Capitalism

A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.

I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!

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."

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...

Parapsychology

1. The study of paranormal entities, such as ghosts. Commonly used in fiction.
2. A type of front-line psychology involving heavy retrospect and scientific thought. Commonly employed by individuals with depression and anxiety, either supplementing or in lieu of professional psychiatric care.

1. I've been handling ghost-hunting for years now, so I've got a pretty good grasp on parapsychology. Did you know that what was previously considered spectral ectoplasm... goes on tangent
2. I'm tired of my psychology getting in the way of me living my life, so I've been doing some pretty heavy parapsychology lately, trying to get to the core of the issues I've been having.

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.

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.

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?"
