The spirit of courage to speak and fight for the underdogs.

This term is coined to honour the late YB Karpal Singh also known as the Tiger of Jelutong's who fought fearlessly to uphold justice in both his legal and political careers.
He was a fearless man. He practised Karpalism in fighting for justice.

Mein Kampf test

An awareness test for social justice bloggers. Before making a post:

1. Replace "straight" / "white" / "male" / "cishet", and the like with equivalent words for minorities targeted by the Nazis (Jews, Gypsies, blacks...).

2. Replace words such as "women", "trans", "lesbian", etc with Nazi-friendly terms (Aryans, Germans, master race...).

3. If the result sounds like Nazi propaganda or something that could be right out of Hitler's Mein Kampf, it it passes the Mein Kampf test.

Example:

Original: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when a women says she hates all men. Hating men isn't "sexism" it's common sense.'

Mein Kampf test: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when an Aryan says she hates all jews. Hating jews isn't "racism" it's common sense.'
If you find yourself passing the Mein Kampf test, you should probably reconsider your social justice blogging habits.

Karpification 

Karpification is the process of mentally scarring a person of your choosing in the means of sending mass amounts of gore, usually via text.
"Hey, did you hear what happened to Keath? He's not his usual annoying self anymore",
"I heard he went through Karpification"

Short for Carpe Diem, the latin for "seize the day". Basically a better way of saying YOLO

Guy 2: Karpz

Guy 1: Fair. See you at the pub

An expletive that can be used much the same as "crap," but is less mainstream. It has the potential to sound like German, prompting many to ask for a repeat and to inquire as to the meaning and root of the word.

Krapf is derived from the American bus company KRAPF Buses. The company's motto is "The only way to go". It is true: The only way to go IS to take a krapf.
Krapf! The toast ALWAYS falls butter-side-down.
