Imprinting 

Psychologically speaking, imprinting is when a younger person (typically a child) follows in the footsteps of the first person they interact with early in their life. It could be their mother, big brother or big sister. When the child views that person as their role model, they have essentially imprinted onto them. The said child fantasizes about being like their role model, being intimate with their role model (e.g. hugging), and willing to do anything they ask. This happens not only in humans but also in animals (e.g. baby chicks following and copying their mother duck after hatching).

Going off of that, you could say that in general, imprinting is the act of looking up to a person and viewing them as their idol, often to an excessive and subservient degree.
Imprinting often happens when you crush on someone for the first time. You just wanna be like them, be with them, and have everything to do with them. When they're put in the same group as you, you suddenly feel a strong sense of devotion. That is the essence of imprinting.

White Knight 

1) In general, someone who fights for fairness and impartiality. Isn't afraid to go against the popular opinion of a community to make sure that no one (or no thing) gets misunderstood.

2) The antithesis of a black knight.
3) Me.
"I'm a white knight and all them haters can frick the frick off" - me
"Poor you, defending everyone and everything. I might as well whoop your ass too." - Black knight
"Let that idea entertain you, because the reality is that white knights always win. Wake up you incompetent fool. " - me
Gherkins are pickles but the tiny kind. Hence, it is used as a metaphor for a tiny penis. May be used liberally.
Bill: Hey watcha doing Tom
Tom: Oh nothin bill, just jerkin the gherkin

Girl 1: Last night we bathed nude together and I found out he has a gherkin
Girl 2: Nice

Wonderbread 

1) The most boring brand of bread ever. They are so commonplace that even dollar stores sell them.
2) Something that you fail to notice in a public setting, simply because it is too commonplace.
3) An option that is always available but you always avoid because there is always something better.
1) I always consider the store's freshly baked bread first. If there's no bakery, then I'll settle with Dempster's I guess. But I'll never in my life buy wonderbread, mostly cus I never paid attention to it in the first place.
2) The mainstream music playing from the store's speakers is like wonderbread.
3) When shopping for 2L sodas, you're always going to consider the main brands first. The other no-name brands are just wonderbreads.

Butthurt 

An oversensitive sore loser who throws a temper tantrum over the most stupidest things. Mostly experienced by NFTbros when people screenshot their "possessions".
Charles: *screenshots an NFT*
NFTBro: THAT'S MINE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!
Charles: Jeeeeeeeez, chill bro why you gotta be so butthurt.

None of your business 

A thought-terminating cliché used to quell any critical thinking that may be used to expose someone's immoral/irresponsible/sordid actions and behaviours.

While there are occasions where this phrase is justified, most often than not it's used unjustifiably.
JUSTIFIED USE:
"So are you two sleeping together??"
"I'm sorry but that's none of your business"

UNJUSTIFIED USE:
*father verbally abuses their children on the bus*
Bystander: Excuse me but you should really treat your kids better
Father: Mate that's none of your business! Piss off!

UNJUSTIFIED USE:
Person 1: You shouldn't be smoking here, it's a smoke-free zone
Person 2: None of your business man

truth seeker 

What people think it means: someone who is strong-willed to seek the truth in everything.

What it actually means: A strongly opinionated individual who only thinks their point-of-view is correct and dismisses other people's perspectives, often merely just to demonstrate their grandiloquence. The real so-called "truth seekers" would never even call themselves that. Anyone who goes by this pseudonym on the internet is likely a tryhard.
Truth Seeker: "Why do people keep on insisting to believe in these myths? There's only two genders and that's a fact. God this generation is full of morons."
Me, a real intellectual: "Shut"
