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.

Social Media Super-Colonies

Social Media Super-Colonies is taken from the Argentine Ants in California that have created a colony which spreads hundreds of miles and contains billions of ants hence the Super part of the phrase.

Ants are the most social insects inviting and joining communities within their colonies. The same way that social media works when going viral.

Social Media Super-Colonies refers to inviting people to connect and join online communities which anyone can be part of, however as with any colony they have a defence barrier when it comes to other colonies.
A prime example would be Apple Inc. Apple have created a Social Media Super-Colonies which have the entire world connected. It also has large competitors which they continually put a defensive barrier up and compete to be the best.

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.
