FOC/NSA

Acronym: "Free Of Charge, No Strings Attached". Refers to a service that is provided for free and on no explicit conditions, typically in an interpersonal context.

When I was bedridden recovering from my abdominal surgery, my neighbors Natalie and her husband Jacob offered to help handle house chores and cook meals for me. It was all offered FOC/NSA too! I'm glad there's still some kindness left in this world.

Micropolitics

The policies and government of a smaller community of people, such as a Discord server's worth or a town as opposed to a district. (cf. Macropolitics)

I'm not interested in running for senate. Macropolitics are much too aggressive for my liking--I'll just stick with the more local micropolitics of my city.

Cult classic

A movie term for a franchise that becomes insanely popular among a relatively small group of people.

Had its showrunners not introduced the concept of Regeneration, Doctor Who would have died out in the '60s as a mere cult classic.

NJRA

Acronym: "No Judgement, no Reservations, no Abuse." Acts as the equivalent of the Hippocratic oath for mental health professionals or anyone offering counseling in an interpersonal or professional context. Each part of the acronym has its own specific meaning:
- No judgement: Any NJRA counseling offered will be free of personal judgement, aside from any explicitly requested analyses of a given situation that would necessitate it.
- No reservations: Any NJRA counseling offered will be unbiased and unassuming beyond established context and clarifications made. Help should be offered without discrimination.
- No abuse: Any personal knowledge gleaned through NJRA counseling will be maintained in confidence and not be abused for the purposes of blackmail, rumor spreading, or other negligent social behavior.

Person 1: "You wanna talk about it?"
Person 2: "Eh... I dunno..."
Person 1: "No sweat, pal. NJRA."
Person 2: "Huh?"
Person 1: "It's a counselor's term; no judgement, no reservations, no abuse. Period."
Person 2: "That's... oddly reassuring. Heh."
Person 1: "Of course. What's weighing you down, friend?"

Steroidial corporation

A corporation or other entity in a state of artificial, transient economic prosperity, requiring a constant flow of exorbitant amounts of money or other resources to maintain itself. Steroidial corporations will often go to extreme measures to maintain their artificial prosperity, such as committing human rights violations or engaging in political lobbying.

America is dominated by the aggressive ambitions of steroidial corporations such as Amazon and Google. Not knowing when to back down, they have grown into terrible monstrosities with countless instances of corruption and human rights violations attributed to them. The government would surely step in to stop them if the government had not also become reliant on the heaps of dirty money coming in via taxes and bribery to sustain themselves. With how deeply-rooted the corruption of the American government and its gluttonous corporate sponsors has become, many Americans worry that only a third world war could be enough to set things right once and for all...

Charity

A common type of money-laundering scam that makes use of guilt-tripping and vague appeals to one's sense of compassion in order to accrue massive amounts of monetary 'donations'. Unlike other scams, charity is very effective in urbanized environments such as Europe and the USA due to the massive amount of political padding around humanitarian efforts, making it very difficult to launch investigations into suspected money laundering operations under such themes.

I'm sick and tired of seeing all these in-your-face charity funds up online. I'd sooner donate my bank account credentials to a random African prince than help some random eastern-European dude buy cocaine or some shit.

D2

Shorthand for 'designated driver.' The person who escorts you to the club, drinks lightly if at all, and helps drive you home after a long night of cirrhotic frivolity. D2s are occasionally given special treatment by bartenders for their services, such as offering snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to dedicated D2s.

Person 1: "Hey, can you be my D2 tonight?"
Person 2: "Sure! I charge $13 per hour, plus $50 if you vomit in my car."
Person 1: "What? Why are you charging me just to-- ...oh."
