Colonial spring

A bout of warm, springlike weather toward the end of winter; the opposite of an Indian summer.
I think we ought to dub this period of unseasonably warm weather a 'Colonial spring' because:

1) It wasn't invited and it's not supposed to be here,
2) It seems like a blessing at first, but you suspect a global calamity may be lurking,
3) Its 'gifts' are often laden with nasty surprises like illness and flash flooding, and
4) Things could turn ugly again really quickly, without warning, despite assurances to the contrary.

A hairstyle in which your hair is in a low ponytail. Just like how they wore it in colonial times.

peters colony elementary

one of the best schools you’ll ever go to. Principals aren’t super nice but not mean, and all of the teachers are super nice. It’s also dual which means it’s has English & Spanish classes! It’s a very good school. It’s not cheap either !!
Do you go to peters colony elementary school? Hell yeah I do;)

Colonial girl

i.e. any Gen Z'er or Gen Y'er who espouses the now obsolete & prejudiced views of her parents, grandparents & ancestors, etc. who likely profiteered financially, socially & culturally from colonialism, yet presenting a facade of inclusivity and progressiveness through appropriation, by attending yoga lessons, drinking matcha lattes and eating avocado toast with their parents' money.
The pseudo socialites of London were in their colonial girl eras, organising summer vacations to the hoary and sinister lands of the swarthy skinned uncouth, to bring with them enlightenment...financed by their wealthy fathers...lacking only in manpower from human rights and labour legislation that no longer permitted indentured servitude...

traitorous colonial

a British term for a Canadian or American of English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh descent who came to the future Canada/United States prior to the US War of Independence and never left back home when The United States was formed
when I told someone in an online chatroom the other day that i was a white Canadian male, i was shocked when they called me a traitorous colonial when I'm not even British but white East European.
