Colorwashing

In film and TV when historically or canonically white characters are portrayed by people of color for the sake of diversity. This does not fall under the scope of "colorblind casting" because though colorwashing is accepted and even encouraged in the industry, the reverse (casting white people into historically or canonically people of color roles) is extremely frowned upon.

Nutshot

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
