shiny

(adj.) referring to a style associated with many gay men that puts strong emphasis on neat personal grooming, fashionable clothing and effervescent social interaction; sometimes generalized to refer to gay males in general.

(Coined, as far as I know, by my ex-wife, an actress, as a code of sorts shared with her circle of gay male friends and picked up by her many straight friends, as well.)

"Is that haircut shiny or what?"; "Don't go gettin' all shiny around me"; "Do you think he possibly could be, oh, I don't know....shiny?"

trumpence

The internal discomfort felt with the dawning realization that something ingested will result in a noise so loud and embarrassing that a fanfare will pale in comparison.

Though Brexit has given those in the UK widespread trumpence, citizens of the US may soon experience an even worse outbreak.
