Omelasing

Using the suffering of less-fortunate people as a spectacle, such as in "The Ones Who walk away from Omelas" by Ursula LeGuin. Can be used to describe things like slum tours, or visiting sites associated with tragedy such as Auschwitz.

The slum tour is so unethical and fucked up. The tourists are omelasing.

The Cheesecake

A catch-all term for the upper-middle class (or rich) white suburban areas near or around typical North American cities.

"James talks up about being from Chicago when he's really just from the Cheesecake."

Gujaboo

Someone weirdly fixated on gujarati culture and cuisine. Pretends to understand gujarati language and weirdly fetishizes the culture.

That weirdo is suddenly learning Gujarati and turning into a vegetarian. He's a total Gujaboo.
