“Man, Jason was slamming shots of Fireball last night, listening to Kenny Chesney and defending Michael Bay movies. Then today I learned he only eats meat and pasta! We need somebody to step up and perform a cultural Heimlich immediately!”

“She’s literally going to die of poor taste in her 40s, if we can’t get her a cultural heimlich soon”

Cultural Appropriation

A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.

By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.
