Gestpacho

The Gestpacho is a group of Australian federal government ministers, politicians, and their bureaucrats, who are attempting to list many exotic and native Australian garden plants as illegal to own, propagate, sell, trade, process and/or otherwise possess.

The term literally translates as 'Soup Nazi' and is a portmanteau constructed of the roots 'Gestapo' and 'gazpacho'. It is intended to reflect the current bureaucratic and government obsession in Australia with banning plants that contain chemicals that have possible psychotropic effects, or that contain chemical related to those that have possible psychotropic effects. Many of the plants that are being targeted for banning are members of the nightshade family, which includes potatoes and tomatoes, and of course tomatoes are the principle ingredient in the cold soup called gazpacho.

Granny Maria Smith was very proud of her garden full of delightfully-smelling angels' trumpets and acacias, but at the stroke of a pen she stood to be a criminal, in the eyes of the Australian government's Gestpacho, simply for growing these plants.

gang gestures

This is a type of sign language that gangs of juvenile delinquents use as a type of secret communication. Comes from all of those years of spearing things in the jungles and communicating with other spear hunters. (Wait, that requires intelligence). Anyway, it is impossible not to laugh at at, because it looks so hilarious.

"I just make up my own gang gestures when I see those crime-monkeys gesturing at me. They think I'm nuts that way."

don't care (hand gesture)

The Don't Care hand gesture consists of the sweep of the right arm with an open palm, followed by the abrupt closing of the hand in front of the face, at this point, you yell out "Don't Care". It is symbolizes shutting a cell-phone and neglecting to answer a phone call from an unwanted caller.

Example:

At a large party, Amanda looks at her phone. It is from Ashley, a friend she is avoiding all night. She opens it, waves it front of her, shuts it, and yells "Don't Care." The room erupts in laughter. Thus, completing the don't care (hand gesture).

gestalt prayer

A 56-word statement, originally written by psychotherapist Fritz Perls, that serves as a way of life model for many who live or seek to live outside the influence of the status quo. The "prayer" has since become synonymous with individualism and peaceful rebellion. It gets its name from a specialized form of therapy called Gestalt Therapy, a brand of therapy which Dr. Perls helped to create.

The "prayer" can be found below:

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
