someone had told everyone to wear condoms,
I tried, but it wouldn't fit over my elbow.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

This conversation is amusing to me because I spent a good half of my undergrad discussing how 'culture' should be defined.
The general consensus is that you shouldn't bother and just fudge the edges.

Every culture has different fudge, though.

Oh good, because I could tell every time I started typing a sentence that I would have come up with something completely different yesterday or last week.

Well that's a post-processualist view. I'm sure someone coming at it from a processualist viewpoint would be happy to provide a definition and statistics to support it. Crazy processualists.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Crazy processualists
Oh yeah, those guys are NUTS. I totally know who they are and what that word means, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I quite like the processualists. But I can see the weak points in their view.

Yeah, I think it's an interesting idea.
