A phenomenon unique to Tampa, FL arising from social situations where strangers aren't sure whether to address each other with southern town-like hospitality or northern city-like aloofness, resulting in one or more strangers hesitantly whispering, mumbling, or even just mouthing pleasantries to each other while making minimal to no eye contact. Also a form of anomie.

Tampanian 2: "Hmphmph..."
Tampanian 1: "Nnn..."
Non-Tampanian: "What was that all about?"
Tampanian 3: "That, my friend, was the Tampanian Whisper."
A profound state of dissatisfaction or discomfort resulting from real or perceived reproductive capability (i.e. ability/inability to become pregnant or ability/inability to impregnate) not matching one's internal sense of identity. Can occur on its own, such as for childfree people, or be part of gender dysphoria and is made worse by bingoing or misgendering respectively.
"I've always known I never wanted to be a mother, but I hate that my body is capable of getting pregnant and wish it couldn't. I have reproductive dysphoria."
"I've always wanted to be a mother and carry a child, but I was born male and medical science hasn't caught up yet. I have reproductive dysphoria."
Used like /s, but for indicating hyperbole/exaggeration, since, like sarcasm, it may not be detectable online without hearing a person speak.

When a user in an online tech support forum, especially on reddit, responds to a specific technical question with unsolicited hardware/software advice, personal endorsements of unrelated technology, unrelated tangents, or put-downs about the asker's use of technology or level of technical ability. Portmanteau of "technology" and "mansplaining".
User 1: "I have a Windows 7 PC that keeps freezing every time I start a certain program. Can anyone help me figure out why it's doing this?"
User 2: "Bro wtf, why are you still using Windows 7? Are you a complete moron? Just upgrade to Windows 11 already. It's so much better. If your computer still runs Windows 7, you're living in the fucking dark ages. Get a laptop with a Ryzen CPU and at least 32GB of RAM. It's better for gaming and really worth the price."
User 1: "Thank you for techsplaining. Are you going to answer my question or not?"
Like dyslexia or dyscalculia, but only for reading analog (old style) clock faces. You can do math no problem, but clock faces are like trying to decipher an ancient code.
John: "Hey, what time is it?"
Greg: -stares intently at clock on the wall-
John: "... you okay over there?"
Greg: "I think I have dyshorologia."
An intelligent person who is capable of doing math but, for reasons of entropy/fate/providence/bad luck, gets the answers wrong anyway, even to the extent that even math teachers are stumped as to why.
"I checked my answer 20 times. 20 TIMES! And the teacher checked it five times! I showed my work twice over. Neither of us knows how I got question 4 so wrong."
"You poor cosmic miscalculite..."
The state of being really horny during (usually the first few days of) one's period.
"I think I have bloodlust." "Oh... you want to kill people?" "No, my period came yesterday and now I reeeeeally want a bang."
