It is often abbreviated to aspec (or a-spec).

Person 2: Oh, cool, so you're on the aromantic/asexual spectrum! I'm demiromantic!
Person 1: Nice, you're aspec too!

Queer

An umbrella term that encompasses all non-normative and/or atypical sex, gender, sexual, and/or romantic identities and typically used interchangeably with LGBT(Q+) but with an emphasis on nonconformity and anti-assimilation due to its origin as a word meaning "strange" and later as a slur against homosexuals; alternatively a standalone label for those who do not wish to further clarify their identity

Person 1: I identify as queer!
Person 2: ...Isn't that a slur against gay people?
Person 3: It was and sometimes still is, but many queer people have reclaimed it and find it's the only word that fits us.

Cringe Culture

The social landscape wherein those who display a facet of their identity that is considered “cringy” become targets of mockery, bullying and harassment, typically via social media sites like Reddit or YouTube.

“Cringe content” is usually aimed at completely harmless behavior and/or individuals and was popularized in the early 2010s during the boom of Anti-SJW Cringe Compilation videos on YouTube.

Person 1: I really want to cosplay at the convention but I'm afraid it'll come off as cringy.
Person 2: Oh, didn't you hear? Cringe Culture is dead! Do whatever you want forever!
