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?

Get the The Mopacalypse mug.Salsa that carries barely any heat, typically sold by most Mexican restaurants to white people who can’t handle spicy food. A play on words- the two most common kinds of salsa are salsa verde and salsa rojo, so with salsa blanco, they make up the three colors of the Mexican flag.
As much as I love the taco truck near my workplace, I wish they’d give me actual salsa instead of this uninspired salsa blanco stuff. I can handle the head, dammit.

Alice: ¿A donde trabajas, Bob? (Where do you work, Bob?)
Bob: Yo trabajo en un tienda de… bookos. (I work at a bookstore- forgetting the word for books and using Guesspañol instead)

Get the Guesspañol mug.Someone who, at one point, had sexual/romantic desires, but just threw in the towel on dating wholesale, often due to frequent rejection. Hence the name: towelsexual.
Not to be confused with asexuals/aromantics, who never had any sexual/romantic desires to begin with. Or incels, whose failures at romance stem from a boring life and lead to abject hatred towards the other gender.
The towelsexual pride flag is, well, just a towel. What did you expect? We gave up trying to design one, too.

I was straight at one point, but after 15 women in a row said no, I threw in the towel and came out as towelsexual.

Wow, I did nothing but grind on schoolwork from August to December. My last two brain cells are going to play some Minecraft.
My last two brain cells are running on Chicken McNuggets for breakfast and 3 hours of sleep, so I probably won’t be able to finish the report by the deadline.
My boss whines every day about how lazy I am, even though I work 80 hours a week. My last two brain cells are not cut out for this shit.
