Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Derek Chauvin, in a brazen act of Chauvinism, knelt on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine and a half minutes while Floyd struggled to live, repeatedly gasping I can't breathe, until he died. Chauvin did so in public, as Darnella Frazier, a seventeen-year-old girl, recorded an unflinching video of the episode. Her video went viral, resulting in massive social unrest across America and was the pivotal piece of evidence in securing Chauvin's conviction for murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Carbon chauvinism is a relatively new term meant to disparage the assumption that extraterrestrial life will resemble life on Earth. The term was used as early as 1973, when Carl Sagan described it and other human chauvinisms that limit imagination of possible extraterrestrial life.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
