Colonist Shuffle

A dance performed in Heathrow Airport when first time American visitors to the UK encounter a local pedestrian head-on. The locals try to pass on the left while the tourist tries to pass on the right resulting in a zig-zagging synchronized jig for a few seconds.

"Man, I was so tired when I got off the plane in London, I did the colonist shuffle three times before I got my UK legs under me."

True colours

True colours is a really nice compliment! You usually say it to people who stand out and show there thoughts and feelings! It can also be an insult. You could say to someone that there true colours are showing or shining through. This means they might be pretending to be nice but inside are not!

Positive way : Emily your true colours are showing!
Thank you Kate
Negative way : Draven your true colours are showing I cannot believe you!
I'm so sorry Kate!

colorism

Racism within members of the same race. For instance, light-skinned African Americans looking down on and discriminating against darker-skinned African Americans.

Colorism is just as harmful as racism perpetrated by whites on blacks.
