karmic backlash

When things go smoothly for a period of time and you're enjoying life, karma finds its way back to you and fucks things up.

I had the best November but I'm getting karmic backlash and December is turning out to be such a drag.

Blackwash

When an established character is turned black for no reason other than to diversify the cast. It is the opposite of whitewashing, and is normally not ever complained about

Person 1: Why did they have to blackwash Domino in the new Deadpool movie?
Person 2: What, are you saying she can't be black? You're so racist for not giving black actresses a chance
Person 1: it's not about being racist, it's about being accurate, jackass

Blockathon

A defensive strategy used in Cricket where a team defends as many balls as possible until end of play in order to avoid a defeat.

Often used in 5-Day Test Cricket when you trail by a huge margin or when you are in dire straits of losing the match, employing the strategy of not scoring but trying to spend as much time so you can get to the end of the day-five without a result. A draw is always better than a loss in Cricket.

With the 'blockathon' being the need of the hour for the Proteas, De Villiers took 33 balls to score his first run.

South Africa attempt to salvage extraordinary draw with blockathon

blackwashing

Blackwashing is a term used when a person deliberately changes a (usually) white character, or person, to be included in the black race, as, to (in most cases) show more representation of the black community.

It is NOT okay to commit to blackwashing for more representation or any other reason. Blackwashing is just as bad as whitewashing. You are changing a character's ethnicity for YOUR OWN liking. It is unfair and showing the person needs to be in your community to be good. Please leave peoples' skins alone; they are perfect the way they ARE.

POC person: "We have the right to be blackwashing, it shows more of us."

Another POC person: "I am POC but believe that is unfair. We should not change someone's skin colour for any case."

study backlash

That headache you get after the exam when you suddenly stop cramming and your brain just melts to mush.

I had study backlash after cramming at the last minute for my sex ed test.
I got all the answers wrong anyway, making all that cramming a huge waste of time.
