Chauvined 

The action that a dirty cop receives when they are placed behind bars with some of the people they placed there first.

Gibson, when you finally get the jail time you deserve, your jail buddies will make sure you get chauvined in the shower stalls!

Being Chauvined 

Being in a relationship in which your partner becomes controlling and suffocating, and you fear for your safety.

You need to back off. I feel like I’m being chauvined.

Chauvinism 

Committing murder in broad daylight.

Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

Derek Chauvin, in a brazen act of Chauvinism, knelt on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine and a half minutes while Floyd struggled to live, repeatedly gasping I can't breathe, until he died. Chauvin did so in public, as Darnella Frazier, a seventeen-year-old girl, recorded an unflinching video of the episode. Her video went viral, resulting in massive social unrest across America and was the pivotal piece of evidence in securing Chauvin's conviction for murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

Steam-Clavined 

The phenomenon of playing a game on Steam and either getting killed or missing vital information due to Steam blocking out the bottom-right corner of the game to tell you that a friend has logged into a different game. Named for mailman Cliff Clavin from the TV show "Cheers," who often spouted useless, wrong, and/or unwanted trivia to the annoyance of the people around him.

"FUCK, I'm dead! I would've SEEN that landmine if I weren't being Steam-Clavined just then!"

Carbon Chauvinism 

Carbon chauvinism is a relatively new term meant to disparage the assumption that extraterrestrial life will resemble life on Earth. The term was used as early as 1973, when Carl Sagan described it and other human chauvinisms that limit imagination of possible extraterrestrial life.

Scientist 1: "All forms of terrestrial life must be carbon-based."

Scientist 2: "Dude, that's carbon chauvinism...silicone is a possible building block of life. Just look at breast implants."
