The definition of triflin' vs. prioritizing

Sometimes it is true that a picture - in the following case, a scene - is worth a thousand words.

One of my next door neighbors has enough junk in her backyard to compete with Fred Sanford and enough tall grass to host a season of Survivor.

She doesn't own any lawn care gear. Her yard is maintained only occasionally by a service. Services do cost money.

But I went outside earlier today to clean up a little in my own yard, and who comes running out the next door neighbor's back door? Her pet Chihuahua...wearing a brand new Miami Heat jersey.

You can afford to buy your dog clothes, but you can't pay to get your grass cut?

That, my friends, is triflin'.
