Reverse Assimilation 

The act of an individual, group or nation assimilating to the culture of immigrant populations rather than the immigrant populations assimilating to the culture of the host nation.
Guy 1. "When Abdul and his family moved into the street we thought they may like to join in and be a part of our community. Instead some of our liberal neighbors converted to Islam and now demonize what is left of our community."

Guy 2. "Yeah well, that's reverse assimilation for you.."

avrilation 

The beauty of avrilation is that something can be continually created from nothing.
It's a marketing theory that runs against every law of physics that anybody knows, but it works because of the other law that states "there's a sucker born every minute".

The theory states that:
There is always someone who will hand over good money for a product that is worthless, even if it is created from another product that is worthless. In the process, those involved will be provided with real money that allows them to gather a very nice lifestyle and some things that are probably not schlock, thank you very much.

The product can be anything - a singer, a perfume, a keychain, item of jewelry, etc. - but is always schlock with no value in and of itself.

The marketing is always accompanied with at least one example of a lack of integrity that the victims will never see.

The term is derived from the marketing of Avril Lavigne that continued with her own marketing of herself to promote products that are associated with her for marketing purposes, etc etc etc.
Miley Cyrus would be nothing if it wasn't for avrilation.

Avrilation makes the world go round. Unless you're real.

assimilation 

Absorption of a minority group within a larger population; distinct from integration in that it implies a loss of cultural identity and ultimately of individuality. Usually relates to the pressure on immigrants to conform to the expectations of the mass culture in their new country. More recently applied to the aggressive subjugation of races by the Borg, and hence to a person joining a large faceless group of stupid people.
"Bad news; she bought the Avril album. Her assimilation is complete."

assimilation by the Borg 

The habit of wearing a Bluetooth cell phone on one's ear at all times. Usually in reference to high-powered executive types, the first to develop this habit in earnest.
Have you seen the new director of security? Yeah, he's been assimilated..... (Note that any form of "assimilation by the Borg" can be used.)
