Concealism

A style and, arguably, genre of film-making in which real, non-actors are manipulated into becoming part of a fictional, plot. This is similar to the hidden-camera genre of comedy, but different in that the unwitting participants may be aware that they are being filmed - just not fully aware of the true nature of the filming.

Significant examples of cinematic concealism include:
Vampire's Kiss (1988) - some scenes featured Nicolas Cage interacting with real people, unaware that they were being filmed, on the streets of New York
Windy City Heat (2003)
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Bruno (2009)
Under the Skin (2013) - some scenes featured Scarlett Johansson interacted with real people, unaware that they were being filmed, on the streets of Glasgow
Look Who's Back (2015) - some scenes featured a man presenting as Adolf Hitler interacting with members of the general public in front of cameras, mostly assuming they were in some sort of comedy film
Impractical Jokers: The Movie (2020)
Bad Trip (2020)

The phrase originates from the comedy film podcast Diminishing Returns, following a discussion of the work of Sacha Baron Cohen, the film Windy City Heat and the film Vampire's Kiss (where the hosts finally settled on a specific phrase to use for the genre).
Sacha Baron Cohen is a master of cinematic concealism.

Tea Concentrate

The super-strong liquid left at the bottom of your mug after a teabag has been left in your now drunken tea. This usually occurs as a result of failure to completely drink the beverage or dispose of the teabag beforehand.
Trevor: Have you finished drinking that yet?

Bob: Pretty much, do you want this Tea Concentrate?

Trevor: Hell no.

Conjoined Conception

A form of conception widely discredited by western medicine, conjoined conception involves a set of conjoined twins that act as a transportation vessel to stimulate and prepare semen for their journey to the ovum.

The conjoined twins sit between the conceiving couple and light incense to create a fertile space. One of the twins then orally pleasures the male until completion, being sure to collect all the seed in their mouth. They then transmit the collected fluids into the mouth of the other conjoined twin, masterfully delivering every last drop of the payload. Finally, the conjoined twin puts their mouth to the vagina of the future mother and forcefully project the semen into the vagina, completing the rigorous ceremony.
After months of attempting to conceive, Mary asked John if he could ring up his brothers for a conjoined conception.
