Fine print

    Classically, this was the detail in a contract, often including non-standard terms. However, this detail so often contained restrictions or disadvantageous terms, either printed in small type or couched in obscure terminology, that "fine print" has come to mean that this is where the supplier etc. "does you over". As an example, try reading the details of a travel insurance contract sometime. It's also known as "small print".
