templatize

To take something, usually a piece of communication, and create a template out of it that allows one to replace elements of the communication to change the message. For a banner advertisement, for instance, swapping out headlines or images to communicate something else.

"The client really likes these accolades banners you did. Can we 'templatize' them to accommodate other accolades as they come up?"

My body is a temple

It's a metaphor for saying that one's body is sacred, and so one should treat it well and with respect, as you would to a sacred temple.

The phrase is usually used to justify one's sense of self-respect (dignity), and to express their discontent towards lending their body for other people's gain (or for monetary gains).

Example 1:

Cheeky guy: Hey beautiful, your body is so enticing, you should totally become a model for some magazine 😍
Her: Nah, my body is a temple, I prefer to keep it clean thank you.

Example 2:

Girl friend 1: Hey why are you taking pictures of your feet?
Girl friend 2: Oh it's for only OnlyFans followers, they pay big bucks to see my feet! You should totally join too and we can make cash together!
Girl friend 1: No thanks, my body is a temple.

Template

A fancy word for stealing.

"Great idea Steve, lets move forward on this option and utilize their website design as a template for our own. We can customize it with our own logo and wording to make it better and more edgy. My wife is an artist and she loves that font Papyrus, lets use that"

Stone Temple Pilots

The best damn band to ever walk the planet, but their new shit isn't as good as "Core".

Take time with a wounded hand...
The best song ever.
"Creep"

Tesla Surprise

A sexual move involving a man having sexual intercourse with a woman in the Doggie position, while in the course of rapid penetration the man Tasers the woman in the neck causing her body to convulse and tighten up, increasing the man's pleasure and sexual stamina. The move can be repeated multiple times and can even be included in specific conjuncture with a Houdini Cheesecake.

Sarah was being a real idiot last night so i hit her with a Tesla Surprise and it was awesome.

Tesla Coil

*continued* It's simplest to build one that is one to two feet tall. The simplest one to build is a SGTC. The easiest way to build one is with a transformer, connected in parallel to a spark gap connected in parallel to a capacitor connected in parallel to the primary coil and a secondary coil of about 1200 turns of magnet wire placed inside the primary coil and a topload (it has to be of a shape with no edges, such as a sphere or a toroid--donut shaped) on the secondary. The secondary is then grounded to a copper pipe in the ground. The transformer needs to be at least 7500V 30mA. Yeah, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME unless you know what you are doing or want to electrocute yourself. SGTCs cannot be audio modulated. It can be with an extra part but the noise would be drowned out by the spark gap. If you yell and can still hear yourself, you didn't make the spark gap right. To make sure you get the values right, you can go to JavaTC. It's a free online software for SGTC building. You can download it online. For more details on how to build one, buy or torrent "The Ultimate Construction Guide to Tesla Coils" or something.A slightly harder one that requires previous knowledge on electronics is a SSTC. They aren't as hard as DRSSTCs, but these ones are nice because the arcs are pretty safe to touch without a faraday suit and they are the fun, audio modulated ones.

I like them tesla coils huge.

Templative

Comprised of templates, particularly in a metaphorical sense.

I find that subculture tediously templative; desperately clinging to prefab social masks because they’re terrified of the shrieking void within.
