The music industry's performative gesture of 'inclusivity' when touring North America, usually meaning they'll hit Vancouver, Toronto, and maybe Calgary while ignoring the other 99% of Canada's geography.

Half hour shower of power.

An unnecessarily luxurious 30-minute shower that could've easily been accomplished in 10 minutes, but you were too busy having an imaginary argument or pretending to be in a music video. The aquatic equivalent of scrolling your phone for "just five more minutes" at bedtime.

holder's fee

The unofficial tax you impose when holding drugs for a friend, essentially charging storage fees in product form.

BOL

Short for "bundles of laughter," this delightfully optimistic acronym sits awkwardly between LOL and ROFL on the internet laughter hierarchy that absolutely nobody needed expanded. Essentially means you found something funny enough to type three letters instead of two, which is honestly quite the commitment in internet time.
