A cum sock that has dried out and hardened like a a cast. Urban Dictionary

An centuries-old but effective economic/cultural system of control in which a person who is born in a certain class is forced to live out his/her entire life in that class. Still being used by India. What the modern Capitalism-based American economic system really is, since the citizens of the Middle, Lower, and Poverty classes are forced to spend their entire lives working for less and less money, while being tricked by the Upper and Wealthy classes into believing that their dreams will come true if they work hard enough. Urban Dictionary

A Portuguese colonial interpretation of ancient Indian grouping by hereditary profession, called "jāti" in Hindoostani; predating the Aryan penetration of the subcontinent, but believed by White Nationalists (among others) to be a kind of primitive apartheid system introduced by the Vedic Aryans to keep those of darker skin away from them, due to conflation with the five *classes*, properly "varna", of Vedic society (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya, Sudra, Chandal). Urban Dictionary

A sexual/BDSM fetish, whereupon an individual enjoys some part of the process of putting casts on people. Some people enjoy putting the casts on others, others enjoy having the casts put on themselves, and others enjoy seeing the finished product. Some cast fetishists get very creative about which body parts and in which positions the subject gets cast. Urban Dictionary

A type of rule where a person's role is determined by his background. Castes also have different levels of power. For example : in ancient Japan, the Tokugawa Dynasty ruled with a caste system, where the samurai were the highest. Another example : India apparently has a caste system. This means that if you were born of a poor family, you are required (not destined, required) to be that way, and nothing you do will change that. Specifically, if someone was the reincarnation of the Buddha, that person would be the most powerful man in India. Contrary to the fetish beliefs, capitalism is NOT a caste system. Capitalism does not judge people on their birth, but requires people to work hard if they want to be rich. Urban Dictionary

The virgin version for use Urban Dictionary

Sleep; pass out; lay in bed. Usually said after a long night of drinking, but not always. Urban Dictionary
