Although Western civilisation needs new categories of thought-crime like a hole in the head, the idea of gingerphobia as a hate crime is probably no more absurd than many other categories.

2005 September 24, Taylor, “Re: Penile cancer: importance of circumcision ...”, in alt.circumcision (Usenet):


circumfetishist

It's not my or the cirp site owners' fault that the vast bulk of proper medical and scientific papers, as opposed to the crap opinion pieces by US and religious circumfetishists, come down heavily against routine circumcision --as does every medical authority in the world including the American Academy of Pediatrics!!!!

2001 April 15, Maze chris, “BS was RE: debra series -PLEASE READ-”, in alt.fan.prettyboy (Usenet):

Countries around the world that only have about 1% circ rate have only a fraction of the HIV infection of the U.S. which back in the middle '70's had the highest rate of new infection in the world and at that time we had a total male circ rate of about 80%. To circumcise an infant, or for an adult male to get cut on the word of some "senior researcher" is just the dumbest thing in the world. These circumfetishists are telling an unsuspecting and uneducated public that they are bound to inevitably engage in some unprotected sex with promiscuous male or female partners.

2003 July 26, Maze [username], “Re: HIV and cirucmicision resolved?”, in alt.circumcision (Usenet):

EVEN IF every argument presented by circumfetishists were TRUE - cutting another person's genitals would still be wrong

Urban Dictionary

Origin unknown. Early entries for fleek in the Urban Dictionary date to 2003 (defined as “smooth, nice, sweet”) and 2009 (“awesome”); perhaps as a blend of fly (“well dressed, smart in appearance; in style, cool”) + sleek. The term was popularized by a video posted on the online video-hosting service Vine on June 21, 2014 by Chicago-area teen Kayla Newman, under her username “Peaches Monroee”, in which Newman, who had just had her eyebrows done for the first time, proudly declared “eyebrows on fleek”. She claimed that the term “just came to [her] out of the blue”. Lexico suggests it is “apparently an arbitrary formation”.
