Darwin Formal is a semi-formal dress code for evening events held in the Northern Territory, Australia, originating in Territorian conventions for attire in the 19th century. The dress code is by its principal element, which is no flip flops (or thongs, as they are referred to as in Australia).
Is Michael Caine wearing Darwin Formal? While he is wearing a polyester tie, his boat shoes mean he is indeed wearing Darwin Formal.

Get the Darwinmug. The power of money, or its lack, to determine who gets to reproduce. Whereas in the past this was decided perhaps by physical toughness, ingenuity and resourcefulness in surviving, modern society has coldbloodedly decided who gets to reproduce by separating us by those who can afford to and those who cannot. A possible synonym would be late stage capitalism. One solution is throwing oneself on the mercy of the government, risking social disrespect in the process.
Guy: Hey friend, why no kids?
Friend: Couldn't afford it. It's not mine or God's fault. It was financial darwinism.

 Get the Charles Darwinmug.
Get the Charles Darwinmug. A person lacking any reservations about doing incredibly stupid things which could lead to their demise. Almost as if natural evolution had removed self preservation from this person's thought processes. Juggling loaded guns or making the same breakfast everyday for a serial killer who gets tired of routine things. There is a level of certainty to which this person will eventually succeed in creatively thinning the gene pool for specie, for the better. Hopefully, before they have a chance to procreate thus creating another generation of Darwin Candidates.
Dave: "Hey guys, I have a great idea! Let's all go on a moped, outdoor camping safari in Africa.
Tom: "Don't you think that is a little dangerous?
Dave: "Nah, I have .22 calibur handgun if anything goes wrong.
Tom: "Dave, have you ever heard of a Darwin Candidate?"
Dave: "Nope, don't care. I am such a good shot, I can kill anything. ... (10 minute tirade of how he is the best at everything)"
