an expression, thought, idea or behavior that exists or is upheld as a remanant of past colonial beliefs. These are sometimes not concious acts but instead may come as a "slip" into formerly held ideas from the speaker's society.

Heart attack and a hangover 

“Yo I got so fucked up last night on that drink I almost got a heart attack and a hangover”

upstairs vs. downstairs hangover 

Refers to da ratio of how much your "upstairs" hangovers (i.e., "morning after" headaches, nausea, etc.) affect da flabby "hangover" --- i.e., floppily-drooping beer gut --- dat gradually develops "downstairs". Generally speaking it'll be about equal; in other words, da more alcohol you guzzle, da more of an "overhang" you'll get at your waistline.
Seeing other folks afflicted with an "upstairs vs. downstairs hangover" should be ample motivation to not start drinking yourself!
