The adjective form of definition. Used when one wants to talk about a word, term, or phrase in relation to its definition.

Get the Definitional mug.Unlike the previous definition that was heavily misleading, Institutional (or Institutionalized) Racism defined by sociologists actually refers to the discriminatory racial practices that are rooted into the political, economic, and educational systems.
People often have the misconception that this term is a "concept" or "ideology" that proposes some kind of theory to subvert white culture.
It is not a theory, it is not an ideology, it is not some sort of lame excuse used to defend an argument, it is merely a fact which states that some institutions, be it your family or your schoolmates at school, will hold biased views towards an ethnic minority as if it was commonsense. In fact, one might not even be aware that they are being racist (in contrast to intentional racism), hence it's not their fault.
For example, according to one study in 2005, black people in Kingston Ontario were nearly four times to be pulled over by the police compared to white people. The police force admitted that they never had the attention to cherry pick people based on race, it was just a systematic reaction that they formed unconsciously.
In reality, you are most ever likely to come across this term while taking a sociology 101 course. Anyone else who tries to discredit this but has not taken one course in sociology will only be embarrassing themselves, so use this term wisely. That goes for any other people who uses this term incorrectly or in the wrong context.

Butthurt SJW: ERMAGERRDD ARE YOU BEING INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST!?!? DO YOU NOT REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU ARE FOR NOT REALIZING THAT!?!?! Breaking the 4th wall here, they're actually the stupid one for not realizing this is unconsciously performed.
Butthurt Anti-SJW: Look kid, no one gives a shit about Institutional Racism, it's just a pathetic excuse made by leftists to justify themselves so that everyone is racist except for them
*interrupts flame war*
Rational Sociology Student: *clears throat* 1) If you look it up on urban dictionary, Institutional Racism actually refers to the discriminatory racial practices that are rooted into political or educational systems 2) Institutional Racism is often unconsciously performed by the actor hence people get confused when others call them racist And 3) FYI the term is not used by leftists but by academics in the social sciences to help examine the causes of racism and its historical roots.
Butthurt Anti-SJW: Aw look at this pseudo-intellectual trying to sound smart, i bet that definition has so many dislikes on urbandictionary lmfao
Rational Sociology Student: Would you care to attack me with more of your silly little ad homs, or would you be willing to deflect what I had just said with your clear academic peer-reviewed proof?
*No answer*
Rational Sociology Student: Yeah that's what I thought, gg get rekt skrub
Butthurt SJW: Yeah gotem good there
Rational Sociology Student: Shut up you're just as misinformed as the Anti-SJW

Get the nvm mug.A single point in time that serves as a reference point to indicate a significant shift in popular culture. The point in time often refers to a specific real-world event that is tremendously influential, so much so that it profoundly affects and reshapes popular and mainstream culture. Usually, a cultural reset is promptly followed by a new Zeitgeist (which means "the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs").
Trump winning the 2016 election is a clear-cut example of a cultural reset. After this point in time, pop culture became increasingly more fixated on politics and social justice. Internet memes went through a complete terrible overhaul. Pop music began to shift from inspirational to silly frivolous tunes (both musically and lyrically). And people have started adopting a more critical view towards what they read on the news.

Get the Kijiji mug.To be back on one's bullshit is to regress to a former state of being, often a rather unhealthy and self-destructive state. It implies falling back into one's old ways and habits after a brief period of "self-reinvention".
Being back on one's bullshit is not necessarily a bad thing per se. Perhaps that person had come to terms with their quirks, absurdities, and insatiable/irrational desires. No longer do they try to repress those self-destructing behaviours and compulsions in hopes of becoming better, because they know that one day they will eventually give in; they can run but they can't hide from their true sordid selves. In other words, they continue to seek self-improvement and strive towards self-mastery, but they don't try to repress their former bullshit. Besides, that bullshit defines you and who you are and you can't feel like "you" without it.

Jennie: Jimmy wth?? What's up with those cross-dressing pics you sent me last night, I thought you had already broken out of that paraphilia of yours
Jimmy: Well what can I say, I'm back on my bullshit, and I don't intend on hiding it anymore.

Get the Back on my bullshit mug.Wet And Messy is type of sexual kink & fetish that has been around for quite a while (a while in my POV is two decades).
Basically the premise is that some people find it erotic when girls cover themselves or play with certain substances that have satisfying tactile properties. For me, it's anything with a thick, viscous or slimy consistency, such as honey, liquid soap or detergent, simulated mucus, nuru gel, or slime itself. This kink is most (in)famous for using food substances, but this is entirely optional (I much prefer non-food substances, with the exception being confectionary stuff like syrup or whipped cream).
This kink can be depicted with or without any additional sexual acts being performed. I personally find it really erotic when the performer wallows and slides around in the substance on a flat surface.
This kink can also be performed by yourself, which I've been doing ever since I discovered it, and it really gets me off.

My journey with Wet And Messy began as a pre-teen when I realized that watching girls sliding around in fucktons of shampoo or laundry detergent was a massive turn on.
