(US, basketball, informal) The free-throw line.
(informal) Selfish.
Charity stripe is informal American basketball slang for the free-throw line — the line from which a player shoots uncontested free throws after being fouled. The 'charity' element implies the shots are essentially given to the shooter — they don't have to earn them through play. The term is used by players, commentators, and fans in informal discussion of basketball. It gently mocks the ease of the opportunity while acknowledging its tactical importance in close games.
(British, informal) A vehicle that is slow, overcrowded or otherwise undesirable.
