) or by using a news event as
       part of his promo.[1][2]
       Cheap pop
       The incitement of a positive crowd reaction by "kissing up" to
       the crowd (for example, mentioning the name of the city or
       complimenting a local sports team). Heels often follow the same
       principle but in reverse to get booed (see "Cheap heat" above).
       Mick Foley is the absolute king of cheap pops, making sure he
       mentions the town of wherever he is in at the beginning of every
       promo. The Rock used cheap heat to effectively get over in the
       same way "Finally the Rock has come back to . . ." though he
       used that as emotional leverage whenever he was wrestling in
       Miami to say "Finally, The ROCK has come . . . Home".
       The reason why it is called cheap heat is because of the lack of
       effort required and can be seen as derogatory among workers.
       Steve Austin accused Owen Hart of cheap heat when he wore a
       "Owen 3:16 says I just broke your neck" T shirt when in fact
       Owen did break Austin's neck (though I should say this was part
       of a story line and not a genuine confrontation).
