templatize

To take something, usually a piece of communication, and create a template out of it that allows one to replace elements of the communication to change the message. For a banner advertisement, for instance, swapping out headlines or images to communicate something else.

"The client really likes these accolades banners you did. Can we 'templatize' them to accommodate other accolades as they come up?"

sub-negro temperatures

a temperature or climate that is not conducive or favorable to negro and/or halfrican people. The actual temperature threshold is unknown, although it is commonly believed to be somewhere around 45 degrees fahrenheit (or below).

halfrican/negro: "Dang yo, it feels like sub-negro temperatures out here - I shoulda brought my coat!"

halfrican/negro's friend: "Dude, it's only like 40 degrees out here."

halfrican/negro: "Well, where I'm from we ain't used to no 40 degree weather!"

My body is a temple

It's a metaphor for saying that one's body is sacred, and so one should treat it well and with respect, as you would to a sacred temple.

The phrase is usually used to justify one's sense of self-respect (dignity), and to express their discontent towards lending their body for other people's gain (or for monetary gains).

Example 1:

Cheeky guy: Hey beautiful, your body is so enticing, you should totally become a model for some magazine 😍
Her: Nah, my body is a temple, I prefer to keep it clean thank you.

Example 2:

Girl friend 1: Hey why are you taking pictures of your feet?
Girl friend 2: Oh it's for only OnlyFans followers, they pay big bucks to see my feet! You should totally join too and we can make cash together!
Girl friend 1: No thanks, my body is a temple.

Template

A fancy word for stealing.

"Great idea Steve, lets move forward on this option and utilize their website design as a template for our own. We can customize it with our own logo and wording to make it better and more edgy. My wife is an artist and she loves that font Papyrus, lets use that"

Stone Temple Pilots

The best damn band to ever walk the planet, but their new shit isn't as good as "Core".

Take time with a wounded hand...
The best song ever.

Temperance Spoon

Long handled spoon, usually metal, kept on the person and wielded by an unavailable or prudish woman to deter men from intercourse. In all cases the spoon is brought down hard on the top of the chap's truncheon - very effective at turning wood to putty.

Also commonly found on matrons/teachers touring the boy's dormitories after 'lights out' at boarding schools, to stop any cases of self-love that maybe occuring.

Margaret: "Goodness gracious Reginald put that away before it feels the sting of my temperance spoon."

Templative

Comprised of templates, particularly in a metaphorical sense.

I find that subculture tediously templative; desperately clinging to prefab social masks because they’re terrified of the shrieking void within.
