gunshu

A style of wushu involving the manipulation of a gun, which is a bamboo staff about one arm's length taller than the user. The style involves manipulating the staff in broad motions, meaning it requires a large amount of space, keen spatial awareness, and an even greater control over the weapon, as opposed to a sword.

While anyone can approach this style, it is ideal for someone who is tall and with a lean build. Power and flexibility are integral to this style.

When doing gunshu in competition, low stances, high jumps, sharp timing, and clearly defined moves get the best scores.

Student: I've completed the elementary longfist form. Can I start studying a weapon now?
Master: It seems that you are ready. Because you are tall and thin. Gunshu will suit you well.

rule 0 of the internet

Ask for none, and you shall recieve all.

In other words, if someone explicitly says they don't like something or don't want to see something, that's all they'll see for an extended period of time. Examples include the Harambe meme, Ligma, and Philip Defranco being called "daddy".

YouTube commenter 1: Here's 10 dollars for you, daddy

Philip Defranco: Thanks, but please don't call me "daddy".

*YouTube comments proceed to call him daddy for entire livestream and beyond*

Another commenter: Phil, you broke rule 0 of the internet. What have you done?

curryphile

Similar to weaboos/koreaboos/sinophiles, but for Indian culture.

They fetishize Indian culture and tend to simplify it down to very few traits. Many curryphiles will obsess over Bollywood, Indian food, yoga, and might dabble in veganism or vegetarianism.

This can often be an outcome of visiting India for the first time and claiming to have a "spiritual awakening".

Jenny: Namaste, Karina! I visited India for the first time on a mission trip, and It was so amazing! The food was so good, I met all of these cute kids, and I'm definitely going to go back!
Karina: Jenny, why are you wearing a bindi?
Jenny: Oh, I just thought it was really pretty. Guess what? I decided I'd go vegan after my time in Hyderabad. I also signed up for a yoga class. Ahhh it's so cool! All of it!
Karina (under her breath): she's become a curryphile after a single trip...

dream carrier

A person who is willingly living out the dream of another person who is unable to fulfil the given dream for any reason. They can either bring a dream into reality or finish what was already started. A dream carrier does NOT throw aside their own ambitions to fulfil those of others but instead uses them to increase their own personal drive to accomplish the goals that were set.

MLK Sr was an early figure in the American Civil Rights Movement. His son, MLK Jr became his dream carrier, and he finished what his father started.
