Boxxing

Oversimplified political thought that revolves around putting people into arbitrary “boxes” based on perceived political identity, rather than trying to understand each individual’s personal beliefs.

Spelled with 2 x’s to help distinguish “boxing” (left hook, right hook) from “boxxing” (left wing, right wing). First appeared in an Alex Hexagon video.
An example of “boxxing”:

Shepherd believes that men and women have unique abilities and personality traits from birth, and that while both are of equal value, gender roles in society should reflect these differences rather than trying to force men to be women or vice versa. He goes into the “conservative” box.

Andrew believes that women offer nothing of value to men other than sexual gratification, and that men should never invite them into their lives. He goes into the “conservative” box despite having absolutely nothing in common with Shepherd.

Marianne, a self-identified progressive, boxxes the two together and cannot see the difference between the two, despite there being nothing but difference. If you want to be able to have debates with people, you need to learn to think outside the box.

Terminally Offline

The opposite of terminally online. It means someone who spends little to no time on the internet, typically because they have better things to do.
Turner is terminally offline. He has never used Reddit or TikTok before, doesn’t know what skibidi toilet is, has a healthy set of hobbies, is happily married, and is active in the church.

Aerith-Hinawa Principle

The Aerith-Hinawa Principle states that in a video game where you’re allowed to pick names for your characters, you should never name them after your loved ones. Named after two of the most traumatizing character deaths in video game history: Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, and Hinawa from Mother 3. A lot of people named these two after people they loved, and it only made their deaths that much worse.
Lucas: For my first Nuzlocke run, I’m naming all of my Pokémon after my closest friends!

Cloud: Please reconsider. I take it you’re unfamiliar with the Aerith-Hinawa Principle?

Spendzone

A level of Dating Hell deeper than the Friendzone. In the Spendzone, a girl will pretend to be into you so she can convince you to buy her expensive gifts, only to dump you for a richer guy. Then lather, rinse, and repeat.
I spent $3500 on a Gucci purse for my girlfriend, only for her to Spendzone me and run off with some real estate developer in West Austin.
