Backyard Arms Race

A term used to describe the proliferation of backyard play items in a post COVID world- starts with swing sets and basketball hoops. Then come soccer/lacrosse nets and a zip line. As all sides of the neighborhood fence add these items, one neighbor gets the trampoline (aka Mormon Babysitter). Then trampolines everywhere. Winter comes? Backyard skating rinks. The sides build their arsenals until balance is restored. A rink for every kid.

Then the goddamn Smiths at the end of the cul-de-sac get the sports court and the race is BACK ON.
Hey Ned, did you see the Sniths got a new sports court once we all had trampolines? Now my shitty kids are whining again. I guess the backyard arms race is back on.

Platino Master Race

Platino Master Race is similar to the term 'PC Master Race' in which PC gamers refer to PC gaming as superior and use the antonym 'Console Peasants' to distinguish gaming console players. Platino means Platinum and it refers to the Platinum trophy rewards received on the Playstation 3 & Playstation 4 platforms when beating a video games collection of bronze, silver and gold trophies. Platino Master Race refers to the very specific demographic of Trophy Hunters on the Playstation platform. It was first invented by a Youtube celebrity called Arion Evangelist who used the name 'Platino Master Race' for his trophy guides Youtube channel and this later developed onto the 'Platino Master Race' website where platinum trophy guides are taught publicly and free to all. The term is now frequently used on platforms such as Youtube and Twitch to describe Trophy Hunting gaming communities.

Critical Race Theory

A hybrid scholarly/activist approach that seeks to read ‘systemic racism’ into every racial disparity (specifically, those where Black people are at a disadvantage), along with advocacy of policies to redistribute income, wealth, legal rights & privileges, and political power. These are intended to equalize outcomes for Blacks and Whites in relation to those selected disparities.

The main ‘method of inquiry’ employed in CRT is its creative use of language, selective examples, and the redefinition of familiar terms that you thought were well-settled. These serve to catastrophize racial disparities, close down lines of inquiry that may lead to non-racialized explanations, and hence to convey a strong moral compulsion to accept CRT’s redistributive policies.
Only one way to get woke bro - study Critical Race Theory. It’s all the rage in today’s colleges and mainstream media. Even the Army is on it now!

Headless Chicken Race

A group of people working under pressure, frantically, expending a lot of energy without making any real progress. Garrison Keillor describing headless chickens; "without the extra weight, they can really go." Think "deadline set by the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert."
The project was late, so the boss decided to add a dozen people to the team, and it turned into a complete Headless Chicken Race.
