One sided, clinical and awkward consensual sex. Typically used to describe sexual activities in a relationship wherein one party is with the other out of pity and/or because one (or both) of them simply wanted to be in one instead of building a future with their partner. Often an indicator that such a relationship is not long for this world.
"Bro, my roommate Dan was getting the Wilmslow Express in our dorm. Emily deserves better than that creep."
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that relationship is over by winter break."

Someone who proclaims to have an all-encompassing knowledge of filmmaking but whose main personality traits are making 4 hour long YouTube videos about why The Last Jedi was worse than the Holocaust and shitting on Ghostbusters 2016. The Film Bro (correctly) dislikes the cynicism present in both films, but wastes everyone’s time by reminding us that it's shit years after it was fashionable, often in a long-winded and repetitive fashion.
Mark, my self proclaimed "Film Bro" friend, claims to be a true cinephile, but when we hang out all he talks about is how Rian Johnson is evil incarnate. He's never actually asked me and the boys if we could go see a movie, either.

A (mostly eradicated) disease where an adult-oriented film/franchise is heavily reworked for children, or at least for a family-friendly audience due to its toyetic potential. Murphy's Syndrome was most prevalent from the 70s to the 90s, with specific examples including Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, The Mask, and Alien. It's a syndrome because nobody fucking knows why some stuffed shirts thought such a practice would be a good idea.
The name derives from the real name of RoboCop, Alex Murphy, one of the most well-known victims of the disease, having two shitty cartoons, a bland live-action show that only lasted one season, and two PG-13 rated films that nobody likes.

My cousin Chris grew up with RoboCop: Alpha Commando, not realizing that it was the result of Murphy's Syndrome.

A subgenre of videogames which share the core elements of Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto" series, including:
1. an open, explorable world with hidden collectibles,
2. multiple vehicles and weapons, and
3. (a majority of the time) the ability to commit various misdemeanors and felonies, such as murder, theft, and aggravated assault, in addition to a "Wanted" system which responds to the player's misdeeds.
Most well-known Theftlike games, such as Red Dead Redemption I and II, Bully, and L.A. Noire, are actually published by Rockstar, though others, such as Mafia and Saints Row, are not. The name is derived from the Soulslike subgenre, which, as the name implies, are games which take heavy inspiration from FromSoftware's series "Dark Souls".

After my little brother Brayden got his PS5 taken away for racking up $3,000 worth of Shark Cards on our dad's IRL credit card, he's been desperate to find another Theftlike game that's available on our musty, old Xbox 360.
