Blue Lives Matter (abbreviated BLM) is a grassroots social movement that aims to empower Smurfs and to eliminate all discriminatory practices against Smurfs. It was established in early 2018 when two Smurfs got jumped by police officers because they were allegedly causing a ruckus on the streets (when in fact they were just singing and dancing). After the incident happened, people took to Twitter to express their animosity against what these police officers did, and thus the #BlueLivesMatter hashtag was born.

Just another one of those "funny" words that "cultured" individuals in the post-2017 meme community like to use. Often combined with panel memes such as Expanding Brain or Tuxedo Winnie the Pooh to enhance the "comedic" effect.

Cancel Culture is an internet phenomenon that has emerged due to the internet's highly dogmatic hivemind mentality, where the opinions and attitudes of the public are harmonized into one giant unanimous blob. The said blob will spontaneously accuse and reprimand anyone who rubs them the wrong way, regardless of the individual's true intention. Often, these indicted individuals aren't even aware that what they said could be viewed in a different light, it's only the people that make it seem that way.

For example, take someone who asked "can marijuana make someone as intoxicated as alcohol" on Reddit. The guy who asked it was simply bored, but the people of Reddit took offense, ambiguously assumed that they're asking to take advantage of girls, and begin exposing all their previous posts to further prove the hivemind's unfounded belief. This right here is Cancel Culture in a nutshell.

Though it's easy to single out the "social justice warriors", do not be mistaken. In reality, anyone can co-opt a cancel culture as long as they share the same dogmatic and hypersensitive attitudes of the majority. In fact, the victims of cancel culture could be anyone who has disobeyed a rule or a policy of a group/affiliation/institution.

Essentially, the gist of cancel culture is about the public (and the individuals representing the public) either making accusations about something/someone they absolutely know nothing about, or overinflating a minor and irrelevant issue.

SJW is an acronym for 'social justice warrior'. It used to have a positive connotation, because social justice is, in and of itself, a good thing, right?

However in more recent times, it's been co-opted by numerous amount of people that the entire rhetoric behind "social justice" has turned wishy-washy. In other words, it's not fresh news. People are getting sick and tired of SJWs who interpret every situation as needing justice, even if it's something as frivolous as a black dude who got a small coffee instead of the large they ordered.

The problem with SJWs in the 21st century isn't their intentions per se (social justice is inherently good), but rather the fact that their constant bickering does absolutely nothing to address or mitigate the REAL inequalities that exist in the world today. And I'm sure that 99% of SJWs have not even had any proper university education in the social sciences, so most of the things they say are coming from their ass. In reality, most SJWs are just on an ego trip, and take to Twitter to brandish their "wokeness".

Also known as international dishwashing machine day (IDM Day), this is where people get together on December 28 to celebrate Josephine Cochrane's invention of the dishwasher in 1886 cause lord knows what sort of society we'd be living in without a dishwasher.

Spritecranberry is a new shock site fad which shares the same baiting principle as many other shock sites (goatse, tubgirl). Occasionally this link will be thrown around inside a comment thread, with many people trying to persuade others into clicking the link in promise of a free sprite cranberry. Those who click on the link will be redirected to a disgusting video of a person cleaning the inside of a dog's anal glands. Gross, but still nowhere near as nasty as the OG goatse.cx.

Fun fact, spritecranberry is the first shock site where the shock material is a YouTube video.

Reddit is a popular social commentary website that houses the largest hive mind (collective conscience) on the internet.

The said hive-mind often loves to find the tiniest bits of "hidden meanings" in people's opinions and use it against them, regardless whether those implications were intentional or not. It is essentially an act of guessing what the opinion giver failed to admit (as if they had any) and calling them out on it.

Most of the time, the hive-mind's guessing game turns out to be plain wrong and the opinion giver is left in a state of astonishment and resentment, as they obviously didn't mean to imply whatever the hive-mind claims they were implying.

This often results in the OP (original poster) to give a grudged reply to the Redditor, clarifying that this is not what they meant to say. If such a reply is disdainful enough, it will warrant more Redditors to come in and defend the hive-mind with more ridiculous accusations (e.g. "you're just trying to cover up that...", "you're failing to see...", etc.). And the hive-mind will do this until the OP gives up from all the downvotes.

While such an interrogative 'tactic' is useful in places such as academic critiquing and obviously police interrogation, on a social commentary website, it is practically useless and quite frankly infuriating. It is doing nothing but gaslighting the opinion giver.
