People who wear the same brand from top to bottom. Especially if they wear one color or a matching set. Could be seen at the gym or on the street.
I really hate sponsored at the gym. They wear the same brand from top to bottom like they are sponsored by the brand.

A video of a man (I think a rival cartel member) laying on the ground with his hands tied behind his back wearing nothing but his underwear and several rival cartel members are standing around him . One of them wearing an Adidas hat cuts his chest open with a hunting knife and his organs start coming out and you can see his lung moving when he breathes . He is pumped with adrenaline to keep him from going into shock or passing out but also so he feels everything . Then the guy with the Adidas hat cuts piece of his heart out and eats it . This video is from Mexico.
Guy 1 : Hey you wanna watch a shock video ?
Guy 2 : You mean like 2 girls 1 cup or 1 man 1 jar ?
Guy : 1 No something very very disturbing .
Guy 2 : What could be more disturbing ?
Guy : 1 You ever watch Sponsored By Adidas.

sponsored content
Ads that have adapted to adblockers, and became "real" stories about saving 15 percent or more on car insurance. Also the 265th episode of South Park.
I just want to watch the news, but then I'm looking at an ad. I try to click the x, but it turns out its a link for the top ten worst celebrity plastic surgeries ever. So as I'm looking through it I get another ad leading to a slideshow on money making hacks even though it isn't even a hack, leading me to another ad, but I just want to know about the presidential campaign, but when I try to go back it turns out its a link to some sponsored content about Geico. And then the cycle repeats.

sponsored IPO
(FINANCE) an initial public offering of stock in a company by a private equity fund that already owns it.
ILLUSTRATION
Suppose we have a company, HCA, that currently a publicly traded corporation. Now, some people with a lot of money arrange to borrow even more money, buy ALL the stock in HCA, and then turn it into a private corporation. All of the shares of stock are withdrawn and the company no longer has to publish its financial data with the SEC.
In theory, the new ownership can totally restructure the management; invest in new assets; divest old assets; retrain staff; or otherwise refurbish HCA so it does its job better and more cheaply. After doing this, it sells the new HCA to the public for much more than it paid for it, and everyone comes out a winner.
In practice, PE fund raids HCA to the tune of $2.5 billion and saddles it with the gigantic finance costs of its own LBO. Investors think they're buying a set percentage of HCA when they buy shares, but they're really just extending the process of vacuuming cash from the pockets of investors.

MIKE: So I hear that KKR and Bain Capital are selling HCA back to the public. A new IPO, huh?
MARGARET: Avoid it. Ordinary IPO's by companies going public for the first time are doing much better.
MIKE: But that's crazy! It's a sponsored IPO! By KKR and Bain Capital! It's got to be good! They'll still own most of HCA afterward, so they'll do what it takes to make sure the price stays high.
MARGARET: No, they don't care what the share price does so long as they get your money out of you. In the meantime, they've looted the company in the most inefficient way possible: using an LBO financed with junk bonds.
MIKE: Ouch, I guess my head is glad I talked to you about it but my heart is a greasy stain in the pavement.

floxi
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
After we broke up, he was floxi to me.
