Boo Basket

a trend on TikTok where people (usually young women) purchase an assortment of cozy items and put them in a basket, these baskets are typically themed around a season or aesthetic, namely fall, hence the name "boo basket", but not all of them are fall-related. This trend seems to capitalize on the "overconsumption-core" trend on TikTok, where creators will buy excessive amount of items, usually beauty or bath products, and make an aesthetically pleasing video displaying the often alarmingly sized collections of said items, neatly arranged and color-coded. Essentially, it's just another iteration of people buying cutesy items they don't really need for clicks.

Banana Republican

The term "banana republic" refers to a country dominated by corporate interests, in which income disparity between rich and poor is extremely high, to the point that the middle class has just about disappeared, and aside from the fantastically wealthy few, practically everyone is dirt poor.

A Banana Republican is a Republican who wants to lower taxes for the rich, leading to increased income disparity and bringing the USA closer to banana republic status.

The GOP is full of Banana Republicans these days.
