retro-cultration

Tendency for 3rd-generation immigrants to return to their home-countries' cultural roots as shown in the rise of clanguage and other manifestations of cultural cross-polination.

This trans-border, trans-cultural phenomenon lead many of these multi bi-bi (multicultural, bilingual-bicultural or 'multi-culti'), to a mental illness called 'cultural relativisim'.
For show, Arab Americans (who are nothing but a bunch of Americophobic pseuds!), when they return to the home 'cuntries', they find that they also can't fit their King-of-The-World-sized heads in a small place where people are still looking for the NBH (Next Bowl of Hummus)!
The main product of this retro-cultration is the 'Nowherian': one who's trying to return to his/her forefathers' country, only to find that they don't fit in there.

Retrogade

Retrogade is a poor man's Newgrounds and is a photoshop based site. Retrogade features odd rules, like the "No voting in extremes" rule, "Retroins", the offical currency of Retrogade, and the "Moderator Elections"

It features a Message Board much like Newgrounds, and also has a "Photoshop Portal", which seems to be a play on words from the "Flash Portal" of Newgrounds.

Retrogade is pretty much the same thing as Newgrounds, except there's less people, and still pictures.
"Hey, I've deposited my experience for Newgrounds, reviewed some flashes, and posted on the BBS. Finally I can get some rest."
"But wait, have you deposited your experience for Retrogade, reviewed some photoshops, and posted on the Message Board there?"
