D2

Shorthand for 'designated driver.' The person who escorts you to the club, drinks lightly if at all, and helps drive you home after a long night of cirrhotic frivolity. D2s are occasionally given special treatment by bartenders for their services, such as offering snacks and non-alcoholic beverages to dedicated D2s.

Person 1: "Hey, can you be my D2 tonight?"
Person 2: "Sure! I charge $13 per hour, plus $50 if you vomit in my car."
Person 1: "What? Why are you charging me just to-- ...oh."

Micropolitics

The policies and government of a smaller community of people, such as a Discord server's worth or a town as opposed to a district. (cf. Macropolitics)

I'm not interested in running for senate. Macropolitics are much too aggressive for my liking--I'll just stick with the more local micropolitics of my city.

Capitalism

A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.

I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!

Charity

A common type of money-laundering scam that makes use of guilt-tripping and vague appeals to one's sense of compassion in order to accrue massive amounts of monetary 'donations'. Unlike other scams, charity is very effective in urbanized environments such as Europe and the USA due to the massive amount of political padding around humanitarian efforts, making it very difficult to launch investigations into suspected money laundering operations under such themes.

I'm sick and tired of seeing all these in-your-face charity funds up online. I'd sooner donate my bank account credentials to a random African prince than help some random eastern-European dude buy cocaine or some shit.

The doctor's middle finger

A slang term for opioids, where they are viewed as a doctor's way of giving someone the middle finger. If the doctor can't diagnose a patient's condition, and the patient continues to insist on treatment options in spite of the doctor's reluctance, the doctor may prescribe the patient opioids as a way of simply shutting them up rather than helping them figure out what's wrong. Given the naturally addictive nature of opioid medications, this is often seen as a doctor's way of hurting someone back, often being viewed as the worst-kept secret of American healthcare.

"I recently found out my grandma's death was attributed to an opioid overdose. She'd received the doctor's middle finger over her chronic kidney troubles in 2006, and things were never really the same for her since then."
