A word created by the combination of two other words, "gothic" and "retard".

The "gothic" style can be researched elsewhere, as can the term "retard".

"Gothtard" is a derogatory word or insult.

It implies that a person is a idiotic / insipid / stupid / moronic person who portrays a "gothic" personal style.

The term can be applied to both poser-goths and actual goths, though it is more commonly used to insult the poser types by both the goths and non-goths alike.

Many people (especially old-school goths) refer to todays "emo" movement as a plague of misdirected, ill-informed, depressed, poser "gothtards" since the "emo" movement attempts to derive several style elements from the gothic style such as facial piercings, raven black hair, a wardrobe dominated by black, and refrain from "average" society. However, it idiotically neglects many "key" gothic features.

These two movements are distinct, and should not be confused.


1. No grandma, that guy buying the band hoodie at Hot Topics isn't not a "Goth guy"! That's some miserable, wannabe. Just another silly gothtard.

2. Suzy portrays all the goth "criteria". Dresses the part. Listens to the part. Usually talks and acts the part. Conversing with her goth friends she chimes in "I want to travel to all 4 continents!". Her friends mumble "what a gothtard".

In the BDSM / fetish world, it is a Female Dominant who professionally works with submissive clients.
Also known as a "professional Dominatrix."

The term "Domme" is often confused with "Dominatrix".

A "Dominatrix" just is a Female Dominant who fulfills the Dominant role in a personal relationship or perhaps a career.

It does not imply that She IS a professional.
Domme is a term used SPECIFICALLY for the professional variety, meaning she is paid or compensated for Her services.

The terms Domme, Dom, Domina, Dominatrix, and Dominant are *always* capitalized in proper BDSM grammar, btw.
--- I used to be a college professor, but now I am a Domme. The pay is better and I do what I do best for a career now!

--- Laura is controlling and Dominant in her relationship with Her boyfriend billy. She doesn't want to quit working at the restaurant, so she'll just be a Dominatrix with him.

--- Every year Dommes from across the country go to a BDSM event called DomCon.
