Spirofication 

Share definition Flag
Spirofication is the term applied when popular art is altered to reflect and retain a Spiro aesthetic.

Examples of which could be when lyrics to a song with a rhyme to Spiro are applied, or when characteristics of a Spiro are used in paintings or other forms of art media.

The more common are indeed lyric changes, however, limiting its use is so not a Spiro thing to do.

Spirofication began in Melbourne Australia on commercial radio whereby the name of the host Spiro used to be injected into song lyrics for on air competitions. Spirofication as the game was played by those with an inane knowledge of pop culture references to spread use the name and became a tool in itself used by others to reference this impending phenomenon.

It mainly plays true to rhyming words with Spiro, however, it is the basis and title of a comedy routine by the on air announcer.

The game was invented after the movie Be Kind Rewind and their use of the term Sweding to alter movies (thereby Spirofication was the altering of songs)
Lyrics to turn me on by Nicky Minaj going through Spirofication:

My body needs a Spiro
Come and save me
Something tells me you know how to save me
I've been feeling weird (oh)
Oh, I need you to come and rescue me

Lyrics to Hello by Martin Solveig going through Spirofication:

I could stick around and get along with you, hello.
It doesn't really mean that I'm into you, hello.
You're alright but I'm here, darling, to enjoy the party.
Don't get too excited 'cause that's all you get from me, hey.
Yeah, I think you're cute, but really you should know...I just came to see SPIRO.

spicification

Spicification is the gradual insidious deterioration of traditional American culture into a bilingual country socially overwhelmed by the surge in the country's Hispanic population caused by illegal immigration and vastly higher fertility rates among these people, and by their historically uncivilized, violent ghetto mentality. Associated social problems include increased drug trafficking, nigher homicide rates, more prison overcrowding, and soaring welfare costs of all kinds.
The Southern states like Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California are losing their social fabric because of the spicification occurring within them.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
