Colonial Marine Syndrome [CMS]

A thought process held by many film and game producers and makers, in which they want the new product to be like a prexisting product in the thought that it will make the product sell by principle. This rarely works and almost always kills the product from the start. The term comes from the video game "Aliens: Colonial Marines" in which the producers and makers wanted to make a call of duty game with the alien franchise

J: Hey did you hear about the new monster hunter movie?

L: The, WHAT, Oh man i love that game I wonder what its about
J: The description said it was about a military squad that discover a new world that evil monsters are trying to get to the normal world and take over
L: That honestly just sounds like Pacific rim with a monster hunter coat of paint
J: Oh than its a case of Colonial Marine Syndrome CMS
L: Uh, YEAH

Colonial Wook

A wook but like in colonial times. Often found hanging outside the local tavern bumming pipe tobacco and retelling stories about the fife and drum show from Williamsburg fall 1772.

That colonial wook was selling Virginia snuff for $5 a gram can you believe that shit?

Carpet Colony

A carpet colony is the spontaneous on your carpet that you regularly ejaculated on. It's often crunchy and scratchy to the touch.

I sat on Jim's couch and instantly regretting not wearing shoes. I found his carpet colony.

Colonial Murderer

A killer who dresses as a knight and burns the letter "C" into her victims bodies as a trademark.

Watson: There seems to be a "C" burnt into the victims body, could this be the work of the Colonial murderer?

Sherlock: Brilliant deduction, Watson!

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.

Vernacular colonialism

The process through which black slang and vernacular is co opted to become part of "internet culture". Terms like "simp" "woke" and "lit" that have been used for years in the black community and black Twitter become mainstream, leading white people to think the terms belong to them, ignorant of their origins.

Brian: You seen that Kevin, that kids a simp.
Keisha: Vernacular colonialism, at it again.
