Pre-parental anxiety

Pre-parental anxiety is what modern day parents worry about when deciding whether to have children or not. Its a composite of anxieties about multiple issues including about societal shifts, climate change and FOMO about regretting not having children later on but not having the option available then.
Male partner: I'm not sure if I want to have kids, there are so many people already in the world today and limited resources. Plus I like enjoying our kid-free time right now.
Female partner: I agree, but if we wait too long and then decide we want them in 10 years, it might be difficult later.
Male partner: Its pre-parental anxiety.

Post Colonial Stockholm Syndrome

When a person of color, an immigrant from outside of Western Europe/North America, or someone who is both, adopts the lifestyle and aspirations of those countries while ignoring the historical contexts of oppression, theft, genocide, human trafficking and the current systemic prejudices built into those societies. The full syndrome is manifested when the afflicted person even defends these choices and, essentially, their current and/or former captors.
Afflicted person: I have everything that I need to integrate into this new world and I've adopted its Nationalist American and Western Eurocentric views
Non-afflicted person: You will never be accepted there and you are only buying into these pervasive ideas without any reflection on how these societies became the giants they are
Afflicted person: But these aspirations, and even my preferences for the type of people I want to date and marry, are my own. I'm choosing of my own free will.
Non-afflicted person: No friend, you are a victim of Post Colonial Stockholm Syndrome

Gimdah

A simple expression of general satisfaction in Orc language (or Orcish) which is often used by Orc children. It is especially common in the Caribbean dialect of Orcish.
Orc parent takes Orc child outside the Orc cave into the great outdoors for the first time.

Orc child: GIMDAH!
Orc parents: How charming, our little orcling has screeched its first word.

This is followed by much guttural sounds and grunting among Orc relatives when news of new word uttered by Orc child is conveyed.
