Social leverage
That's what this seems to be about for you. Bill C-16 gives your students a degree of arbitrary social leverage that you weren't willing to afford them.
Hym "Hey, I really didn't use your work for a whole lot initially. I was saying back then what YOU are saying NOW because I was going though the thing that you are actively doing now. I had no recourse. I had no way of defending myself. I didn't even have the vocabulary to defend myself. The only tool I had to defend myself because I WAS (and still am) going though what you ARE going though. And I'm not allowed to use it because IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. And then I started critiquing it. And that's my REAL crime. It's like the chicken and the grasshopper. See, the chicken had a theory. And he thought his theory couldn't be contended with. Unfortunately for the chicken, there was a fatal flaw. You see, in the same way that there are two classes of fear, there are two classes of genius. And the grasshopper is both. So, like the brilliant deconstructionist that he is, the grasshopper began to contend with those uncontendwithable ideas. Jokingly at first. The chicken was enraged. His shining golden-god moment was sullied by the grasshopper.

And then the grasshopper began to posit HIS OWN IDEAS. And what's more, everyone loved it. They didn't just love it. It was objectively brilliant. Poetry and prose the likes of which the world had never seen. Comedy skits, philosophy, theology, social psychology. Literally billions of dollars worth of ideas. And not just quality but quantity as well. An untapped wellspring of new ideas. Some speculation. From conceptual arms deal to archetypal hero (and villian sometimes) over night.... and shit, I'm running out of characters.... Long story short, the grasshopper is now technically one of the greatest writer's all time and I forgot to use the words 'social leverage'. Shit. I went off half cocked here. I'll come back to it.

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.

Serial Monogamist
Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
