Raul Terra's definitions
A term steeped in the tradition of cringe-inducing humor, synonymous with painfully punny jokes and facepalm-worthy punchlines. "Guano a Guano" takes its inspiration from a pun on the Spanish phrase literally meaning "bat poop to bat poop," humorously interpreted as "bat to bat." This is a play on the English expression "mano a mano", meaning "hand to hand."
At the family reunion, Uncle Bob went full "guano a guano" with his barrage of cheesy jokes, much to the amusement (and discomfort) of his audience.

Get the Guano a Guanomug. The stubborn refusal to give into the ever-growing plague of phone apps, based on an enlightened understanding of their redundant, siloed, and often privacy-invading nature.
Used to describe someone who actively rebels against the tsunami of bloatware, refuses to be another sheep in the herd of app redundancy, and generally believes that smartphones were better when they weren't weighed down by a million "essential" apps.
Note: Appstinate individuals may experience higher levels of battery life, reduced screen time, and a smug sense of superiority when hearing complaints about storage space. Side effects may include missing out on fleeting app trends that nobody remembers after two weeks.

While everyone else was busy downloading the newest fad app, Jenna remained proudly appstinate, recognizing that she didn't need another digital leech sucking her battery and personal data.

Get the Appstinatemug. 1. (noun) A unique, somewhat satirical martial art style that combines traditional martial arts techniques with the art of being slightly tipsy. It emphasizes the idea that a mild level of inebriation can make a fighter more unpredictable and therefore more effective. The style includes maneuvers like the "Sloshed Spin Kick" and training often involves moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages to achieve the desired state of tipsiness.
2. (verb) To engage in any activity (not necessarily martial arts) with a slight buzz, believing that it enhances performance.

Get the Taewononmug. 1. (noun) An unofficial, unique holiday celebrated on May 30th each year. Participants go outdoors and shout "Hey!" into the surrounding area, simulating a dog bark but replacing the traditional "woof" with a human "Hey!". This action is not meant to mimic dogs, but rather, serves as a distinctive, playful, and quirky form of human communication.
2. Participants, sometimes referred to as "Hey-barkers", do not simply shout into the wind; they expectantly wait for returning "Heys" from others in the vicinity, creating a sort of call-and-response exchange. The tradition has taken root primarily due to the rise of social media trends, and it has since blossomed into a unique celebration of community, spontaneity, and humor.
Example of usage:
John (barking out from his backyard): "Hey! Hey!"
Neighbor: "What's going on, John?"
John: "Didn't you know? It's National Hey Day! I'm waiting for a returning 'Hey!'"
Neighbor (laughing): "Oh, right! Well, then, Hey! Hey!"

Get the Lutemaizemug. The Tutu Effect: n. The phenomenon of misremembering the Mandela Effect, named after Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who many people falsely remember as being Nelson Mandela. This is often caused by confusing the two prominent South African leaders who were active during the anti-apartheid movement. Can also refer to misremembering details about other events or people that are similar in nature. Additionally, it can also refer to meta-irony, where people recognize that they are having a 'Tutu Effect' moment.
