Jheri curl-mandering

A redistricting strategy made famous during the period in the late 1980's, when the Democratic Party moved geographic boundaries of an electoral district in California to include predominantly black-populated areas(South Central Los Angeles, Inglewood, Compton) in an effort to concentrate African American voters sporting the popular greasy hairstyle of the day, thus using 'packing' tactics to insure a constituency that would elect congressional representatives who also sported the couch-ruining do. The term for this strategy remained unnamed for nearly 30 years until comedian Adam Carolla coined it on his podcast, “The Adam Carolla Show”(Episode aired November 3, 2015.).
Congresswoman Maxine Waters may believe the science is still out on the morning after pill but she's definitely a student of the science of Jheri curl-mandering. Tracking sales of Soul Glo in order to target the perfect constituency was a flash of genius on the Democratic Party's part.

3 Piu Mandaments

The mandaments of a portuguese university's professor
1st Mandament: Piu;
2nd Piu: Piu;
Piu piu: Piu;

When using Piu in a conversation:
- You automatically "win" the situation:

1) Reflects the argument, if the conversation is to continue

2) Ends the argument with no possible comeback
3) Or it can be used as a short version of "that's what you get"

Obs: Piu is known as bird's noise
When using the 3 Piu Mandaments, there's no requirements, you just need to say "Piu" that's the whole foundation

1) Person 1: You're a dick!

Person 2: Piu

(Now Person 1 is the dick)

2) Same as 1) but Person 1 isn't the dick because Person 2 just doesn't care

3) Person 1: Ah s*** I didn't deliver the project on time

Person 2: Ohhh, piu.
