Get the Tismmug. The term used by Polytechnic students in Singapore to define the loud, obnoxious, shameless, and boldness actions and mannerisms of Republic Polytechnic (RP) students.
Whilst usually used in a negative way, it can sometimes also be used to refer to the pro-activeness and braveness that most Republic Polytechnic (RP) students have as compared to other Polytechnic students.
Whilst the reason behind this trait being common amongst most if not all Republic Polytechnic (RP) students remains unconfirmed, many think that this trait derives from Republic Polytechnic's (RP) unique curriculum as compared to other Polytechnics in Singapore, where it is not out of the ordinary to have 1 or 2 presentations every single lesson, and additionally, because such a big part of the grading component is proactiveness when it comes to self-directed learning and collaborative work.

Student 1: "Dude, did that guy just yell at his friend to not vape at the top of his lungs in a public space?"
Student 2: "Wow. Imagine the balls it takes to do something that stupid. Isn't he from RP?"
Student 1: "Oh, that explains so much. It's the RP-tism, everybody has it."
or
Lecturer 1: "Wow! I feel like out of all the Polys at this forum, only the RP students were courageous enough to step up and help!"
Lecturer 2: "Don't you know? Their curriculum supports the growth of their brave and driven character! They themselves call it the RP-tism!"

Jon observed Caleb's 'tism tickle' with amusement as he watched him compile an extensive report on Ernest Shackleton's Arctic expedition, knowing it would likely be a different topic by next week.

Get the tism tinglemug. A neurological condition describing the chronic under socialization and emotional irregularities observed in some members of Gen Z, often attributed to excessive use of Discord, Tik Tok, or from mindlessly watching YouTube brain rot content on an iPad during formative years. First coined by Greg Tish on The Greg Tish Show at Tallahassee Talk Radio 93.3 FM.
Mom: Son you've been home all day; don't you have any friends from school or work you can hang out with?
Son: All of my friends are on discord and not in America. I'm not sure how to go about forming interpersonal relationships since all my friends are from the internet.
Mom: oh no! My son has Z-tism!
Bob: Wow is that Darth Vader?! That's the guy from Fortnite!
Sally: No Bob! Darth Vader is not from Fortnite! Your error in media literacy stems from a larger issue of not broadening your horizons by watching classics such as Star Wars. Instead, you left your knowledge of pop culture up to YouTube autoplay and are only being shown brain rot content pushed by the algorithm such as Cocomelon and MrBeast. I'm afraid Bob this is a classic example of Z-tism!
