spirit of the law

An alcoholic beverage that is used to bribe a government official to "cut you some slack" or "look the other way" during an inspection, audit, or investigation.
A classic "spirit of the law" joke, from an old 90's-era "Hagar the Horrible" cartoon:
IRS auditor: Hello, Mr. Horrible; I'm from the IRS, and I'm here to audit your income tax return.
Hagar (calling over his shoulder into the house): Bring me out a bottle of my best wine, Helga!
IRS auditor (making a huge huffy show of shocked indignance): You DARE try to BRIBE ME with a BOTTLE OF WINE?!??
Hagar (with cheerful imperturbability): Make that TWO bottles, Helga!
IRS auditor: (smiles broadly and closes his eyes in smug satisfaction --- hey, HE was no more morally-upstanding than the NEXT corrupt official; he just needed Hagar to "up the ante" a bit to get him to "take a soft approach" in his investigation! :P)

Spirit untamed

Look at that, she made a movie about herself, that's kind of like an artist that paints pictures or murals of themself around a town they're not even from. Despite all the people she tried to make fun of in life by calling them narcissistic, it doesn't get any more narcissistic than that.
Spirit untamed is about you, what did people expect it to be about, somebody else?

Spirit Culture

A culture that only exists in the spirit realm or another dimension, but not necessarily in the mortal world.
'Before the Greek gods called themselves Olympians, in ancient Greek times, they called themselves Etherians, because they were so ethereal and descended from the upper-air, Aether. Etherian was a spirit culture, because it didn't exist in the mortal world, but only in the gods' realm.'

Spirit Bound

A form of subtle cosplay. When the street clothing you choose to wear is in the same vein of a beloved character. The goal is to capture the spirit or essence of the character with common ready to wear fashion. This can include color scheme, pattern, texture or identifying accessories. Only a true fan will identify your passion for a beloved character. This is used in instances when one does not feel comfortable in costume, where full cosplay is not socially acceptable or where there are restrictions on costume wearing; such as Disney. It is similar to Disney Bound and Disney Bounding but is opened to all Media Genre; including, movies, games, and anime.
