A person who appears normal on the outside—sometimes even charming—but beneath the surface is emotionally decayed, morally bankrupt, and entirely hollow. Often manipulative, selfish, and abusive, they wear the appearance of humanity but lack all the qualities that make someone truly human: empathy, accountability, and emotional depth.

Used to describe:

Narcissists

Emotional abusers

Pathological liars

People who destroy others while playing the victim
“He’ll smile in your face, cry on command, and then destroy your life while blaming you for bleeding. Classic rotting core in a human costume.”

“She acted like a supportive friend until the moment I crumbled—then used every secret I ever shared against me. That’s not a person. That’s a rotting core in a human costume.”

“He says all the right words about mental health and healing, but he doesn’t believe in either—he just wants control. He’s nothing but a rotting core in a human costume.”

"He volunteers at a soup kitchen, cheats on his wife, lies to his kids, and hasn’t worked in years—but still walks around like he’s the second coming. He’s not a man. He’s a rotting core in a human costume."

Whiskey and Coke Costume

A costume choice made popular by the swinging community in the late 90’s. The couple who arrives wearing this is meant to indicate to other swinging couples that their preference in the bedroom is anal sex.

There are several variations of this costume since the 90’s, including Jack & Coke, Jack & Ginger, Whiskey & Cola.
