safe gay

Also spelled "safegay," this refers to implied homosexuality in a fictional work done subtly enough to be marketed towards a mostly straight audience or to children. This usually occurs when the creators don't want to cause controversy. or the higher-ups wanted them to tone it down if the plan was originally to show it more obviously.

Usually, it's hard to catch the first time around, but becomes more obvious each time you consume that media.

Coined by Stacy on the YouTube channel, Geek Remix.

It took Sarah a couple seasons to catch the "safe gay" in her favorite television show, but once she noticed it, it was cemented in her mind.

night tripping

Hallucinating after prolonged sleep deprivation. Unlike regular tripping, this is mostly done on accident, sometimes involving too much caffeine, or a sign of insomnia or other sleep disorder.

Hallucinations during night tripping are usually more horrifying in nature, involving shadows and flickering light. Someone may even think they see bugs crawling on the walls, or shadow people.

After typing his paper up until the early morning hours, Alan started night tripping. The fear caused by this made it nearly impossible for him to sleep, and he stayed up until sunrise.

hippiecore

When a teen or young adult becomes tired of their scene phase, and begins to conform to what they view as a hippie lifestyle. They listen to a mixture of psychedelic rock, folk, grunge, reggae, and indie bands while gaining an interest in psychedelics like shrooms and LSD. Unlike someone who fully transitions into the hippie lifestyle, there are still remnants of their old scene.

They may start to emulate a stereotypical hippie appearance by dreading their hair, or trimming only their bangs for more of a Beatles style hairdo if their hair is short enough. Unlike hipsters, they generally have longer hair and rarely ever have undercuts. They still have some variation of scene hair, especially with how their hair is layered. If they are able to grow facial hair, they may do so, unlike in scene culture where clean-shaven faces are praised.

They still wear tight jeans, though they are more likely to wear sweaters, shawls, sandals, boots, and drug rugs than their scene counterparts. Hippiecore kids prefer to dress in earth tones or colors that are not neon, though they may still wear black if they're going for more of a witchy look. They have similar styles of piercings as before including snake bites and stretched ears, but are less likely to use acrylic or silicone jewelry and will opt for natural materials.

Eventually, hippiecore kids may fully transition into the hippie lifestyle, revert back into a regular scene kid, or may become something else entirely.

Technically, Panic At The Disco and its fans went through a brief hippiecore phase in 2008 with the release of their album Pretty. Odd. This was only the beginning for some of the fanbase.

wainboarding

The act of training a small child under the age of 5 to skateboard or surf. Wainboarding comes from the Irish slang term “wain” which means child. Because the children are so young, they usually stand crouched a lot lower on the board than someone older, and have a different way of riding on the board for that reason.

Kyle taught his toddler wainboarding.

smoothmaster

Someone who is inexperienced with dating but pretends that they have a lot more experience than they really do. They will switch between being very poetic about love to being bluntly sexual in seemingly random intervals in a conversation, usually very short after meeting someone.

They do not take rejection well, but also may not acknowledge that a rejection occurred in the first place.

Despite this, they often brag about their success and dating experience, and make this their whole identity.

Within five minutes, Jerry had told her she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, implied the possibility of marriage, asked her if she liked rough sex, asked if she wanted to be his slave, and ignored her attempts to reject him. All in all, a move typical of a smoothmaster.

little grim

1. A term used when someone says something that is too bleak or depressing for that particular situation. It's generally used in a way that implies that person should tone it down, but in a way that isn't as harsh.

2. A term of endearment for a black dog. This is a reference to the grims from Harry Potter, which are mythical black dogs said to be omens of death. Calling your dog a little grim is similar to calling your black cat a familiar in that it is poking fun at the popular image of the animals.

1. Person A: "Dude, those ropes would be pretty good to hang yourself with!"

Person B: "That's a little grim, dude. This is a pirate ship ride. There are children here."

2. "Here's a picture of my little grim! He's a black lab."

drink yourself sideways

Drinking so much alcohol that you can no longer stand properly and are stumbling and leaning to the side like a zombie. You couldn’t hide this level of intoxication if you tried, and it’s only a matter of time before you fall over and hurt yourself.

1. “I really want you to come to this party, but please don’t drink yourself sideways this time.”

2. Eddie drank himself sideways last Tuesday and didn’t realize the cashier denied the sale for more beer. He just stood there.
