Open Individualism

The idea that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. It's contrasted with Closed Individualism and Empty Individualism, 2 other philosophies of personal identity. Closed Individualism is the standard common sense view of identity where "you" start existing when you're born, and stop existing when you die. "You" are essentially a line or line segment existing throughout time. Empty Individualism is the idea that you only exist for a single moment. Every moment you die, and a new consciousness arises in your body to take its place, thinking they're you. Buddhists have a similar philosophy called anattā about the existence of the self. Andy Weir's short story The Egg also has similar ideas.
Psychonaut: "I smoked 5-MeO-DMT and realized we are all one. I realized Open Individualism is right when the ego death hit."

Canadian Bottle Opener

Just before you plan having anal sex with your partner, you reach out the window wearing a hockey glove (to protect your hand from the cold) you grab your bottle of Maple Syrup. (all good Canadians keep at least 3 bottles of their favorite Maple Syrup in the snow fridge outside their window) Sticking the top of the bottle of Maple Syrup in their partners Tim Hortons Chocolate Donut Hole, you proceed to empty the entire bottle. At the very last drop you pop the bottle out and in a downward motion making the “O” ring pop the top sound as any great Canadian Lager would do upon opening.
I bet Nancy over last night and gave her a proper Canadian Bottle Opener. It was so loud it almost caused an avalanche out back.

Open Decks

Open decks refer to an event or a setup where DJs can sign up for a slot to play their music without having to go through a formal booking process. These events are usually organized by clubs, bars, or other venues to provide a platform for aspiring DJs or even experienced ones to showcase their skills and music selections to an audience.

Open decks can be a great way for emerging DJs to network, gain experience performing in front of a live audience, and receive feedback on their sets. It's also a chance for audiences to discover new talent and enjoy a variety of music styles throughout the event.

Typically, open decks events are structured with designated time slots, and DJs sign up on the spot to secure a slot.

Open Smith

Used to describe a large gaping asshole. Like that of Jada Smith when fucking Jaden Smith's friends while Will Smith watches.
Jada gave Will another Open Smith this weekend, and he loved it.
