Orientalist

Someone, usually Caucasian, but not always, who is very interested in the various cultures of Asia, commonly known as the Orient,
such as languages, writing systems, traditions & architecture.
The orientalist may study to an extreme to amass as much knowledge about Asia as they can.
Some people may call me an Orientalist, but I would refute that assumption.

Orientify

To re-align your life (goals, intentions, desires) in a way that keeps you walking a straight and narrow path. When we get lost, we get lost in three dimensions, and and lose our orientation. It's a modern-day version of a "mandala" used in eastern culture to balance the elements of your life.
I've been hanging with the wrong crowd lately and losing sight of my dreams. Time to orientify.

Oriental Riff

That one rhythm in a lot of media or video games that plays when there is some relation to someone or something that is either japanese or chinese. It will usually play when you are in a video game level where you are fighting an asian character, or it will play when cartoon characters are visiting China. Also, it was used in the song ''Kung Fu Fighting''. And I finally found it after 7 years. It's usually like: ''dun dun dun dun dun dun dun doo''
Me: *Plays fighting game*

My friend: Hey, what's the name of the song that just played?

Me: It's called the ''Oriental Riff''

My friend: Thanks!
