The Study of Rainbows
A famous unethical study conducted in the 1960s in Bauhinia, where researchers studied whether people's preference for their own soul colors is innate as we had long assumed, or was it merely a product of culture.
They had a bunch of soon-to-be parents sign up for their children to be observed and intervened from birth in attempts to have them dislike their soul color. The study returned no statistically significant results and inflicted varying degrees of psychological damage to the children. Studies similar in nature have since been banned, but the conclusion from the Study of Rainbows is still widely cited all over the continent.
Goober boogers
The TIR equivalent of six seven. Accompanying gesture is poking the two sides of your nose with your two index fingers. Abbreviation "GBBG." Someone made an AI-generated mascot of a slimy worm holding a frying pan, named "Gooby-Boog," that went viral. Stores sell gummy worms named "Goober boogers" and all of them are off-brand because there is no original brand. Every time someone sneezes, instead of "bless you," kids would say "goober boogers!"
This happened in Harmony and Sugarcane's generation. Sparrow, despite being in their 20s at its peak, was a huge fan of the trend.
