Critical Race Theory

The most misunderstood theory in history.

This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.

In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.

If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.

Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Critical Race Theory is a bunch of BS"
๐— ๐—ฒ: "No, it's not. Either you misunderstood the theory, or you haven't grasped the underlying philosophy behind it."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "I don't think I'd care enough to learn about it."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "If you don't wish to know more about it, that's fine, just admit you were wrong."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Okay SJW."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "Look bro, I'm just being pedantic. Call me a nerd, a know-it-all, but I ain't got nothing to do with SJWs. In fact I'll happily listen to critiques against CRT."

Sirius XM

Some wack music streaming service also dubbed "radio" that caters mainly towards middle-aged conservative Americans (i.e. none of those reading this definition).

I've noticed that many companies like to give away free Sirius XM subscriptions in exchange for trying out their products/services. But unless you're into classic rock or sports, it's worth absolutely nothing for those that fall outside its main demographic. Don't even think about trying it. Just use Spotify or TIDAL.
Friend 1: Hey I bought a PS5 and they gave me 3 months of Sirius XM for free, you want it?
Friend 2: Ew no, that's like Spotify but for boomers

Dementia

The best response to anything and everything that seems unhealthy, including laziness/sedentary lifestyle.
Person 1: Omg you gotta try out this freakshake!! They put a whole ass cake on your shake!!
Person 2: Uhh no thanks, that sounds like a recipe for diabetes, and dementia.

Guy 1: Hey man wanna chill at my place and get stoned af?

Guy 2: Nah I'll pass, I don't wanna raise my risk of dementia

User 1: Do you play league?

User 2: Does it look like I want dementia?

Tik Tok

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy (Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door; I'm gonna hit this city (Let's go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back

I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CD's
Rollin' up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now the dudes are lining up 'cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

I'm talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys tried to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk

Now, now, we goin' till they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Sex appeal

The properties and characteristics of an individual that one regards as sexually stimulating. Differs wildly between guys and girls, and even more so when taking kinks and fetishes into account.
Dude friend 1: Yo check out that hot chick at your 8' o clock
Dude friend 2: Damn that girl's got some insane sex appeal!
Dude friend 1: Hell yeah man, just look at her fine juicy ass!
Dude friend 2: Oh, I was ogling more at her fine legs and sexy feet
Dude friend 1: Mane we've got really some very different tastes..

Dialectic

1) Fancy academic term for the inquiry of truths in an opinion

2) See: Hegelian dialectic, Dialectical materialism, Hegelianism
1) The two exchanged dialectics with regards to the recent statements made by the president.

2) For Hegel, the concrete, the synthesis, the absolute, must always pass through the phase of the negative, in the journey to completion, that is, mediation. Day must always be met with night; either one cannot stay forever. A peaceful kingdom will always be met with a violent revolution. The sun will eventually explode and earth will ultimately become stardust for yet another star and its planetary system. Nothing is stagnant or fixed in the grand scheme of things; its current state is the reflection and outcome of a long chain of events in the past, and is still destined to an endless cycle of renewal. This is the essence of what is popularly called Hegelian dialectics.
