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...

McDonalds

A restaurant chain that people who willingly stand for the national anthem at American basketball games eat at.

Can you believe it, Earl? If our team wins the basketball game, McDonalds will give out free french fries for showing our game tickets at the drive thru window! I'm sure proud to be an American!

The doctor's middle finger

A slang term for opioids, where they are viewed as a doctor's way of giving someone the middle finger. If the doctor can't diagnose a patient's condition, and the patient continues to insist on treatment options in spite of the doctor's reluctance, the doctor may prescribe the patient opioids as a way of simply shutting them up rather than helping them figure out what's wrong. Given the naturally addictive nature of opioid medications, this is often seen as a doctor's way of hurting someone back, often being viewed as the worst-kept secret of American healthcare.

"I recently found out my grandma's death was attributed to an opioid overdose. She'd received the doctor's middle finger over her chronic kidney troubles in 2006, and things were never really the same for her since then."

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.

bread pudding

A dessert consisting of chunks of stale bread soaked in a sweet custard mixture before being baked. Often paired with a thick vanilla sauce. Despite the strange concept, it's a very easy dessert to make with often disproportionately delicious end results. Be warned, however: if you make this recipe for an event, its attendees WILL start hounding you to make more and more of it for them in the future. It's just that good.

I made some white chocolate bread pudding for my mom's birthday party last week, and it turned out really good! So good, in fact, that now people won't stop talking about it with me...

Hyperinclusion

Excessive openness of a group in fear of cultural exclusivity. Often flounders in the face of questions regarding cultural identity, and acts as a political caveat to prevent the policing of deleterious behaviors. (cf. Gatekeeping)

Coping with severe discrimination online, most furries and the online communities they manage are rife with policies of hyperinclusion. They shut down any semblance of 'gatekeeping' in an effort to make their communities as wholesome as possible. Aside from the cultural dilution that naturally occurs as of a result of this sort of philosophy, this can add a thick layer of arguably superfluous red tape to many instances of judicial action, resulting in sluggish moderator action and minor server corruption.

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?"
