The Change Dynasty

The Change Dynasty is English-language nomenclature referring to the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2010) in China, which was the nation’s most rapid period of progress and development in 5,000 years of history.

The term is a homage to dynastic imperial eras, i.e. Qing Dynasty, but is not derived from the name of any ruling class, but rather from the dramatic modernization and hyper urbanization that occurred throughout China after the new millennium, reaching its zenith in 2008 before finally slowing down again.

The term "Change Dynasty" is a neologism directly attributable to, and first seen in print in, the book CHINA: Portrait of a People (Tom Carter, 2008), which features in part a series of contrasting photographs of ancient tenements juxtaposed against modern steel-and-glass skyscrapers.
China is currently undergoing one of the most rapid transitions in its long history - The Change Dynasty. Do we embrace advancement or weep for time immemorial?

jingling the change 

Another slang substitute for masturbation.

To "gangsta" it up, you may also say "jinglin'" as opposed to "jingling." The "jingling/jinglin'" is done to one's penis/testicles as they are beat with the force of a hand and "the change" is the semen that is being prepared for launch.

Logic: If a warehouse of semen can be called a sperm bank, then shouldn't the semen technically be called money/"change"? And if one jingles bells, which sounds like "balls," why not say that one can "jingle" balls, "jingle" balls, jingle them "all the way"?
Man: Dude, why are your hands bouncing around in your pockets?
Dude: Man, I'm just jingling the change!
Man: Niiiiice!

Dude: Man, Tila Tequila jingles my change IN PERSON!
Man: No way, Dude!
Dude: Yes way, Man!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
