Amazonian Darwinism

When naive shoppers find out that the least expensive versions of items they find shopping online through Amazon or unregulated/foreign Internet markets aren't the best quality or for use as intended; often ending in broken merchandise, death, or near death experiences.
Buyer: "I bought some cheap jack stands on the internet for 20 bucks, ten seconds after I lowered my car on them they broke, could've killed me!"

Friend: "Damn, that could have been an example of Amazonian Darwinism right there. Almost Harbor Freight level."

financial darwinism

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.

Darwin formal

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.

Charles Darwin

The best scientist (biology being his specialty) ever to exist. He's been dead for approximately a century and a half but manages to upset extremist, ignorant religious fanatics on a daily basis. Aside from Watson and Crick's DNA discovery and the TV serial Breaking Bad, there's never been talent of this magnitude.

On a tragic note, the current occupant in the Oval Office is proving every day that perhaps Darwin's findings were wrong. It's therefore not surprising the aforementioned religious fanatics by and large endorse said occupant.
Charles Darwin revolutionized biology. This makes him well admired but also reviled by people with deep religious feelings.

Darwin

Likes the taste of blood. Gets excited when seeing the red liquid and gets hasty to try it out and see how it tastes. A true adventurer and exotic blood taster.
"I go Darwin when I see that she has her period "
"Damn bro, did you seriously Darwin when you saw her bleed?"
"I faint when I see blood, but he Darwins the moment he sees it"
