victimhood 

Noun. A coveted status sought after by liberals. Victimhood implies that one or more victims are due some form of compensation from one or more offenders. The sought-after compensation is typically economic such as money, jobs, promotions, awards or opportunities such as college admissions. Intangible compensation is often a secondary consideration and usually not directly related to the offense in question, such as the displacement of blame for general achievement failures.

Victimhood Dependency

noun
noun: Victimhood Dependency

Victimhood Dependency, also known as “Woe is Me syndrome,” is in most cases a severe addiction to the attention and exclusive treatment one receives from sympathetic/empathetic interactions from others.

Typically in public settings, especially online settings, a person with Victimhood Dependency will tend to take controversial things about themselves (i.e: race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability) and complain about them in return for interaction from others as well as exclusivity from them.

Cases of Victimhood Dependency can be diagnosable within one conversation for most cases. Worried about a friend? Please read the example below:
In the example, if it’s not obvious enough, the person affected with Victimhood Dependency is Person 1.

Person 1: “Hey, I’ve heard that our high school is having a reunion party next week! Totally dope, right?”

Person 2: “Oh, that IS dope! What day and time?”

Person 1: “It’s so hard being a minority, I really wish things were easier for us.”

Person 2: “I don’t see how…”

Person 1: “Are you denying my VERY REAL discriminative experiences right now?”

Person 3 (Often deemed “Dipshit”): “Yeah, Person 2, you’re an asshole. Person 1, allow me to kiss your feet and encourage your behavior.”

Person 1: “Sweet…”

systemic victimhood 

All of the factors in a social system that that perpetuate, enable, and incentivize the adoption of identities based in victimhood.
"Why are people listing their ailments in their Twitter bios?"

"Oh, it's a great way to rack up intersectional points and climb up a few tiers in the victim hierarchy."

"Why would they want to do that?"

"Because with victimhood comes a whole bunch of perks. If you are a victim, you always have an excuse to fail. You always have a hypothetical oppressor to blame. You are given license to censure anyone who disagrees with you. You receive an abundance of pity. And best of all, you get to envision yourself as the noble underdog struggling in the next big civil rights movement!"

"That sounds pathological."

"That's because it is... and it is all a product of systemic victimhood."

Weaponized Victimhood

When a woman exaggerates or fabricates being wronged to avoid accountability from her man, gain sympathy, or control the narrative among family, friends, or the community, often flipping the situation against him, so she appears as the victim, even when she alone contributed to the issue due to her crazy emotions.
After starting the argument, she turned around, blamed him for everything, and played the victim to win sympathy straight-up weaponized victimhood, like that whole Depp v. Heard trial.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
