somalification

Abandonment and deterioration of once thriving cities and civilizations, as warlords, drug lords and warring factions tear them apart. The definition is based on the example of modern Somalia as an impoverished, refugee-abandoned African nation without a working government and ruled by anarchy.

A description of the process destroying San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore and other major blue-run cities in the US.

Person 1: Did you see the San Fran "Poop" app, this morning? Yeah, The whole Tenderloin district is shaded brown!

Person 2: The Somalification of Bagdad by the Bay; predictable. such a sad fate for a once beautiful city.

robovid

Synthetic A.I. video on YouTube or a similar platform. Click-bait content from a low-budget offshore company designed to suck viewers in and keep them long enough for the producer to receive revenue generating "views".

Script material sounds like a bad translation from another language with no logical beginning, middle or end. Words are mispronounced in different ways, dialogue is both vague and thoughts expressed feel random and illogical. Information factually incorrect, thoughts piecemeal, video images that have nothing to do with the script material. Likely lifted without permission and mirror-reversed or altered for copyright protection. While the narrator's pronunciation and emphasis seems mostly professional, the delivery sounds stilted and awkward.

Person 1: "That made no sense...I thought this was supposed to be a history of New Wave music, but nothing this guy is saying is true!"

Person 2: Robovid.

Person 1: Oh yea, I should have figured it out when he said, "da-peachy-mod" instead of "Depeche Mode."
