Noun. Part of a conversation wherein the excessive use of pronouns (he, she, they, it, this, what) makes listeners lost. Also called extreme "high context" speech.
- "Wait! He hit you? Who hit you? Jeff or Tim?" "No, it was Sam. Sorry for the pronoun maze. I hate it when others do that to me, too."
- "You ran into 'him'?" "No. Into 'her'. 'He' was watching." "With 'them'? I thought 'they' had left." "Yeah, 'they' left with 'him'." "With which 'him'? This is becoming a pronoun maze. Start over."
The state of embarrassed backpedaling following the accidental revelation of a party's gender through the use of a gender-specific pronoun. This slip abruptly ends a series of either gender-neutral phrasings or "pronoun lies." Generally leads to an ineffective self-correction, as there is no further lie that can provide a save. Restricted to certain languages, depending on the grammar of gender.
Pronoun panic interrupting gender neutrality:
Brittany: I just found out that it was one of our parents -- I'm not saying which -- who hit Fluffy yesterday, not a neighbor. They were on the phone while pulling out of the driveway and they weren't paying attention. But he feels so...I mean, THEY feel...
Brad: AHH I can't believe Dad killed Fluffy!
...and interrupting a lie:
Mark: Oh, you're going to Paris? My girlfriend and I went last summer and it was so romantic. She's fluent in French and she's always wanted to go, so I saved up and surprised her for her birthday. What great memories...one night, I took him -- HER...
Bill: Mark, we all know you're gay.

Neo pronouns
Neo pronouns are a neologism pronoun that differ from traditional English pronouns: he, she, they, I, you, and one. Neo pronouns can be traced back into mid-17th century, having been documented in George Fox’s 1660 book stating,
“for using those words to some proud men, who would say, 'What! You ill-bred clown, do you Thou me?'"
Other neo-pronouns such as Thon caught on for a short while from late 1800’s to early 1900’s, recorded in “Funk and Wagnalls, Supplement to A Standard Dictionary of the English Language, 1903”
thon. Pronoun of the 3rd person, common gender, meaning “that one, he she, or it”: a neoterism proposed by Charles Crozat Converse, and apparently complying with the neoteristic canons, since it supplies an antecedent blank, obeys a simple and obvious analogy, and is euphonious.
Neo-pronouns have since died down in usage but have resurged in mid 2010’s by Non-Binary individuals (people who identify outside of the gender binary) who expressing comfort in being referred to types of neo-pronouns.

Xeno pronouns, a lot like neopronouns are pronouns that are not she/he/they. Some examples of these are Bug/Bugself, Clown/Clownself, Glitch/Glitchself. These are 100% valid and if you disagree than you are probably apart of the Boyzzz
P1: Hey why is he wearing a dress?
P2: Glitch can wear what ever glitch wants, and glitch uses glitch/glitchself pronouns please respect that.
P1: Ahh, my apologies, are they xeno pronouns?
P2: Yes!

(noun) - Preferred pronouns are the pronouns of choice that the addresser chooses to label someone as. The receiver's opinion/choice has absolutely no bearing on the user's preference.
What's your preferred pronoun?
Glad you asked! it's it.
you want to be known as it?
No. No way. It is what I call anyone that is confused about their identity.
