The practice of using care in language when talking about people with disabilities. For example, one would say "child with a disability" versus "disabled child." This puts the person first and emphasizes the person instead of the disability.
"Person with autism," not "autistic person."

A type of speech intended to separate the disability from the person. It has become well accepted by non-disabled people who try to advocate for the disabled, but beyond that has numerous flaws. Disabled and particularly autistic people have complained that it treats the disability like something too terrible to be mentioned, something unimportant, or something that can be easily separated from the person. The awkward phrasing also has the tendency to bring out the disability.
In some cases, this form is grammatically correct, if the name of the disability cannot be transformed into an adjective. An often used example is "child with Down's Syndrome" instead of "Down's Syndrome child". No attempt can change Down's Syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, etc. into an adjective.
I am autistic, not a person with autism. I could use people first language by calling myself a person with femaleness. Everyone would think it odd, but my gender is less essential to who I am than my neurological configuration.

the wrong way. if you pour milk first you are a demon sent from hell. they will try to convert you, dont believe their lies! what if you pour too much milk? you cant just pick out the milk and keep the cereal! the only time you should be pouring the milk first is when its your 2nd bowl.
Tom: So how was your day?
John: It was awful, I saw a fucking demon pouring the milk first.
Tom: Oh god... I’m so sorry.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have awesome chemistry in this movie!
I watched 50 first dates. I watched it 6 more times after that.
Are you staring at me or her? 'Cause you're starting to freak me out.

The fact that when on a first date, a girl is less likely to sleep with someone she really likes and wants to see again and is more likely to sleep with someone who she never wants to date again. This can due to the belief that all her partner is looking for is sex, and once that is achieved he will move on. This can also be due to a woman having sexual drives but no one she is romantically interested in around, so she goes for an easy, convenient target.
"I held out on having sex with the sexy fireman after he took me on the best date ever because I really liked him and wanted to make sure we'd go out again - but I did sleep with my douche bag neighbor after a couple drinks because I realized I didn't care if we had another date. That's the first date fallacy for you."
