Refugrants: A group of people made up of migrants and refugees. Or, people who were driven out from their homes and forced to become refugees in neighboring country, be it as a result of conflict or natural disasters, then, chose to migrate farther in search of better living conditions and a better future for their children.
Refugenics: A nonexistent
field of scientific inquiry concerned with analyzing “refugees” both as a
transformational socioeconomic and political development, and as a
psychological phenomenon that leaves deep imprints on the lives of the people
involved, their host communities as well as their original communities.
Example: Despite being a
nonexistent field of scientific inquiry, the founders of Refugenics, aka
refugenicists, hope that their findings could be used by all parties to the
Migraint Crisis: the countries of origin as they struggle to find peace and
rebuild their shattered infrastructure and sense of identity, the host
countries in their efforts to integrate incoming refugees in a manner that is
respectful of their humanity and potential, and the refugees themselves as they
grapple with their new sociopolitical and cultural environments.
(The) Rhodes Effect: A
sharp turn in the public debate allowing a political establishment not
interested in discussing the real issue to shift the ongoing debate allowing it
to focus on some vacuous yet seemingly important revelations. In that sense, it
is really no different than the better known Drumpf Effect, except
for the latter’s penchant for the crass and dramatic.
(The) Rhodes Treatment: Spinning
a certain yarn in such a way that makes it clear to one’s audience how much of
a fucking asshole one happens to be. The yarn itself is often badly spun, as
spinning is not really the point.
Rhodegious: An
adjective that refers to the unhealthy appearance of the object being
described. It’s often employed within a political context with special
reference to someone’s ego. As such, a person said to have a Rhodegious ego is
not one with whom we could expect to have a pleasant conversation. On a related
note, it’s often observed that people with Rhodesian egos often have small
hands.
Rhoid Rage: A
phenomenon observed mostly among people whose best ideas seem to come out of
their ass. It largely involves gathering in large groups and speaking shit to
power, while defecating on oneself. Most populist politicians and many of their
supporters seem to suffer from this condition that continues to defy
analysis.
(A) Roy-Mooresque: a statement made, or action taken with the intention of deflecting or denying a specific charge that instead ends up validating it. For example, making a statement such as: One of my (friends, colleagues, lawyers, accountants, etc.) is a (member of the group one allegedly hates).” This statement only confirms the inherent bias one has vis-à-vis said group.
(The) Russian Probe: A sex game
involving horny white Christian males of varying political persuasions, a few
token females and minorities, and a goat infected with a fatal sexually
transmitted disease. The game became popular near the end of the first quarter
of the 21st Century leading to the collapse of Western civilization.
(A) Russian Withdrawal: A
sexual counter-reproduction practice endorsed by the Russian Orthodox Church as
well as Russia’s perennially presumptive and presumptuous potentate, Vladimir
Putin, that experts describe more as a redeployment than an actual withdrawal,
which explains why it often fails to prevent pregnancy, or to make the sexual
experience more often to those on the penetrated end of the not-so-delicate
process.
(The) Ryan Shtick: A shitty
thing that a shithead has to constantly do on behalf of so many cowardly shits
in order to garner their continued support of his position despite his deeply
shitty nature. Also known as the MitchMac Hack.
