Generally, this is really just a fancy term for an essay. Alternatively, it can be used for an essay that's too good to be called an essay (especially if it's a rather grandiose critique on something).
1) Mom: Why you still up at 4am?
Me: Sorry just gotta finish up my manifesto before it's due tomorrow
2) Calvin wrote a huge manifesto on the relationship between technological determinism & porn addiction and posted it on Reddit, but no one ever paid attention.

For girls this emoji is as innocent as a sweet summer child, but for guys it's a whole different story. And for all the real degenerates out there, it can get used in the most objectionable way possible.
Normal girl A: Look at my new french manicure!!
Normal girl B: Ouuuuu so cute!🥰
Degen girlfriend: *farts in her bf's face*
Degen boyfriend: Ooooooo 🥰

Psuedo-intelligence is intelligence not derived from the understanding of knowledge, but from the wise and clever things that you hear other people say or do. Basically it is a form of social learning where you learn how to come off as seemingly intelligent but not actually so.

You people have it all wrong! The lesser-known definition/concept of ideology (favored by Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Hall etc.) is less about a "visible set of beliefs" and more about the internalization of how one perceives and interacts with their reality. Though somewhat indirectly related, it generally has nothing to do with politics and economic policies.
Ideology is everything under the hood, everything you take for granted without consciously realizing it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that language is an ideology, since it follows a set of grammatical rules that we have to take for granted in order to communicate.
It would also be safe to say that love is an ideology, as loving someone does not take any conscious reasoning. Love is so deep-seated in us that we treat love as an unstoppable force, and not as simply as chemical fluctuations in the brain and body.
Really, anything could be seen as an ideology if we start deconstructing the very foundations of reality.

Me, an intellectual: Man... thinking back, university were the good days, really learned a lot there.
Typical hate-mongering political zealot: Yeah... good days when you were indoctrinated with leftist ideology garbage!
Me, an intellectual: Heh, ideology. You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

It's basically the how-to-guide equivalent of BuzzFeed. The how-to's are often very formulaic and dumbed down, as if anything can be simplified down to 10 short steps. And most of the tips and tricks they give are common sense. They also have some of the most stupid and pointless how-to's which merely serves more as humor than anything. It's all just fast food garbage that's easy to digest but gives little value in return.
Great for skimming the surface, but if you actually want to learn something, WikiHow is the LAST place you'd want to be looking at.

A bee fetish isn't really as simple as it sounds like. It's not just about having an unusually peeked interest in anything regarding bees. Basically it's like an entire religion centered on worshipping bees as one's idol. People who have a bee fetish are/will often become beekeepers. They tend to welcome bees in their homes, and strive to have an entire bee colony in their backyard. Now as dangerous as that sounds, the irony here is that bee fetishists actually want to get stung; in fact, they believe that getting stung is a sign of good luck and good fortune.
Taking that to the next level, there is an annual sacred ceremony that bee fetishists often perform. This involves the process of stripping down butt naked and smearing themselves with honey from head to toe. Next, they find a calm and relaxing place to sit. Finally, to complete the ceremony, one must open an entire crate of bees and let the bees cover every inch of their honey-coated skin, all the while sitting completely motionless. The ceremony usually lasts around one hour, and can often be a VERY pleasurable experience for bee fetishists.
Though anyone can have a bee fetish, women make up the majority of bee fetishists.

Dude 1: Yo so how's everything going with dating Elisabeth? Did you ever get to meet her parents?
Dude 2: Yeah I did, but dude there's something really strange about her family. Literally everything in their home is about bees and beekeeping, in fact even I found a few bees flying in their house!
Dude 1: Damn that's weird
Dude 2: Yeah, and that's not even the weirdest part! One day after sleeping at her house, I woke up and caught Elisabeth in the bathroom covered in bees!!!! She was just sitting there, with a smile on her face... and during that moment I realized that she and her family had a bee fetish. I fucking ran out of there and never talked to her again.
