aura point
"Aura point" is a gen Alpha slang term that refers to (the numerical value that measures) your reputation. There are lists of things that can increase or decrease your aura points. For example, getting caught for googling the images of women's underwear during ICT lessons can significantly decrease your aura points.

lecturer
A profession who is known for a) giving many assignments to college students every time there are new movies at cinemas, and b) using the term "thread pool" in Network Programming handouts, where this term "thread pool" happens to sound like the title of the movie that many parents deem to be too inappropriate for college students who still live with parents.
Our lecturer dropped a mountain of work right when the new blockbuster hit theaters, and now we're stuck choosing between movie night and finishing our Thread Pool assignment for our Network Programming class.

pioneer
A pejorative slang term that refers the person's who are the in their families to go to the cinemas frequently (e.g. 10 times per year), causing the rest of their families not to be attuned with their frequent cinema attendances. Oftentimes, even slight misbehaving can cause such "pioneers" not to be allowed by their parents to the cinemas, especially when the parents deem the movies to be too inappropriate to watch.
Ever since Jake started going to the cinema every weekend, his parents have tightened the leash on movie nights; now he's just seen as the family’s pioneer in cinema going who can't catch a break.

Streaming Wild West
The loophole where online contents that are not feature films, contain much more inappropriate contents as they don't have to be submitted for age rating unlike feature films.
Scrolling through TikTok felt like the Streaming Wild West—so much inappropriate stuff slipped through the cracks that would never make it to the movie theaters.
