"dark ages"-inquiry phone call

Refers to da "shout-out" phone call dat you make to one or more local homes/businesses during a power-outage, to ask if they are without electricity, also ("Are you folks in da Dark Ages, as well?"); this allows you to reliably determine if it is indeed a widespread outage, rather than it's being "just you" (i.e., where you would need to check your home's wiring/fuse-box for unseen faulty connections).
During an unexpected power-outage, most folks will likely be at least marginally patient/understanding if you want to check wif dem about whether their electricity is off, as well, but you should still consider carefully before making said call --- usually you will want to do so only if da current weather is fairly "calm 'n' balmy" and therefore a utilities-outage would not be expected. It is generally understood dat service-wires might be downed if there is heavy snow/wind, and so in these cases your "dark ages"-inquiry phone call might be viewed as somewhat of an unnecessary/frivolous interruption, especially since those other folks will themselves probably be experiencing moderate difficulties/concerns regarding said hiccup in da flow of "angry pixies", and so at da time they may be feverishly scrambling to "batten down da hatches" while waiting for da power to come back on again. Good luck trying to call anyone, though, since nowadays da phone and electricity are no longer such "entirely separate circuits" as they used to be, and so unless it's an extremely small and "localized" outage, your home-phone service will likely be out, also, if da electricity is off. Dat's an instance where mobile phones can be an alternative means of communication, since most cellular-towers have their own "dedicated" power-source dat will remain active even if da "regular" electricity is off.

Dark Marlin

When one person is engaging in the act of fisting another persons asshole, then proceeds to extend their index finger outwards to allow deeper penetration into the receivers asshole.
There is nothing better than giving the girlfriend the old Dark Marlin unexpectedly, especially when i'm wearing my class ring

Darkness

The day a community knows it doesn't need uplifting from an outsider or from anybody is the day the community emerges from darkness. There is no light at the end of a tunnel, as people were promised, but they have to help themselves figure that out on their own.
The community was liberated from the darkness when it knew it would never need uplifting or morale boosting from anyone or anywhere, because people were already happy enough there without assistance.

Dark winter

What might happen if gas prices aren't brought under control soon
To avoid a dark winter remove china and Russia from the un security council, permanently. And voila start producing more energy.

Dark simp

A man that puts himself in a subservient/submissive position under women, but using manipulative tactics in hopes of winning them over, without the female bringing anything to the table.
He's using his dead grandma as an excuse to get this girl's attention. He's a dark Simp.
