backwash

The filmy, cloudy residue at the bottom of a drink that you get when you pass a drink to someone else. Always seems to be at the bottom, separate from the rest of the drink, like oil and water.
Also a good way to determine if someone has eaten fish or tomatoes recently.
Soph: Can I have my coke back, now?
Tat: Yeah, here you go.
Soph: Is that backwash at the bottom?
Tat: Er...
Soph: You keep it.

(incidentally, if anyone gets a bottle with backwash in the bottom, try refilling it with its original liquid as well, so it's full, then heating the bottle from below. Because it's seperate, I wonder if it behaves like a lava lamp. If anyone wants to try this, feel free to enlighten me.)

Italian Backstache

A rare medical condition in which the sufferer's back is engulfed in a thick, black, musky muff of hair. Usually those afflicted happen to be extremely short and tend to remain virgins well into their forty's. Sometimes affects the torso and genitals, in these cases the condition is referred to as an "Italian Bodystache".
When Tom removed his shirt revealing his Italian Backstache at the community pool, Jefferson grabbed his son and ran fearing a grizzly attack.

Lisa: "Gena, did you hook up with that guy with the green lantern tattoo last night?"
Gena: "I was going to until he took of his shirt. He had a major Italian Bodystache."

metrosexual backlash

phenomenon which occurs when straight women begin to realize that perhaps men who spend more time and money on their hair/skin/clothes than they do, are not exactly what they wanted after all. Mom always said "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!" and damn if she wasn't right!

Phase 1 of the Metrosexual Backlash first results in the "metro" receiving the exact OPPOSITE attention response that he was hoping for. Instead of gaining increased attention from prospective partners, DEcreased attention results due to the inability of said partners to ascertain the orientation of the "metro".

This leads to Phase 2 of the Metrosexual Backlash, an increase in autosexual behavior among, interestingly, both straight women and gay men, both of whom experience frustration at not being able to identify the "metro" as part of their dating pool.

Phase 3 has yet to be clearly identified, but it may include an increase in the frequency of friendships between gay males and straight females as they form alliances dedicated to determining the orientation of "metro" men.
I used to think those pretty metro boys were so hot, but lately I find they're just too much. Damn metro's, bet they weren't counting on the backlash, 'cause I ain't got time to be with a guy who's spending more time getting ready than I am!

blackwashing

1) A process of turning a non-black person ethnically black (usually in anime fandoms)

Doing this to ethnically Asian characters (usually in anime as Asians barely get good media representation) gets rid of Asian representation (yes Asians can get mad at this).
person 1: This person turned this ethnically Asian character ethnically black. This blackwashing fanart is good :o

person 2: Yet it's racist when they turn an ethnically black person Asian 💀

Blackwashing

An example of hypocrisy in modern SJW thought, whereby the moral case made by SJWs against historical whitewashing, is somehow negated when it comes to erasing whiteness from white scripted characters. In a twisted try at remediating past racial injustices against blackness, by plying new ones against "whiteness."

This is done by turning white characters into black characters. Typically the gospelers of such action, shriek madly against the wrongness of such a switch, if it is applied in the form of white washing. But have no problem, indeed think it virtuous in the form of blackwashing.

Example-Turning Mary Jane Watson, "MJ," from the beautiful fair redheaded maiden in the older Spiderman movies, into the vaguely mixed race "MJ" in the new Spiderman movies.
(Blackwashing) In the 2021 release of Dune, fans of the Dune books were pissed but not shocked, to see Paul's love interest Chani, who was depicted by white actress Sean Young in David Lynch's Dune, put forth as a vaguely brown woman, in the form of Zendaya.

blackwashing

The opposite of whitewashing; pretending or otherwise revising the historical fact of a scenario in such a way as to demonize all involved parties and lionize any affected persons in a way that contradicts the reality of the situation.
Many people who want to have "Columbus Day" changed to "Native American Day" are guilty of blackwashing: they pretend Native Americans never lifted a finger against Europeans.
