Get the Bite of 87 mug.Tom was having a mid-life crisis so he bought himself a Tesla Model X to show off to his friends and family

Get the Tesla Model X mug.1) One of the main antagonists of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, who is a daycare attendant animatronic at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. It is the alter-ego of Sundrop when the lights are off. Legit has the creepiest voice ever.
2) A very exquisite earphone brand based in China. Moondrop has gained recent popularity in the audiophile community for its budget and premium offerings. All Moondrop earphones have amazing true-to-life sound quality that you won't find anywhere in the mainstream market. It is also interesting to note that their earphones come inside an anime-themed packaging, which adds to the uniqueness.

1) *lights turn off*
Sundrop: NO! Why would you do that? Lights on, lights on! I warned you- I WARNED YOU!
Moondrop: BAD CHILDREN MUST BE PUNISHED
Gregory: monkaS
2) Greg: Hey I'm looking to buy some new wired earphones, what are some good options?
Fred: You should check out the ones from Moondrop. I recommend the Moondrop Aria as an affordable option. Or if you wanna go high-end, then get the Blessing 2 Dusk. They are great if you want a balanced neutral sound.
Greg: Cool thanks!

Get the Moondrop mug.Drop can mean a lot of things. However in much recent times it's been increasingly used by businesses and corporations to denote a limited-time merch/product that has been released to the public. It often implies that individuals have a very short amount of time to buy the "drop" before it vanishes forever. It is presumed that drops serve as a sort "hype-generating" mechanism to create excitement and anticipation amongst its customer base and thus solidating the bond between the customer and the brand, which is typical as such with crafty modern business tactics. The term also may or may not have to do with the tech merch website drop.com (which AFAIK uses the denoted term way before most other businesses have picked up the term).
You know this term has reached mainstream status when even giant corporations like McDonald's have begun using it.

Dude 1: YOOO I just scored one of Adidas' latest Drops!!
Dude 2: Congrats man! I'd sell it if I were you, you'd probably make a ton of profit from that.
Dude 1: Good idea honestly, I might consider that.
Dude 2: Also, since when did "drop" ever become a thing? I mean, limited-time merch isn't a new thing, but it seems that this has become a standard business model term that more and more corporations are picking up. Even McDonald's started releasing "drops", which I guess was just some limited-time burger, did you hear?
Dude 1: Nah I didn't but that's crazy

Get the Drop mug.What Farid said below. I would assume le sserafim has read Nassim Taleb, because that is where this term originated from.
The concept of antifragility uses examples from science and mathematics to argue that some systems are strengthened by encounters with disorder. It is an interesting concept that basically says you can thrive in a system of disorder, randomness, or stress. Antifragility goes beyond mere resilience (the ability to bounce back from adversity) in that it embraces and gains from uncertainty. Decentralization, diversity, experimentation and innovation are characteristics of antifragile systems as they allow continuous improvement and new learning from disruptions.
Say you got laid off. You could view that as a chance to not only bounce back (find a new job), but also as a chance to expose yourself to better job or career opportunities, as well as anything that could improve your wellbeing. Basically, it's the "improvise, adapt, overcome" meme.
The hacker group Anonymous is also an incredibly good example of antifragility. No matter how hard governments and law enforcers try to destroy the organization, it will never cease to die due to how it's structured.

While most portfolios crumbled during the stock market crash, Dave's grew in value thanks to its antifragile properties. By diversifying across asset classes instead of focusing on any one sector, his portfolio benefited from the volatility instead of breaking under the pressure.

Get the Char mug.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.
