Exchange Raped

Definition

The financial gut-punch you feel after converting currency and realizing you got way less value than expected—when foreign exchange rates make your wallet weep. A brutal reminder that money's buying power doesn't travel well.

Example Usage

I went to Europe and got completely exchange raped. My $100 turned into €85 and a sense of betrayal.
