Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to rapidly make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it to a large enough amount to study in detail. It also is the bane of every biochemistry student's existence.
Professor: Alright, now time to check the process. How's the PCR coming along?
Graduate Student: I had the undergrad handle it this time
Professor: Oh, good! How's that going?
Undergrad: uhhh..... I forgot to anneal
Graduate: YOU FORGOT WHAT!?

Ask for none, and you shall recieve all.
In other words, if someone explicitly says they don't like something or don't want to see something, that's all they'll see for an extended period of time. Examples include the Harambe meme, Ligma, and Philip Defranco being called "daddy".

YouTube commenter 1: Here's 10 dollars for you, daddy
Philip Defranco: Thanks, but please don't call me "daddy".

Another commenter: Phil, you broke rule 0 of the internet. What have you done?

Similar to weaboos/koreaboos/sinophiles, but for Indian culture.
They fetishize Indian culture and tend to simplify it down to very few traits. Many curryphiles will obsess over Bollywood, Indian food, yoga, and might dabble in veganism or vegetarianism.
This can often be an outcome of visiting India for the first time and claiming to have a "spiritual awakening".

Jenny: Namaste, Karina! I visited India for the first time on a mission trip, and It was so amazing! The food was so good, I met all of these cute kids, and I'm definitely going to go back!
Karina: Jenny, why are you wearing a bindi?
Jenny: Oh, I just thought it was really pretty. Guess what? I decided I'd go vegan after my time in Hyderabad. I also signed up for a yoga class. Ahhh it's so cool! All of it!
Karina (under her breath): she's become a curryphile after a single trip...

A style of wushu involving the manipulation of a gun, which is a bamboo staff about one arm's length taller than the user. The style involves manipulating the staff in broad motions, meaning it requires a large amount of space, keen spatial awareness, and an even greater control over the weapon, as opposed to a sword.
While anyone can approach this style, it is ideal for someone who is tall and with a lean build. Power and flexibility are integral to this style.
When doing gunshu in competition, low stances, high jumps, sharp timing, and clearly defined moves get the best scores.

Student: I've completed the elementary longfist form. Can I start studying a weapon now?
Master: It seems that you are ready. Because you are tall and thin. Gunshu will suit you well.
