corecore

From core (“an aesthetic ending in the suffix -core”) + -core. The term was popularized on TikTok in late 2022.

John Rising, known on TikTok as @HighEnquiries, started making corecore-like videos two years ago, and is generally credited as one of the originators of the genre.

2023 January 24, Ella Glossop, “An Explanation of TikTok's Latest Trend, #Corecore”, in VICE, archived from the original on 2024-04-05:

It's fairly obvious why Gen Z would enjoy corecore. You can be moved by these videos without knowing the sources of the clips but if you understand the pop, cultural and internet culture references, you feel special. Like most internet humour, if you get it, you get it.

2023 March 30, Hannah Ewens, “'Why am I crying over this?': how corecore TikTok videos caught the mood of Gen Z”, in Katharine Viner, editor, The Guardian, London: Guardian News & Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-07-29:

ship and let ship

The second way the fandom anti is seen to transgress fandom mores is to ignore the fandom etiquette of "Ship and Let Ship" and attempt to impose their definition of appropriateness on popular character pairings, or ships, in various media texts.

2024 January 1, Rukmini Pande, “"Get out of here you anti": Historizing the Operation of Structural Racism in Media Fandom”, in Feminist Media Histories, volume 10, number 1, Oakland, C.A.: University of California Press, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, pages 114–115:

(fandom slang) A pro-shipper slogan encouraging fans to focus on their preferred ships, avoiding ship wars and discourse over which ships are acceptable.


entityness

The issue of the languageness of the languages of art clears, moreover, if we turn from the aboutness of language to the special entityness of verbal-linguistic things, which, like art things, are entities just by virtue of being inferred as such from aspects of concreta filtered through a syntax and a semantics.

1970 August 20, Benjamin Boretz, “Nelson Goodman's Languages of Art from a Musical Point of View”, in The Journal of Philosophy, volume LXVII, number 16, New York, N.Y.: The Journal of Philosophy, Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, page 552:

(philosophy) The quality of being an entity.


folkism

en-noun

folkism (countable and uncountable, plural folkisms)

Once one accepts the concept of folkism in man's thought, this leads to a consideration of folkism in religion.

1982, Cha-yong Cho, Guardians of Happiness: Shamanistic Tradition in Korean Folk Painting, page 20:

This compromises the note of purportedness in reference that it seems to me folkism means to sound. Either the intentionality of reference is accepted as a datum or it has to be explained. Folkism short-stops the question, both ways.

2003, R.J. Nelson, Naming and Reference: The Link of Word to Object:

In particular, I argue that (i) moral folkism leads us to the deflationary conclusion that many of the normative and metaethical questions that philosophers discuss are settled by empirical facts about what ordinary folk happen to mean by their words — and so they're not settled by mind-independent facts about reality.

2020, Mark Balaguer, “Moral Folkism and the Deflation of (Lots of) Normative and Metaethics”, in José L. Falguera, Concha Martínez-Vidal, editor, Abstract Objects: For and Against, page 297:

(uncountable, philosophy) A philosophical stance that meaning is based on common usage by ordinary people rather than an abstract principle.

Perhaps best summed up as a mixture of Laura Ashley prints, chintzy wallpaper, imaginative paint ideas, and plenty of ruffled edges, grandmillennial is a true rejection of minimalism.

Wall coverings are a big, resounding yes for grandmillennials, and the busier the print, the better. This option from peel-and-stick brand Tempaper will add a whole lot of depth, pattern and lemonade-hued cheer to your space.

2021 April 9, Courtney Thompson, “What is grandmillennial style? Shop the latest home decor trend”, in CNN, archived from the original on 2024-05-01:

A grandmillennial is someone who has an appreciation for the detail in older homes, like crown molding, original hardwood floors, or chandeliers. That is so me. I’ve always joked that when it comes to my wardrobe, my personal style is “granny chic.” Now I have a term to describe my interior design style: a combination of granny and millennial.

2022, Stassi Schroeder, Off with My Head: The Definitive Basic B*tch Handbook to Surviving Rock Bottom, Gallery Books, page 111:

Japandi

Blend of Japan + Scandi. According to Keti Lytras, the term began being used shortly after the 2016 Milan International Furniture Fair.

So popular is Swedish design in Japan that there was a Year of Scandinavian Design celebrated, and Tokyo Design week was abuzz with the new Scandinavian meets Japanese style design trend called Japandi. It is heartwarming to see the Larssons’ love of Japanese prints and katagami come full circle. Karin has truly touched and influenced the lives of millions.

2018, Marge Thorell, Karin Bergoo Larsson and the Emergence of Swedish Design, McFarland & Company, page 3:

Japandi is a good fit with hectic modern lifestyles, because “these pieces allow people to create a clean, calm environment in which they can truly unwind”.

2011 May 28, “Olsen twins explain their 'granny chic' style”, in RTÉ.ie, archived from the original on 2024-05-10:

The argument for this approach to granny chic is that style advances with age and therefore older women may offer inspiration to younger women. In this sense, older women become fashion forward in their own right while also entering into status representation through a logic of wrong.

2017 February, Maria Mackinney-Valentin, Fashioning Identity: Status Ambivalence in Contemporary Fashion, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 39:

Princess Beatrice was the epitome of smart casual chic as she attended Poppy Delevingne's Della Vite Valentine's lunch on Thursday. Beatrice, 35, pulled off the granny chic aesthetic as she donned a grey sweater vest over a white shirt for the swanky lunch at The Ivy Chelsea Garden.

sad beige

Coined by TikToker Hayley DeRoche (@sadbeige) in 2021 and achieved virality on TikTok in 2022.

coinage

Ms. Kyne joins a wave of parents eschewing bright and stereotypically gendered colors for kid wares, and instead choosing earthy, neutral tones aligned with minimalism. It's a look TikTok satirist Hayley DeRoche has termed "sad beige," but some see it as a happy development: The ecru, blond and brown products fit right in with their stylishly muted décor in the rest of the house.

[2022 November 16, Chavie Lieber, “’Sad Beige’ Has Taken Over Baby Gear, Clothing, Decor”, in The Wall Street Journal, New York, N.Y.: Dow Jones & Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2022-11-17:

I'm talking, of course, about the devotees of what has recently been described as "sad beige". These are parents who, following current fashions, dress their children like small peasants in mournful shades of oat and camel, buy simple toys in "earthy" tones and decorate their bedrooms with such deafening taste and restraint that it's clear the children are less likely to be playing with Lego here than whittling a bowl for mother to fill with her own milk.

Revived Roman Empire

An extraordinary character at the head of a leading power in Europe will be the immediate instrumentality in organizing the coming Roman Empire; but extraordinary occasions always bring out such.
The great Napoleon, and the Imperial Confederation which he organized, afford an illustration. But the head of the Revived Roman Empire will be, in many respects, a more extraordinary character than the great Napoleon. The coming character will be an unscrupulous, impious, daring person, endowed with satanic intelligence and skill, and wielding a species of superhuman power over the minds of men. He is styled by the inspired Apostle, "that man of sin, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped."

1879, J. Berry, “IMPENDING CRISIS.”, in The Roman Empire Revived.

(Religion), Cincinnati, Ohio: Wrightson & Co., →OCLC, page 50:

Here is a distinction between the “FORMER” and “LATTER” time of the “Four Kingdoms” into which Alexander’s Empire was divided, which prophetically declares that those “Four Kingdoms” are to be resuscitated and become “Four” of the “Ten Kingdoms” into which the Revived Roman Empire shall be divided, for God is able to revive dead nations as well as dead men. As proof of this Greece is a sovereign State today, and Egypt is again coming into power, and in the upheaval of nations no one can foretell how soon Thrace and Syria shall again appear as independent Kingdoms.

1929, Clarence Larkin, “The Ram and the He-Goat”, in The Book of Daniel (Religion), Philadelphia, PA: Erwin W. Moyer Co., →OCLC, page 164:

The following will be among the questions the pastor will answer at the evening service: "Will Mussolini Revive Ancient Babylon?" "What will be the Relationship Between Rome and Bablon^([sic – meaning Babylon]) in the Revived Roman Empire?" "What Is the Prophetic Siginficance^([sic – meaning Significance]) of the Pope’s Latest Disagreement with Mussolini?"

1929 June 8, “Warning Seen When Il Duce Disputes Pope”, in Victoria Daily Times, volume 74, number 135, Victoria, B.C., →ISSN, →OCLC, page 17, column 5:

The other nations which were a part of the Old Roman Empire, but are not as yet in the W.E.U., as of this writing, are Spain, Portugal and Austria. Austria has already applied for membership in the Common Market. Portugal is a member of NATO and thus in full cooperation with the W.E.U.; and Spain has just renewed its military agreement with the U.S.A. and thus with the Atlantic Alliance and NATO. The end result, therefore, is that, even though the actual Ten Nation Empire of the Revived Roman Empire area is not yet in full political oneness, it is already in full cooperation by coalition and it is supported militarily by full commitment of the United States of America and the thermonuclear super-power thereof.

1972, Charles R. Taylor, “BIBLE RECORDED PROPHECIES ABOUT WORLD WAR III”, in The Destiny of America (Religion), Van Nuys, Calif.: Time-Light Publishers Division of Bible Voice, →OCLC, page 24:

One of the reasons I’m convinced we’re living in the closing days of the world’s history is because of the emergence of the European Common Market, also known as the European Economic Community. There is no doubt in my mind that it’s the forerunner of the Revived Roman Empire which the prophet Daniel spoke about with such certainty. He predicted that the number of nations in it would be limited to ten. This is the very number which the Common Market has set as its goal for inner membership!

1973, Hal Lindsey, “The Two Antichrists”, in There's a New World Coming: 'A Prophetic Odyssey' (Religion), Santa Ana, California: Vision House Publishers, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 186:

Though scarcely noticed at publication by even the evangelical press, The Late Great Planet Earth became the best-selling book of the decade, with scores of printings ultimately churning out close to 16 million copies. IT was a tale of biblical prophecy told in countercultural vernacular, and it went like this. Soon the Israelis will rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and conclude a treaty with the dictator of the Revived Roman Empire, also known as the Antichrist.

anti-anti

they’re not “anti antis” or “pro-shippers”, they’re enablers. enablers of grooming, abuse, sexualization of children, fetishization of rape, incest, abuse, paedophilia and dehumanizing, sexualizing and fetishizing the LGBT community, especially mlm.

2021, anonymous, quoted in Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 47

Just so those "anti-anti" types who claim to be the real allies know, as a minor I have always felt so, so wary around you. You remind me so much of creepy people, especially men, who I have met IRL, and your attitude toward my objections about the work you produce (especially stuff involving adults and children and noncon) is flippant, disrespectful, and just plain shitty.

2022, anonymous, quoted in Angela Marie Fazekas, "Creative Becomings: Explicit Fanfiction, Reinventing Adolescence, and Queer Relationality", thesis submitted to the University of Toronto, page 106

In response to this, pro-ship and anti-anti groups largely emphasize that it is up to individuals to curate their fandom experiences and avoid content they dislike, not censor depictions of it.

Ineffable Husbands

From a description of the plans of God as "ineffable" in the original novel (1990) by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett.

Known as the "Ineffable Husbands," their dynamic easily lends itself to being read as queer within the initial novel as well as in the miniseries, with the pairing significantly outpacing any other Good Omens pairing on the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own.

2023, Erin Giannini, Amanda Taylor, “In the Beginning: Nice and Accurate Analyses of Good Omens”, in Amanda Taylor, Erin Giannini, editors, Deciphering Good Omens: Nice and Accurate Essays on the Novel and Television Series, page 2:

Aziraphale and Crowley’s duality of personalities and complex approaches to life and morality means that you can tell almost any kind of story at almost any point in human history and find a way to shoehorn the Ineffable Husbands into the fray.

2023, Grey D. Mangan, "The Internet Isn’t Forever: Early Internet Fan Archives, Their Stewards, Lifespans, and the Political Nature of the Deaths of Their Queer Communities", thesis submitted to the University of Tennessee, page 87

Blend of complicated + shipper, or complex + shipper.

comshippers sometimes scare me more than proshippers

2023 May 19, Legs (@Pavryklvr), Twitter:

Comshippers ALWAYS use that excuse, as if it’s valid “at least I can tell fiction and reality is different!!”

“I don’t condone it IRL” is such a brain-dead defense proshippers/comshippers use, and I’m sick of hearing it.

2023 August 1, L0GIC (@123L0gic), Twitter:

(fandom slang) One who supports a ship with elements deemed morally complex or problematic, such as abuse, incest, or a power gap.


comship

Blend of complicated + ship, or complex + ship.

I know, but he's not a human and that makes it a comship. And there are many canonical comships, it's not necessarily a bad thing

2023 September 11, Julián (@Justigodesgod), Twitter:

I've always hated comships (besides the usual ones like immortal x mortal), but I just.. block people. It's as simple as that.

2023 September 12, Lumi (@oneiricstar), Twitter:

as long as you're nice and don't only talk about your comships as some make me uncomfy

Astarionmancer

As a professional Astarionmancer, you can get “Very High Approval” without the need to be evil.

I’m an Astarionmancer with a lot of thoughts and not enough creative outlets.

As a fellow Astarionmancer I don't mind a little peck before finishing his personal quest, but after that he should be more passionate.

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) A player who romances Astarion during a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3.


Galemancer

I know very well how hard it is, I'm a Galemancer since the beginning. I was surprised as well to see that he was so popular.

2021 January 28, disappearingcat, Reddit:

I agreed with some and disagreed with others, so I'm putting it out there for my fellow Galemancers: what's Gale's [zodiac] sign?

Put my Galemance run on hold because I want them to fix the bug that happened with patch 3 first.

I'm doing my first Galemance run and I honestly melted when he started talking about his hundur sauce.

2024 June 2, Mysterious_Ad_1525, Reddit:

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) The Gale romance subplot in the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Astarionmance

As someone who's romancing both Astarion and Gale in simultaneous separate playthroughs, I am loving the difference so much: Galemance caters to my soft Harlequin Romance side while Astarionmance is so totally my Bodice-Ripper bag, baby!

2020 November 7, TheAbominableMomo, Reddit:

i will wait patiently for bg3 console release and NOT watch any more Astarionmance videos

2023 August 16, TheFallowMyre (@DemiPixellated), Twitter:

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang) The Astarion romance subplot in the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Fenrismance

I love the Fenrismance, but GOD some of the flirt options are awful and pull you right out of the actual conversation.

2019 January 20, SpaceQueenJupiter, Reddit:

The Fenrismance is SO GOOD for just those reason.

I was halfway through Act 2 when I realised I'd sabotaged my own Fenrismance T.T

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Fenris romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age II.


Fenrismancer

I'm a chronic Fenrismancer (seriously I have a problem), but I just downloaded Mark of the Assassin and Legacy.

2015 January 26, [deleted user account], Reddit:

Plus I'm a chronic Fenrismancer who favors mage and rogue playthroughs, so I usually want him along as my warrior anyway.

I was never a Fenrismancer but now I might romance him again properly on my next run.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Fenris during a playthrough of Dragon Age II.


Andersmancer

Huh, I definitely didn't expect Cullen to be the most popular DAI romance among Andersmancers.

2017 September 6, presenceofwitch, Reddit:

I'm a Andersmancer for life tbh but I get it, he's not for everyone

That said, I'm a fuck the Chantry Andersmancer, and my Hawke lives with him in an underground bunker now.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Anders during a playthrough of Dragon Age II.


Andersmance

I love the Andersmance and Isabelamance because both of them change the story in their own ways.

My Andersmance is a playthrough that has very dear meaning to me, but Anders throws off so many red flags, he might as well be a matador.

My Andersmance was taken at a more leisurely pace, so I really got into the depth and grief over his character and his romance.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Anders romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age II.


Cullenmance

I purposely left Cullenmance for after my Solasmance because I need Cullen as my pick me up, but damn, this Solas thing is just sad.

The thing I like about the Cullenmance is that yeah, it's basically a fairy tale, but it's so obviously one that it makes it okay.

Do it. Do the Cullenmance. Love the Cullen. Marry the Cullen.

2018 December 31, emberwolfsasha, Reddit:

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Cullen romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Solasmance

I keep putting off my Solasmance, because I have an aversion to heartbreak.

I just fired up my second Solasmance playthrough after I spent a month promising myself, "never again."

I also vastly prefer the Cullenmance to the Solasmance.

2023 July 26, LikeAWildScallion, Reddit:

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Solas romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Cullenmancer

I'm a chronic Cullenmancer and I like romancing him with a Lavellan.

I'm much more of a Cullenmancer, myself, but I did the Solas romance and was very surprised.

2018 December 31, asha_bellanar, Reddit:

No hate to Cullenmancers, maybe blondes just aren’t my type lol. I’m not an Alistair or Anders-mancer either.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Cullen Rutherford during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Solasmancer

I started a Solasmancer playthrough and it's going to kill me probably.

2015 September 18, vanisplusxzone, Reddit:

There's a pretty good payoff in Trespasser for a Solasmancer. And by "pretty good" I mean "angst and bittersweet feels".

All we Solasmancers have is pain, forever and always LMAO

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Solas during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Bullmance

Also, Dorian has a lot more dialogue options than I am finding in the Bullmance so far.

And yeah, I think a Bullmance can actually be really healthy for certain Inquisitors!

Krem has a few specific comments if you're in a Bullmance that are really sweet.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Iron Bull romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Dorianmance

Dorianmance will be forever my fav in whole dragon age universe.

I always play as a female character so no Dorianmance for me.

It goes downhill in Trespassers tho, where Dorianmance was an afterthought compared to Adoribull.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Dorian romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Dorianmancer

I'm full on Dorianmancer, but I like to think my Inquisitor gives Bull the suspicious stink eye when they're out adventuring.

As a hardcore Dorianmancer I have a ton, but I think this quote is basically him saying that he loves the Inquisitor for the first time.

Honestly, Dorian and Bull have better relationship than Dorian and Inky, even if Dorianmancers don’t want to admit it.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Dorian Pavus during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Solavellan

Solavellan just gets me thinking the what ifs, headcanons, the theories. You have to really dig deep if you wanna understand the romance.

I am a (pretty hardcore) Solavellan shipper, though I completely understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Solavellan is probably my favorite romance from a narrative sense.

(fandom slang) The ship of Solas and the female elf Inquistor player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Bullmancer

Kinda sucks that Bullmancers miss out on the dancing at the Winter Palace (well I suppose that happened, just off screen) and a wedding if true, […]

2015 September 8, alexandriaweb, Reddit:

As a Bullmancer, I’m going to have to fight you now. He’s the best romance with the most interesting relationship outcome depending on your choices.

The Bullmancers got fricked over in Trespasser imo

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances the Iron Bull during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

2016 February 3, cade (@tinygrunt), Twitter:

There was this one cullavellan fic where both Cullen and Lavellan didn't want kids and honestly it made me so happy.

All the other Cullavellan shippers I’ve met saying how their Inky and Cullen fell in love at first sight and stuff… Meanwhile mine was ready to fist fight this man in a Denny’s parking lot any day of the week

2022 February 12, ace (@ace_trash_boi), Twitter:

I binge read some fenhawke fics from nearly a decade ago and still love them just as much :)

2016 January 29, Nyxie Black (@NyxieBlack), Twitter:

I have no idea what liking the Handers pairing says about me lol 😂.

(fandom slang) The ship of Anders and player character Hawke from Dragon Age II.


rivalmance

Yes, Anders' rivalmance is cruel. I never did it, and I don't plan it (I simply can't imagine).

2017 December 17, CaiusGermanicus, Reddit:

I actually like the unhealthy aspects of the rivalmances (and some of the romances) in DA.

2018 February 21, wardsarefunctioning, Reddit:

I preferred the friendmance with Fenris personally, but like with Isabela, the rivalmance is also pretty good.

rivalmancing (participle present)

And finally I would rivalmance Anders by being a hypocritical mage that supported the templars.

I love rivalmancing Anders and Fenris. Brings a lot of tension that I find really sexy lol.

2019 May 10, [deleted user account], Reddit:

i wanted to rivalmance Merrill once but that would cause my heart to explode.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) To romance a character in this manner in Dragon Age II.


friendmance

Fenris friendmance (especially with a mage Hawke) for heals and feels.

In my peronal^([sic]) opinion, Anders and Merrill are for friendmancing only, unless you want to truly, deeply hurt and bully them.

2015 December 28, [deleted user account], Reddit:

Friendmancing Fenris as a pro-Mage Hawke is another favourite. I really love the growth you see in him throughout.

If female Hawke friendmances Sebastian, he will suggest a chaste marriage with her taking vows as a Chantry sister.


Hawkebela

Hawkebela is such an under appreciated ship and I have no idea why

Seramance

I think my next run after this will be human Chantry supporter & finally do a Seramance without the elfy stuff getting in the way.

2015 May 22, Christina González (@c_gonzalez), Twitter:

But divorced from my character, she feels like my little sister, making it feel weird to read any Seramance fics.

enemies-to-friends-to-lovers

I wanted more time for the two together, especially more witty barbs, since I revel in an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers trope.

2020 January 29, Nathalie Graham, “Sweet As Vanilla Ice Cream”, in The Stranger, page 29:

The connection between Emma and Regina goes beyond one of the Saviour against the Villain, though the trope of enemies to friends to lovers played a big part of the initial interest in their interactions.

2022, Victoria Mello Veríssimo da Fonseca, "Fanfiction as a Literary Text: A Narratological Study of Fanfiction Writing", paper submitted to the Universidad Federal de Río Grande del Sur, page 36

The movie's plot is the epitome of the enemies to friends to lovers trope.

2023, Megan Freedman, "How When Harry Met Sally... remains a timeless romcom", The Medium (University of Toronto Mississauga), 13 February 2023, page 12

(often attributive) A trope in romance fiction (particularly fan fiction) involving the development of a rivalry into friendship and eventually romantic love.


friends-to-lovers

When I started the Mafia Moguls series, I knew I wanted a friends-to-lovers trope—one of my absolute favorite storylines.

2016, Jules Bennett, From Friend to Fake Fiancé, page 2:

Between the classic friends-to-lovers trope, incredible dialogue, and undeniable chemistry between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, this is one film that you MUST watch.

2021 February 5, Jessica Khorana, “The Top Ten RomComs To Watch On Valentine's Day”, in The Innis Herald, University of Toronto, page 11:

(often attributive) A trope in romance fiction (particularly fan fiction) involving the development of a friendship into romantic love.


Josiemance

I believe you're correct, no sex scene. It's been awhile since I've played Josiemance.

Runner up is the Josiemance because again there's more going on than it looks, plus respect and caring!

Currently replaying in preparation for DAD, and the Josiemance is still as lovely as I remember.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) The Josephine romance subplot in the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.


enemies-to-lovers

“And for everyone rooting for this little enemies-to-lovers tale...”

2013, Maisey Yates, The Couple Who Fooled the World, Mills & Boon, page 42:

I know that she never falls asleep before 2 a.m. and her favourite fanfic trope is enemies-to-lovers and she’s secretly a fan of Ariana Grande.

2018, Alice Oseman, I Was Born for This, unnumbered page:

And that’s because Go Hex Yourself is a romantic masterpiece, and the sexiest, most bewitching take on enemies-to-lovers I’ve read in ages.

2023, Ali Hazelwood, praise blurb in Jessica Clare, What the Hex, page 1

When I read a book now, I think I'm much more trope-aware, because before I read fanfiction, I don't even think I fully understood what tropes were. So now I see, like, when a book has enemies-to-lovers, I see it, and I'm like, oh-oh.

Josiemancer

I hate it too. Josiemancers got the short end of the stick in this DLC.

I'm a chronic Josiemancer. Josie was my first Dragon age romance so I always have a big soft spot for her character and her romance.

I am a diehard Josiemancer, but the fact that there is no approval system for the advisors is a miss.

(Dragon Age fandom slang) A player who romances Josephine Montilyet during a playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Later in a 2023 Instagram post by Lebron James: "If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a Grizzly bear, HELP THE BEAR [crown emoji]" to which Shannon Sharpe replied "I'm pouring honey on you GOAT," both referring to a variation on Bowe’s aphorism.

Just think how relatively lucky we are now. For starters, our magic-wand phones let us message or speak to anyone anywhere on Earth when we're tired of our isolationship.

autozoophilia

From auto- (“reflexive, regarding or to oneself”) + zoophilia (“the human sexual attraction to non-human animals”). Coined in 2009 by the American psychologist, sexologist and physician Anne Lawrence.

prefix

Species dysphoria in zoophilic men can be understood as an outgrowth of autozoophilia, just as gender dysphoria in gynephilic men can be understood as an outgrowth of autogynephilia.

2009 April 5, Anne A. Lawrence, “Erotic Target Location Errors: An Underappreciated Paraphilic Dimension”, in Journal of Sex Research, volume 46, numbers 2–3, Routledge; Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, →DOI:

Real animals share some physical similarity with anthropomorphic animals, suggesting that some male furries may additionally experience both sexual attraction to real animals (zoophilia) and sexual arousal by the fantasy of being a real animal (autozoophilia), if they are motivated by an ETII.

2019 July 5, KJ Hsu, JM Bailey, “The "Furry" Phenomenon: Characterizing Sexual Orientation, Sexual Motivation, and Erotic Target Identity Inversions in Male Furries”, in Archives of Sexual Behavior, volume 48, number 5, International Academy of Sex Research:

Pup play is a form of autozoophilia wherein participants engage in activities, manners, and behaviors akin to canines.

2024, Roger Kuhn, Somacultural Liberation: An Indigenous, Two-Spirit Somatic Guide to Integrating Cultural Experiences Toward Freedom, North Atlantic Books, →ISBN, page 159:

(sexology, formal) Synonym of pet play (“a fetish activity in which one takes on the role of an animal, sometimes as the pet of another”).


autoplushophilia

From auto- (“reflexive, regarding or to oneself”) + plushophilia (“the sexual attraction to plush toys”), from plush (“a plush toy”, noun) + -o- (“a linking vowel inserted interconsonantally between two morphemes to ease pronunciation without contributing to the word's meaning”) + -philia (“abnormal love of something”).
Coined in 2009 by the American psychologist, sexologist and physician Anne Lawrence.

affix

Formal study will be necessary to clarify the nature, prevalence, and interrelations of plushophilia, fursuitism, and autoplushophilia among furverts and to document the nature and extent of any co-occurring paraphilias.

'Gareth Craven. Likes to do things with dogs.' 'A zoophiliac.' 'They've got a name for it?' 'Everything's got a name. Necrophilia.' 'Dead people.' 'Autoplushophilia.' 'Auto-what?'

2018 November 5, Mark Griffin, When Darkness Calls, Little, Brown Book Group, →ISBN, unnumbered page:

Just like autoplushophilia does not always tie into the furry fandom, not all folx with this paraphilia are interested in being furries. As well, despite autoplushophiliacs often emulating plush animals in their role-plays, it does not mean that they are interested in bestiality (sexual encounters with live animals). In fact, it’s the plush aspect that is arousing to them.

2021 May 14, “Fetish Friday: Autoplushophilia”, in Between the Thighs:

(sexology, very rare) The sexual attraction to envisioning oneself as a plush toy.


menophilia

A paraphilia involving menses or the menstrual cycle.


incognition

thus did men of rank and opulence, practise like children, for that short fleeting hour of incognition or inebriety, sport little superior to the infantile recreations of the nursery!

1826, William Child Green, The Woodland Family Or The Sons of Error and Daughters of Simplicity, page 108:

In another work he developed his theory of cognition or incognition.

1889, Albert Schwegler, Handbook of the History of Philosophy, page 35:

nor was the exclusion of the statement that testator could not indicate that he understood what was said to him improper, or that his incognition was the same as when in good health.

1912, Daniel Coblens Joseph, Contest of Wills, page 193:

Hobbes noted that transition is essential incognition.

1927, Krause Reprint Limited, Proceedings, page 251:
