cultural cross-pollination

A spicy definition attempting to describe the extent to which cultures have influenced each other. Conjured by Gigguk during the 23rd Trash Taste podcast with Mori Calliope as a guest.
I was wondering like, how many cultural cross-pollination there is.

cultural cross-pollination

The way and extent that cultures influence each other. Gained some notoriety on the internet when used by Garnt on episode 23 of the Trash Taste podcast. Note that he didn't invent the term.
There has been some cultural cross-pollination between Japanese anime and western cartoons when it comes to visual styles.

Poklen

Screw all other fucking definitions. This is the right one. Well for all of you know, poklen is a word used in Brunei. People think they're so cool and getting a lot of attention from others. Well think again, you're not cool and it is a disgrace for using such worthless, grammar error and uneducated words.

As I'm saying, most poklens now have invaded facebook and twitter. How to recognize poklens in facebook? Easy, they are using undesirable profile name such like "Doubleonezerosix" "Nineteenzerothree" "thedeathcore" "SiiSayankku" "Tigapuluhribuantahsampai'mana" "Aku Sii Manja", naming a group like "Crowzz'X, " and whatever shits like that so on and forth. And also, they always post their status such as "Like eh my dp gengz" "aku tau aku bida or it means I know i'm ugly" like seriouly kid? If it's ugly, why are you posting it?

Some words that are used in poklen conversations are;

Sayang - sayank
Tu - toh
So - cho
Haha - ahakz
Miss - mishhh
like - loike

And so on. If you're not a poklen, you may recognize them more.

p.s; "Wort" is not a poklen word. "Wort" is an Australian accent.
Human 1: "Hey do you know this guy/girl: insert name Sii'PunaiAyam from facebook?

Human 2: "Oh! That person, he's/she's such a poklen. He/She always type me with the Z's and X's at every end of the letter. Last night he/she texted me "Aku sayank ia tohzz. Ehekzz"

Human 1: "Ew. What a sore lozer. As if he's/she's speaking like russian people with saliva raining in the air, spitting on the face.

Human 2: "I know right, so disgusting. Gonna unfriend him/her. Catch you later!"

poklen

A term used in Brunei Darussalam as a label to citizens(often the younger generations) that tries so hard to be as non-local as possible and fails to look or act proper in their attempt. often identified with poor fashion or naming sense, these "poklens" are often looked down upon.

It can be deduced that the origin of the word stems from the older generation of the local term "puak lain" which literally means other tribe (puak=tribe, lain=other). however due to slang and communication difference( which could be attributed to difficulty in talking due to age) between the older generation and the younger generation its form is slightly altered and merged into one word: "poklen" (Pok=Puak, len=Lain).
Judgmental person: " poklen eh ko ani".
example of olden sentence which could be used by older generations: " jangan tah di tiru poklen (puak lain) atu".

School Yard Polling

The act of inflicting pain to a male by forcing the genitalia to come into contact with a free standing upright object usually a flag pole or car park bollard. This is best achieved by 4 people holding on to each of the victims appendages’ i.e. two arms and two legs and carrying said victim (horizontal to the ground) to the site of punishment. Once at the pole or bollard, the victims legs are then spread apart to the extent that the pole or bollard can be fit between the victims legs and the crotch area can now come into contact with object. Best results are achieved when the victim is lifted off the ground and swung horizontally by the arms and legs so that the crotch is bashed repeatedly against the pole or bollard.

Polling the electorate

To have sex, usually with a stripper.

From season 8, episode 3 of The Simpsons "Separate Vocations" the euphemism is used in regards to Mayor Quimby having sex with a mistress in a motel room.

Later used in season 3, episode 1 of Supernatural "The Magnificent Seven" in reference to Dean Winchester having sex with a stripper or strippers. It does not mean to suck dick, Destiel shippers.
That's mayor Quimby's car. Tonight, his honor is, heh, polling the electorate.
