A portmanteau of "bro" and "oligarch". A broligarch refers to an ultra-wealthy man who uses his fortune and status to sway government policies, political agendas, and cultural narratives.
Broligarchs are often characterized by their bro culture and sneakers-with-suits vibes. Despite their laid-back image, they operate as political kingmakers, funding campaigns, lobbying, and shaping laws that align with their own interests. One minute they're posting memes, the next they're deciding tax policy.
In many parts of the world this would be considered corruption. In the US? It's just business as usual.
Ever since Elon Musk started throwing cash at Trump, he’s become the textbook definition of a broligarch — even scoring his own fake-ish government department to play with, while his companies are raking in billions in taxpayer money.

A person that seeks out band members at a show for the specific goal of asking them details about all the minutiae of recording, playing, writing and/or tells the band member all the details of their own recording, playing or writing.
Keep the back stage door locked, there's a lotta punishers out there tonight.

(n), a tougher or more intense iteration of an idea.
The term comes from video games, in which there are often harder difficulty settings (or "hard modes") than the standard gameplay, intended for players looking for a challenge.
In MMORPGs, "hard modes" are triggered versions of boss encounters that cause them to become more difficult than usual, but offer better rewards.
Siberia is the hard mode of Russia.

It is the mass destruction of a country or region's educational infrastructure because of war, invasion, conflict, terrorism, or mass killings.
The result of the invasion of Iraq on 2003 resulted in the “Educide” of education
In Rwanda, the genocide in 1994 had widespread effects on the education system, including attacks on schools and educators. This led to the occurrence of "educide," as seen in the destruction of educational facilities, which significantly impacted the country's economic growth and development.
In the context of the Yugoslav Wars, Educide was evident in the deliberate targeting of educators and intellectuals, leading to a significant loss of human capital essential for sustaining an effective education system.

One that has gone to great lengths to escape the unrelenting grips of the US Governmental ban on TikTok, typically by utilizing alternate authentic Chinese entertainment apps.
After the US ban on TikTok, I had no choice but to switch apps and become a TikTok refugee, after which I was often greeted in the comments by Chinese users saying “hello TikTok refugee, I am Chinese spy, give me your data or show me your cat”
