Western Orthodoxy

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs, values, and practices that define mainstream Western civilization's self-understanding—the often-unexamined assumptions that shape what counts as normal, rational, and legitimate in Western societies. Western orthodoxy includes commitments to individualism, democracy, capitalism, human rights, progress, science, and secularism—not as contingent historical developments but as simply "how things should be." It frames Western history as the story of progress toward freedom and reason, non-Western societies as catching up or falling behind, and Western institutions (markets, elections, courts) as the natural models for all societies. Like all orthodoxies, Western orthodoxy serves to provide coherence and identity, but it can also function as ideology—making Western dominance seem natural and inevitable, obscuring violence and exploitation, and delegitimizing alternative ways of organizing society. Understanding Western orthodoxy is essential for recognizing the assumptions that shape global politics, economics, and culture—and for imagining alternatives.

Example: "He assumed that democracy and capitalism were simply the best ways to organize society—not because he'd examined alternatives, but because Western orthodoxy had made them seem like common sense. The orthodoxy was invisible to him because he was inside it."

Western NY Coney Dog

While having sex with a particularly loose woman, you use your hands as a "bun" to take up the extra space.

That chick Racheal was so loose I had to give her the Western NY Coney Dog so we could both feel something.

Western Oregon

Where 90% of Oregonians live. It has the entire Oregon Coast, Portland area, Willamette Valley, and Rogue Valley. It’s what Oregon is known for.

Western Oregon beats Central and Eastern Oregon at everything. It has the coast which is why it’s superior.

I'm glad I live in Western Oregon instead of Central or Eastern Oregon.
