For all intensive purposes 

Nonsense, it means nothing. Its what people say when they really mean to say "for all intents and purposes".

2. To all intents and purposes = Correct

3. For all intensive purposes = WRONG! You should have paid attention in English class!

Internalized racism 

The phenomenon which occurs when victims of racism, through coercion or conditioning, turn racist attitudes and actions in against themselves or their racial/ethnic group.
Internalized racism involves using racist terms against other members of the same racial/ethnic group; placing higher values on members who appear or act more like the dominant group, i.e. valuing people who appear more 'white'.

Internalized Oppression

The act of becoming triggered, in which the individual does not show that they are triggered dispite being so.

All Intensive Purposes 

Originally used in common American/English vernacular as 'all intents and purposes' by just barely unintelligent people trying to sound as if the 'intents and purposes' surrounding them are highly important.

This phrase has since been changed to 'all intensive purposes' by people who do not listen carefully to the original phrase used in poorly written movies and who have also never seen it in print in equally poorly written books.

Also, the person listening to a speaker who says 'all intensive purposes' is likely to overlook it.
Tanar: Yeah, you're pretty much by best friend, but for all intensive purposes we'll just call it a tie between you and Kelsey.

Alyssa: Okay!

Internalized homophobia 

Wishing you were “normal” and straight when you are feeling gay.
Jack: I heard Sara has Internalized homophobia, I don’t get why she hates gay people.
Tom: She doesn’t hate gay people, she just never thought she would be gay and has Internalized hate towards herself.
Jack: So she’s not homophobic?
Tom: No, she’s just scared.
