callery pear

(Adjective) Pyrus calleryana: A tree common in China or Vietnam. In the spring, it blooms into bushels of white blossoms. A person may first think that this tree is beautiful, but upon inspection with the nostrils it becomes clear that the trees true intentions are quite rank. The tree will release a foul smell into the air withing a 200 yard radius, destroying previous admirations.

Can be used to describe a relationship or situation, but most commonly a person, that has attractive attributes but when analyzed better turns out to be worse than previously thought.

Person:

That girl is a real callery pear. She's hot, but has a really bad personality. I'd stay away from her.

Relationship:

Me and that guy didn't really turn out well. We both thought that we would be great together, but it just turned out to be a callery pear.

Situation:

(1) We were gonna just make out, but things got a little to far so I had to back out. I didn't want it to end up in a callery pear.
(2) I really wanted to take that class, but the teacher was so bad that it ended up being a callery pear and I transfered out.

category culture

The way that we tend to group people based on their characteristics. It is a dehumanizing thought process and often collectively the origin of conflict. Stereotypes arise when people are put in boxes. Category culture proponents believe that we are all one and the same.

“Mom, is that a man or a woman?”
“Not sure, why?”
“Because I can’t tell.”
“Well it doesn’t really matter, they are human.”

In this example, the mother introduced the idea that category culture is unneeded for the individual to be understood as human.
