Decolonization

Decolonization is the rematiriation of culture and tradition as well as repatriation of land and sovereignty to Indigenous People

As a settler, decolonization is not an option. However, I can do everything in their power to support the decolonization efforts of Indigenous people by centering the voices, process, and initiatives of Indigenous Nations that invite the settler voice to speak to those that willfully ignore Indigenous voices.

rapid deceleration syndrome

(abbreviated to RDS)

Term for the effects of travelling at great speed and then hitting an immovable object... such as cuts, bruises, broken limbs, paralysis or death.

Originally military slang, but now used by other groups, for example:
Rock climbers: The effects of falling from a great height.
Cyclists: The effects of misjudging a corner and hitting a wall straight on.

Severe Rapid Deceleration Syndrome or SRDS usually refers to death.

"Is Mike out climbing today?"
"No he took a whipper yesterday, and he's at home recovering from a case of rapid deceleration syndrome"

"I need the day off work to go to a friends funeral - he caught a fatal case of RDS while out biking the other day"

Magic Decoder Ring

Google, or another search engine, used in an online situation to keep from looking stupid because you don't know what your buddy is talking about.

Walter was telling me about how to use terminal, and asking me about my LAN. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about, so I used my magic decoder ring and got it all figured out.

- Non, monsieur, désolée.
(No, sir, but in the meantime please feel free to go ahead and fuck yourself.)
