Carry the 1

Keep Calm and Carry On

A poster, made in 1939 by the British Ministry of Information to encouage the public to pull through the difficult times in World War II. Although millions of copies were printed, the poster was never really used, and the original designer is unknown.
In 2000 a copy was found in a second-hand bookshop, and, since the copyright had expired, the posters slogan was allowed to be printed on to all kinds of merchandise including copies of the poster, hoodies, mugs, doormats and cusions. As a result, the slogan became very popular and now represents the British attitude to tough and stressful times.
In the recession of the late 2000s, the Keep Calm and Carry On posters gained in popularity, especially among nurses and other professions affected.

As the bombs dropped, the British public sat in their makeshift Anderson shelters, making tea and keeping their spirits high, and continued life as usual.

Carry On My Wayward Son

Greatest song by rock band KANSAS, better than Point of No Return by a longshot. Simple to air guitar to, even easier to sing/improv to. Used in the greatest show on earth, SUPERNATURAL, and regrettably not getting enough attention. Best when sung as a a duet with an amanda, whilst leg-guitaring.
-lunch-
v: Carry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more!
amanda: DU DU, DU DU, DSH!
both: engage in epic leg guitar.

corny

Trying to be cool, but ultimately very uncool indeed, and often even extremely embarrassing
Man, did you see that Manowar show? The way they posed? And all that "Knights of Steel" bullshit? Hell that was corny.

Carry One

Goodbye, peace out, God be with you. Basically salutations of leaving. In an awkward moment of trying to type "Cellar Door" while saying goodbye, The Weav had a hand seizure as per usual. Hence the outcome of Carry One, which has become our new blessing.
"Well, I'm gonna head out guys, I've got some healthy music to write."
"Sweet, Carry One."
"Carry One."

Cordycepted

Being "Cordycepted" is when a person, group, or organization is taken over by outsiders, usually political activists, and their original culture, mission, or goals is replaced with the outsider's political culture, mission, or goals, often self-destructively.

The name comes from the "Zombie ant fungi," Ophiocordyceps, which is a parasitical fungus that infects ants, literally forcing them to go to a high location and become a spore bomb to infect other ants.

The specific tactic when outsiders join a group to do this is called Entryism, and is a hallmark of political activism going back since at least the 60s. See also "Spectrum of Allies Analysis," a specific activist tactic that seeks to push a person, group, or organization "just one tick" in a certain direction, from "active opponent" to "neutral" to "active ally," often from outside the group.

While this is a primarily political or culture war thing, many artists also become cordycepted by fetish communities, particularly those who accept commission work. Artists who find a specific niche of commissioners or fans may find their work shifting to cover this niche near exclusively.
"I used to follow them on twitter but they've been so cordycepted they don't post about their webcomic anymore, they just rant about BLM, Trump, and other political crap."
