Cultural Muslim

Someone who loosely adopts the practices of Islam without strictly adhering by them, a phenomenon often seen within second-generation muslims growing up in Western societies. These types tend to view Islamic practices as personal choices rather than a religious obligation.
Fatima holds strong liberal values and chooses to dress freely despite her religious upbringing. However, she still observes the 5 daily prayers, making her a cultural muslim.

Culture Simp

Someone who simps for another culture than their own due to the belief, either conscious or unconscious, that they can take a mental vacation from their own culture this way. Thus a culture simp is by definition messed up in the head. Some culture simps are driven to create theme parks to convince themselves of belonging to another culture, especially when in a grandiose phase. They also like to visit theme parks safely ensconced in their own culture like the center of a Russian nesting doll, but American, of course. Not to be confused with prejudice, which has a chauvinistic flavor.
You know you're a culture simp when you go slumming at Epcot Center.

An important biopsychosocialparalegalphilosophical question to ask is whether all biracial people necessarily have multiple culture simp personalities, definitionally speaking, or are they transcultural?

Only Rachel Dolezal knows whether she's a culture simp; I have no opinion.

I really wish I could visit Ireland again. I love it there so much, I miss the people, food, and everything about it. I'm experiencing cultural depression.

Ring culture

A belief that success in sports can only be measured by championships (members of championship teams are typically awarded rings, which is where the term comes from).

In a season where a team does not win a championship, those who believe in ring culture identify said season as a failure, regardless of how close to a championship said team was.
Fan 1: "I can't believe my team just lost the Super Bowl. I'm not wearing any of my Super Bowl gear ever again. This year was horrible!"
Fan 2: "Ring culture is ruining the experience as fans. Just be happy that your team made it to the biggest stage."

The dress code to the Black Fashion Expo Launch Party is Cultural Formal.

Imagine going to a wedding and seeing someone from India wearing a cultural garb, your action in not questioning their attire is to understand that they are in cultural formal attire.
