I met The Lionhearted at Second Sky, and I have not met a kinder fanbase anywhere else. I came to the festival alone, and they accepted me right in. I can't wait to see them again sometime.

A condition whose full form is Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaire Syndrome.
The diagnosis was first made by John Steinbeck when he said, "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
Symptoms include, but are not limited to, simping for million and billion dollar companies without any incentive, believing in the ability to pick oneself up by the bootstraps in spite of repeated failures to do so, writing off poor and homeless people as lazy regardless of context, believing in the Just World Phenomenon, and believing in pure meritocracy.
Current treatment plans are based around in-depth study of sociology, history, and economics.

The more overt version of a dog whistle. While dog whistles are subtle in their messaging, bullhorns leave nothing to the imagination. The term is often used when referring to racist rhetoric.
From the 1980s to the 2010s, American and European racist media gradually began to drop the façade of plausible deniability, becoming more and more direct with their intentions, until they became quite direct and transparent with their messaging. The National Interest declared this shift in messaging the "putting down of the dogwhistle and picking up the bullhorn."

It has the same spelling as the metal hand cannon, but is pronounced "gwen." Gun is the Chinese word for staff or stick. The term refers to a long bamboo staff used in a number of martial arts, most notably in various styles of kung fu and wushu.
I told my friends that my martial arts style involves the usage of a gun. Then I told them the Chinese meaning. I'm not as cool as they thought I am.
