Coordinate term: platonic

The central paradox of Linton's writing was her inability, or unwillingness, to imagine an asexual friendship between women.

2004, Martha Vicinus, Intimate Friends: women who loved women, 1778-1928, page 150:

Nonsexual in nature, unmarked by sexual activity.

Many asexual people experience attraction, but feel no need to act out that attraction sexually. Because they don't see a lack of sexual arousal as a problem to be corrected, asexual people focus their energy on enjoying other types of arousal and pleasure.

2010, Jerrold S. Greenberg, Clint E. Bruess, Sarah C. Conklin, Exploring the Dimensions of Human Sexuality, fourth edition, pages 357-358:

Benoit is determined to ensure other asexual (or “ace”) people don’t feel broken or alone in a world in which lust and desire pulsate through our entire culture.

2021 March 21, Jamie Waters, “‘I don’t want sex with anyone’: the growing asexuality movement”, in The Observer:

asexual

11.2 Demonstrating the Status of Long-Lived Asexuals
… Indeed, if sex has so many advantages, then which special adaptations - if any - allow long-term survival without it? However, the main task of the research teams dealing with such putative ancient asexuals has thus far been to demonstrate that their respective groups (mainly bdelloids, darwinulids and certain lineages within orbatid mites) indeed merit the status.

2009, Isa Schön, Giampaolo Rossetti, Koen Martens, Darwinulid Ostracods: Ancient Asexual Scandals or Scandalous Gossip?, published as Chapter 11 of Lost Sex: The Evolutionary Biology of Parthenogenesis, Isa Schön, Koen Martens, Peter van Dijk (editors), page 221

drab

en-noun

drab (countable and uncountable, plural drabs)

Probably from Middle French and Old French drap (“cloth”), either:
* from Late Latin drappus (“drabcloth, kerchief; piece of cloth”), most likely from Gaulish *drappo, from Proto-Indo-European *drep- (“to scratch, tear”); or
* from Frankish *drapi, *drāpi (“that which is fulled, drabcloth”), from Proto-Germanic *drap-, *drēp- (“something beaten”), from *drepaną (“to beat, strike”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰrebʰ- (“to beat, crush; to make or become thick”).
The English word is cognate with Ancient Greek δρέπω (drépō, “to pluck”), Avestan 𐬛𐬭𐬀𐬟𐬱𐬀 (drafša, “banner, flag”), Lithuanian drãpanos (“household linens”), Old Norse trefja (“to rub, wear out”), trof (“fringes”), Sanskrit द्रापि (drāpi, “mantle, gown”), Serbo-Croatian drápati (“to scratch, scrape”)).

cog

John Hanſell, of Bridport, in Dorſetſhire, ſail-cloth manufacturer, ſtates in his evidence, that the ſale of coarſe woollen cloath was not then a twentieth part of what it had been for the common people formerly, owing to their ſubſtituting Ruſſia drabs and ravenſduck as garments in place of the coarſe woollens.

1786, “Letter X”, in Examinator’s Letters, or, A Mirror for British Monopolists and Irish Financiers, Dublin: Printed, and sold by the booksellers, →OCLC, pages 41–42:

A fabric, usually of thick cotton or wool, having a dull brownish yellow, dull grey, or dun colour.

grosse toile écrue

fabric having a dull brownish yellow, dull grey, or dun colour


drab

The origin of the noun is uncertain; compare Middle English drabelen, drablen, draplen (“to soil; make dirty; to drag on the ground or through mud”), and Low German drabbe (“dirt, mud”), drabbeln (“to soil”), and Old Norse drabba (“to make drab; make dirty”), the latter three ultimately from Proto-Germanic *drepaną (“to hit, strike”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreb- (“to crush, grind; to kill”). The word is also likely to be related to Dutch drab (“dregs, sediment”), Irish drabog, Scottish Gaelic drabag (“dirty woman; slattern”).
The verb is derived from the noun.

Take heed to false harlots, and more, ye wot what. / If noise ye heare, / Looke all be cleare: / Least drabs doe noie thee, / And theeues destroie thee.

1878, Thomas Tusser, “74. A Digression.”, in Five Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie.

drab

Alteration of drag, possibly via the folk-etymological backronym "DRessed As a Girl" (with boy replacing girl).

Just for those who may not be aware of the term, “drab” is how you might describe a transgendered person (including transsexuals, crossdressers, drag queens, etc.) that is presenting as their birth sex. For instance, if Rain is dressed as a boy, she is dressed in “drab”. My original idea had Ruby on this page too, but that took away from the “drab” theme.

2012 November 1, Jocelyn Samara D., “Comic 278 - Ch. 12 - Drab”, in Rain, archived from the original on 2020-01-21:

(chiefly transgender slang) An instance of a transgender or non-binary person presenting as the gender corresponding to their sex assigned at birth instead of that corresponding to their internal gender identity (for instance, a trans woman dressed as a man).

Till, as a signal giv'n, th' uplifted Spear / Of their great Sultan waving to direct / Thir course, in even ballance down they light / On the firm brimstone, and fill all the Plain; / A multitude.

[W]hen he [the Devil] is aweary of vice, and aweary of virtue, used up as to brimstone, and used up as to bliss [...]

cis

Clipping of cisgender or cissexual, ultimately from Latin cis.

Coordinate term: trans

We're demonized and criminalized as perverts out to trick and deceive cis hetero men; therefore anything that happens to us, we 'had coming.'

2017 November 21, Trish Bendix, quoting Ashlee Marie Preston, “Why it matters that transgender women are speaking out about Jeffrey Tambor — and that people are listening”, in Yahoo! Lifestyle:

Oh yeah, because you know who's been long overdue a challenge? The trans community. Oh, they've had their guard down for too long if you ask me. They'll all be checking their privilege on the way home now thanks to you, you brave little cis boy!

2019 January 17, James Acaster: Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999, spoken by James Acaster:

The reality is that LGBTQ+ people face challenges at disproportionally higher rates than their straight counterparts — drug use, sex work, and financial instability can be an unfortunate result. My privilege as a young cis white man whose parents weren't going to let me drown afforded me the ability to make those mistakes and live to talk about it.

2019 September 24, Johnathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love, HarperCollins, →ISBN, pages 117–118:

Cisgender (or sometimes cissexual): not trans (transgender or transsexual) nor non-binary.

That’s LITERALLY what trans activists say and what GCs are fighting against.

2021 November 28, SophieXY (@SophieXY44), Twitter:

When I pointed out the other day that prominent GCs had been pretty silent on #RoeVsWade or had tried deflecting onto trans people, I had this response from a GC.

2022 June 26, Lee WilliamDesigns (@designs_william), Twitter:

(informal) Initialism of gender critical.


butch

Originally, it was probably used as an abbreviation of butcher. Later, in the 1940s, the sense “masculine lesbian” developed.

Coming out appeals to the narcissistic pleasure of presenting to another a finished image of ourselves, which they return to us in exactly the same form: [someone tells] you [they are] a bisexual butch, and you confirm it. But instead, it seems all too likely – especially, perhaps, for bisexuals, whose claims to identity always need that much more proof – that no such mirror-image will be returned.

1997, Bi Academic Intervention, Bisexual Imaginary: Representation, Identity, and Desire, A&C Black, page 30, quoting Jo Eadie

(slang, LGBTQ, countable) A lesbian who appears masculine or acts in a masculine manner.

From black + mail (“a piece of money”). Compare Middle English blak rente (“a type of blackmail levied by Irish chieftains”).
The word is variously derived from the tribute paid by English and Scottish border dwellers to border reivers in return for immunity from raids and other harassment.

McKay derives it from two Scottish Gaelic words blàthaich, pronounced (the th silent) bl-aich, "to protect" and màl (“tribute, payment”). He notes that the practice was common in the Scottish Highlands as well as the Borders.
More likely, from black + Middle English mal, male, maile (“a payment, rent, tribute”), from Old English māl (“speech, contract, agreement, lawsuit, terms, bargaining”), from Old Norse mál (“agreement, speech, lawsuit”); related to Old English mæðel (“meeting, council”), mæl (“speech”), Gothic 𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻 (maþl, “meeting place”), from Proto-Germanic *maþlą (“gathering, agreement”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *med- (“to give advice, measure”).

en-adj

allo (comparative more allo, superlative most allo)

more allo (comparative)

Asking a person to work on themself to have more sex seems natural and intuitive, but imagine asking the allo partner to be celibate.

2020, Angela Chen, Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, page 83:

However, being aro adds another layer of urgency. As we get older, a lot of our monogamous allo friends will find their life partner, get married, and have kids.

2021, Izzy, "Live While We're Young: Aromantic Frienships, Youth and Futures", CAMP Magazine (University of Melbourne), Volume 4 (2021), page 20

I would say that it'd help so much if the ace characters would be explicitly acknowledged by the creators, but this doesn't always fix things. In the case of Jughead Jones, his asexuality and aromanticism were explicitly stated, but that didn't stop people from completely disregarding it, to the point where most fanart and fanfiction of him makes him allo.

2021, anonymous, quoted in "Questions Of The Month", AVENues Newsletters, July-September 2021, pages 14-15

(informal) Allosexual and/or alloromantic; experiencing sexual and/or romantic attraction.


allo

Allos might feel infatuated with a new acquaintance or be more attached to their best friend than to any romantic partner, yet they can deny the possibility of romantic feeling because of the lack of sexual attraction. Allos can wave their hand and say, "There are people I want to sleep with, and I don't want to sleep with you, so it's only platonic."

2020, Angela Chen, Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, page 108:

Then maybe asexuals wouldn't face negative responses ("You're a late bloomer" or You haven't met the right person" etc.) when they come out to allos.

2021, "Will", quoted in "Member Highlight: Multi-Member Question And Answer", AVENues Newsletter, January-March 2021, page 19

Part of why I’m writing this essay is to tell allos we exist, to make them aware of our struggle and our pain.

(informal) One who is allosexual and/or alloromantic.

When trans young people talk about their own transition, usually they mean using a different name and pronouns from the ones given to them at birth, and adapting their gender presentation to better express themselves, while asking that others (particularly family members, peers and teachers) acknowledge this presentation.

hyper

hyper

fetish for characters with large exaggerated body parts

So we have come to a conclusion. Since the definition of "hyper" shouldn't just mean "big genitals" it should cover the whole spectrum of the body. Whether it's muscle or whatever one thinks is hyper. Hyper doesn't have one set meaning and we believe people deserve to have entitlement to share their sonas of hyper anything and not just by their crotch or chest but by their body itself. So with that hyper muscle and anything that defines "hyper" is welcome to be shared and faved or posted here. We want furs to be comfortable here and flaunt their massive anatomy. Thanks for listening and here's to hyper!

[2015 April 18, “making some changes”, in FurAffinity, archived from the original on 2024-10-01:

While most men may love big bouncy breasts, the hyper fetish goes beyond what is natural. Breasts and other parts will be exaggerated beyond a normal range. Implants are often used to create the body parts, whether in the chest or butt or penis.

CBT (countable and uncountable, plural CBTs)

Here Welles engages in the same kind of stereotypical thinking his characters condemn in their antagonists. For example, in a gay male psychology, testicles are not mandatory for “manhood,” if manhood is defined as being able to produce offspring. Testicular manipulation, or “cock and ball torture” (CBT) as it is known in sadomasochistic parlance, is an act around which extensive sexual scenes can be constructed.

1992, Les Wright, “Gay Genocide as Literary Trope”, in Emmanuel S. Nelson, editor, AIDS: The Literary Response, New York: Twayne Publishers, →ISBN, page 60:

For the female dominant, men’s cocks can provide hours of delightful fun. In the scene, this is often known as cock-and-ball torture or CBT, and bondage is an important part of this specialty.

1994, John Warren, The Loving Dominant, New York: Rhinoceros, →ISBN, page 167:

For CBT you will need thinner rope, rope that is quarter of an inch thick, and six to eight feet long. If he is particularly hairy, you may have to trim or shave him so his little hairs don’t get caught in the rope.

Painful as skid row life is for everyone, it becomes doubly so for the gay segment of the population. If you can for a moment visualize yourself living in a house with hundreds of homophobics you have the idea; and there are few closets where one can hide.

minx

The Minx […] frequents the water like the Otter, and very much reſembles it in ſhape and color, but is leſs; will abide longer under the water than the muſk quaſh, muſk rat, or little beaver: […]

1771, Thomas Pennant, quoting John Bartram, “Otter”, in Synopsis of Quadrupeds, Chester, Cheshire: […] J. Monk, →OCLC, page 240:

Many of these birds are destroyed by Weasels and Minxes.

We next come to the mink or minx otter (Putorius Vison) which is the only animal of the genus mustela inhabiting the northern parts of America that can be said to live in the water, and the name of "fisher" could with much justice be transferred from its present bearer to the mink.

There is, however, scarcely any distinction in the other portions of the dress of the sexes [of southeastern Alaskan natives], except that the skin coats or tunics of the women and the facings of the bonnet or hood (worn by both sexes) are more elaborately decorated with minx, otter, or seal fur about the throat, and down the front, than those of the men.

association football

(sports) a yellow-coloured card, shown to a player (especially in association football) as a caution that he or she has committed a flagrant foul; a further such foul would result in a red card.

Some large modern dance companies, most large ballet companies, and most large theater companies also require union crews. These are called yellow card companies.

1991, M. Kay Barrell, The technical production handbook:

Each local union has a separate number; New York was the first so they are Local One. Chicago is Local Two. A yellow card (they have been printed on yellow cardstock since time began) is sent out telling how many hands will be required in in each department for the load-in, load-out, and for the run of the show.

2014, John Ramsey Holloway, Illustrated Theatre Production Guide, page 6:

(often attributive) A card sent out by a travelling dance or theatre company to request temporary personnel from a local labor union.

1962 [1959], William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch, New York: Grove Press, page 75:

One trick I used is turning things into a word problem. For example, if there are three glory holes in the bathroom at the club and 28 guys at the circuit party, how many rotations of guys will it take before everybody's had a turn?

2009, Richard Appel, “Family Gay”, in Family Guy, season 7, episode 8, spoken by Peter Griffin:
