kinkeeping

The art of keeping an extended family together relying on direct interaction with loved ones and relations who are distant physically but thought of intermittently.

My mother and her cousin are responsible for the kinkeeping in our family. They began planning our regular five year reunion two weeks after the last one. They expect to greet over sixty people again, maybe more, depending on who gets pregnant.

Jirai Kei

Jirai Kei (地雷系), meaning "landmine-type", is a Japanese slang term used in a derogatory manner to label someone as "ticking time bomb". Just like with a real landmine, they are not recognisable as such until making a wrong step that's triggering an explosion.

Below, the main characteristics of a landmine-type:
- emotional instability
- attention seeker
- easily triggered
- manipulative
- obsessive

Since 2020, the term has also become the name of a stereotype and character trope along the lines of "yandere", which attributes the previously mentioned traits to girls who wear dark alternative fashion styles.

"There are many girls who might look Jirai Kei at first glance, but in truth that's just stereotyping them as a real landmine isn't visible."

Outlaw country

A style of country popularized in the 60s and 70s as going back to the roots of true country. Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr, Kris Kristofferson, David Allan Coe, and Merle Haggard are some of the most recognizable of the genre.

Person 1: Country sucks, it's nothing but hick shit.

Person 2: Fuck you. Listen to some outlaw country and you'll change your mind.

stealth wealth

Individuals who would be considered extremely wealthy (top .01% of society) from the looks of their bank accounts, but choose to remain understated and quiet about their wealth. It's the ability to live champagne and caviar dreams, but choose to do so in a way that is indiscernible by the public. Commonly found in old monied families and communities.

Blending in with the droves of tourists in the town center, billionaires in Concord, MA drive around in old Volvo estates, wearing ordinary looking, grotesquely expensive clothing. When the discrete elite choose to get away, many take their G650 private jets out of Hanscom Field just down the street, remaining anonymous, and exercising the ultimate in stealth wealth.
