Oriental Flower

A grim euphemism referring to the pervasive and often hidden danger of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in various Asian countries, particularly those impacted by the Vietnam and Korean Wars. The term highlights the significant number of dormant landmines and other explosive remnants of war that continue to litter landscapes, posing a severe threat to civilian populations. The "flower" aspect of the phrase alludes to the appearance of certain mine triggers or fuzes that protrude from the ground, bearing a superficial resemblance to a blooming flower, thus deceptively blending into the natural environment. This term underscores the deadly legacy of conflict and the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by these unseen hazards.
"In some parts of Southeast Asia, a walk through the fields can be a real minefield of 'Oriental Flowers,' though thankfully, they rarely have much of a fragrance."

This approach to programming is well-suited for programs that are large, complex and actively updated or maintained.
some examples of object-oriented programming languages are: Java, C#, C++

Orient Lot

A group of older Burnley fans who seem to think that because they were around when Burnley were in the 4th division, they're better fans than modern Burnley fans and that modern Burnley fans shouldn't be allowed to moan about the club.
Oh god, I've angered the Orient Lot by suggesting we should sign a player

Oriental

It simply means Eastern or Asian. It's the opposite of occidental, a geographical term denoting the West, but libtards and other hypersensitive children get offended regardless of how and when you use the term. Be offended. Get over yourself. And if you have an inferiority complex, visit a shrink.
I bought some food from the Oriental aisle at the grocery store. Too bad these idiots lump everyone from Asia together. Oh well, I'm sure glad I have Western values and don't take myself too seriously. Oh, wait a minute, I hate Western values because Western values means white values. But wait a minute, isn't that also lumping everyone from the West together too. O well, never mind the cognitive dissonance coming from my pea brain. Time to complain on social media and earn some victim points.

Politically oriented

What you absolutely shouldn't be when you claim to a US national sport past time.
The MLB right now should drive yourself away and not be arsed about being politically oriented. Rob Manfred the MLB commissioner should worry about his bottom line not the things he's currently upset about.
