The Erlking Sweet Spot

The period in FTM transition where you're taking the right dose of testosterone, but you're not off of hormone blockers yet.
Named so because, supposedly, your voice is just low enough that you can nail all three parts of the Erlking.

(Some trans men don't experience the Erlking sweet spot due to never being on hormone blockers.)
John: Are you still on hormone blockers?
Carlos: Yeah, I'm in the Erlking sweet spot right now.
John: Oh, you should sing the Erlking!

To start a sentence strong but in one's pursuit of the most appropriate words, linger for way too long, frequently to the point of not finishing it. Speakers who erlinger are typically obsessed with sounding eloquent or fluent but ironically this very obsession prevents them from attaining their goal.
He wanted to talk about the ridiculousness of his assignment but I never actually learned what was so bad about it because he erlingered halfway through his rant.

When you're trying to walk passed someone in the street and you manoeuvre into their peripheral-vision so as to make them feel uncomfortable and move out of the way.
When in London and the pavement is crowded (and the person in front is slow - with nowhere to overtake), you "elk" (or make the "elking" movement) into someones side-view so they slow down, move out of your way, and let you past (usually without them realising the magic ninja skills you have displayed).
