heterodyne 

is a signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor-engineer Reginald Fessenden that creates new frequencies by combining or mixing two frequencies. Heterodyning is used to shift one frequency range into another, new one, and is also involved in the processes of modulation and demodulation. The two frequencies are combined in a nonlinear signal-processing device such as a vacuum tube, transistor, or diode, usually called a mixer. In the most common application, two signals at frequencies f1 and f2 are mixed, creating two new signals, one at the sum f1 + f2 of the two frequencies, and the other at the difference f1 − f2. These new frequencies are called heterodynes. Typically only one of the new frequencies is desired, and the other signal is filtered out of the output of the mixer. Heterodynes are the mathematical dual of the phenomenon of "beats" in acoustics.

A major application of the heterodyne process is in the superheterodyne radio receiver circuit, which is used in virtually all modern radio receivers.

I thought heterodyne meant the oral copulation of a heterosexual.

heterofying 

something that is so heterosexual that it's terrifying. mainly used by people in the LGBTQIA+ community/ people who do not identify as heterosexual.

did you see Jennifer holding a pretend wedding for her 6 year old daughter and her best friend, who just so happens to be a boy! it's heterofying what middle aged white ladies do in their spare time.

heterotypical 

Derogatory term for attitudes and behaviors typical of straight people and straight culture. (Obviously a play on the world "stereotypical".) It can either refer to a gender-schematic view of the world or to conservative attitudes about sex and relationships.

Some examples of heterotypical behavior:
- watching a football game with tostitos scoops and a pack of your bros.
- having a bachelorette party.
- going shopping with your mom or girl friends rather than by yourself.

Heterotypical attitudes toward sex and relationships:
ex. 1: Matt and Ally have been together for over six months and they're still listed as "married" to their best friends on facebook.
ex. 2: Sarah never has sex before the fourth date.
ex. 3: Jane and Chris broke up and never spoke to each other again.

"Angela always thinks I'm being catty to her and I don't know why."

"She thinks that about all girls."

"God, that's so heterotypical."
