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 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.'
