Short for Comparison Culture.
A societal phenomenon in which individuals habitually engage in the practice of constantly measuring themselves, their achievements, possessions, and life circumstances against those of others.
This pervasive tendency is fueled by the prevalence of social media, advertising, and the ease of access to others' curated narratives, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy, envy, and anxiety.
CoCult often fosters unrealistic standards of success and happiness, as individuals strive to match or surpass the perceived achievements of their peers, acquaintances, or even celebrities.
This can result in detrimental effects on mental health, self-esteem, and overall well-being, as the relentless pursuit of comparison tends to overshadow one's own accomplishments and unique life journey.

Social media is giving me a big CoCult hangover today -- I need to shut these apps and stop comparing myself to everyone else.

Get the cp coulter mug.Having the quality of a politically reactionary idea, statement or principle, used expressely for the purpose of alienating those whose positions are contrary to the neocon idiot espousing them. Coulteresque statements are inflammatory and/or hateful by nature, and are usually directed at intelligent people whose political views are inconsistent with those of ultra right-wing author and crackpot commentator Ann Coulter and those of her ilk.
As I sat in the redneck bar, my ears were assaulted by one Coulteresque statement after another as two drunken neocon idiots demonstrated their ignorance of politics to the other patrons.

Get the mAnn coulter mug.Nickname: American columnist and broadcaster Monica Crowley, so-called because while espousing many conservative views and opinions in common with Ann Coulter, she tends to avoid making the kind of extremist polemic outbursts which have undermined Coulter's credibility as a journalist.
Publically, Monica Crowley is dismissive of the appellation "Ann Coulter Lite", but privately relishes the turf she has acquired as a result of the more favorable impression she has gained by comparison with the better-known conservative drama queen.
