rutroh

A cuter more childish way of saying uhoh. Can be said to oneself or to someone else. And usually after getting into trouble or when something has gone wrong.
Also a more mellow way of saying oh noes and inspired by Scooby Doo.

Guy: WTF? who drank all my beers!?
Drunk friends after taking the last sip of beer look sheepishly at one another and one says: rutroh!

retrograde revolution

The theory that history and culture (i.e. fashion, music etc.) repeats itself every couple of decades.

Its plausibility draws from the fact that most parents raise their children with the same ideas that their own parents asserted upon them.

There are many similarities between the war in Iraq today and the Vietnam war .. It's almost like a retrograde revolution.

Hopefully, a retrograde revolution involving the 60s and 70s will begin, and groups will actually start playing some real music.

The comeback of blazers is part of the retrograde revolution.

retro recognition

When you re watch an old tv episode or film and recognise someone who you now know as a famous person/character.

Oh my God it's Oberyn Martell in Buffy the vampire slayer, and he looks so young!

Retro recognition can also be pretty much guaranteed by watchingt any old episode of tales from the crypt.

retrokidding

The act of trying to retract a statement (usually on social media) that makes the author look like a jerk by pretending the statement was a joke the entire time.

Calvin: You are posting your dinner plans in the wrong channel on Slack.
Seven: So "social plans" don't include dinner?
Calvin: Just kidding...

Seven: Everyone, Cal is RetroKidding again...

retroactivism

When a person, often a politician, claims to have been for something progressive their entire career, when in fact, they haven't.

Joe Biden needs to take his retroactivism claim about always supporting women and shove it.
