Gentrification

When you buy a house that hasn’t been painted in 30 years and finally put some paint on that thing.

All these yuppies are contributing to gentrification in my neighborhood with their mid-century gray tones and turquoise accents.

Gentrification

Gentrification is when businesses and homes are built in shitty, run-down neighbourhoods, which means the people who live there will actually have to work for a living if they want to pay the rent instead of beating up and mugging old ladies.

Hey man, you can't mess with our hood, that's gentrification! Wait, you're leaving? That's white flight, you stupid ass crackkka! Racist!

Reverse Gentrification

When city council displaces renters to house the homeless. Akin to free energy proponents believe that making people homeless will solve homelessness.

Imminent signs of Reverse Gentrification include large encampments of tents and homeless people at parks or other public locations, that move elected officials to buy your rental homes to solve the problem.

Usually results in urban charm to your neighborhood. You can expect frequent visits from police, fire department and other first responders.

Tenant1: We all got notice to vacate and I'm not sure we can stay in the area.
Tenant2: No worries. I hear Reverse Gentrification is helping out folks like us.

Council1: I got a great idea, let's buy homes to shelter homeless!
Council2: Displace people to house people, you mean Reverse Gentrification?
Council1: Yes...And we could harness free energy to pay the utilities!
Council2: Aren't we smart!

gentrificonia

noun. A highly gentrified neighborhood. Typically features an abundance of relatively young, economically successful white people. The beards per capita is elevated compared to most other residential regions. Common features of gentrificonia include the presence of Whole Foods, trendy startups, a perpetually crowded, MacBook infested Starbucks, and a lack of minorities. Other commonplace traits that generate the residents’ unwarranted sense of elevated self worth include the presence of industrial or rustic-inspired cafes, an excessive use of buzzwords, and a surrounding economically disadvantaged, racially diverse city.

Residents of gentrificonia are typically aware of their relative privilege, but disregard it when formulating their often self centered political views. They tend to think highly of themselves compared to less educated people, rural citizens, and conservatives. They are often resented by outside communities.

Examples of gentrificonia include Somerville, Massachusetts, Central East Austin, Texas, and the Bay Area, California.

Rachel: "Perfect, he'll fit right in in gentrificonia"

Centrifuckle force

A substitute for sexual intercourse, but better than old school masturbating. When you swing your gigantic penis at illegal orgasmic speeds, entering orgasm as your penise's momentum causes you to enter full orgasm. Does not require the use of hands, so you can do it while eating and listening to your favourite song. Best do it outside where cleaning is not necessary.

Timmy: "Hey did you just Masturbate?"

Peter:" Nah bro, that's doing it old school."

Timmy: "??"

Peter: " Look, you just swing your dick until it reaches centrifuckle force!"

Timmy: "That sounds messy"

Peter; " No, it actually keeps your hands clean."
