Instead of LGBTQIA or whatever insane number of lettered acronyms are created to describe the plethora of non-traditional, non-heterosexual relationships of some people, how about call people who don't fit into typical heterosexual standards, COUNTER-SEXUAL. Just like with counter-culture, which is COUNTER to the mainstream, COUNTER to traditional most popular culture, COUNTER-SEXUAL becomes a similar word to describe anyone from that population when referring in GENERAL. When speaking in specifics then someone can still say, gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex etc....otherwise in general reference, it could be COUNTER-SEXUAL which is much more simple and to the point, more literal and less complicated, less controversial or uncomfortable, more neutral while still honoring the differences while trying to include all the different types of sexualities-which could end up using the entire alphabet!
Studies show that there are more counter-sexual characters in mainstream television shows since 2014.
The counter-sexual movement includes all types of sexualities that are not heterosexual.

1. When you feel a little skeptical about something but your feelings are laced with a little cynicism as well.
2. A combination of cynical and skeptical; when you are feeling a little bit of both emotions regarding something but neither one completely describes your state of mind.
Can also be spelled: Skinical if needed. ©DM2005

'I'm quite skynical about today's pop culture. I don't trust it and think it's lacking in substance'.
'Don't be skynical!'

Obviously a shortened word for 'probably' now used in internet conversations. Before the advent of this usage, it was commonly used in southern U.S. states in particular Texas as common vernacular and does NOT indicate laziness but dialectal and regional verbage.
Using 'prolly' is not a sign of idiocy or laziness but apropos savoir faire, subcultural quirks, accents and mannerisms just like many other phrases that come out of regional places.
Just think Pigeon English in Hawaii, Brooklyn slang or English/British expressions....we all got 'em!

When slang words & phrases that are either made up from scratch or the original meanings of actual words take on a new meaning, become part of common daily language and even get incorporated into official sources of language like the dictionary or thesaurus.
“Down below are examples of modern slanguage. Slang words that are incorporated into modern language”—-
“American youth are well known to use slanguage into their everyday speech patterns”—-
Examples:
Phat, all that, dope, bad (as good), tubular, ripper, bad-ass, lit are all words that mean good, great or really awesome!!
fubar, wasted, hammered, lit, stoned are all terms to denote people are high or drunk
cap/cappin, dis, dig, thrash, savage, rip are terms that can connote insults, verbally ripping on someone.
moded is embarrassed, wrong, made a mistake, oops.
hella, gnarly, GOAT, bummer are terms to describe how amazing or crappy something is. GOAT=greatest of all times, hella is super/awesome, bummer is a disappointment, doh is shock or surprise!
Periodt…end of story. Done!
ghosted, catfish/ed are when people trick you either online or in person. Ghosted means they bailed out, didn’t reply or follow through. Catfished means someone tricks you into thinking they’re someone they’re not, usually online.
down-low, low-key are expressions of situations whether they are secretive or should be kept quiet or something really great. Quantifiers.
dude, sis, bro, brah, homie, homegirl, ride or die, sister, brother are terms of brotherhood/sisterhood, solidarity, friendship, ……friendly banter or even a formal greeting but in a casual manner.
There are millions of slang words through 100’s of cultures around the world. These are mostly American and western.

A more apropos word to describe when a woman does something gutsy or bold instead of saying 'ballsy'. When a woman acts brassy or strong!
A way of paying homage to a woman's eggs when she is bold instead of referencing a man's balls! ;)

"Damn she's got eggs!"
"That woman who just wrangled that crocodile has eggs!" ;)
"Going up against your boss for being a jerk took eggs!"

Instead of ‘Middle Age’ for folks 45-65 who are still viable and foxy…it can be ‘Middle Hot.’
In age terms, there are many ages to describe younger people: newborn, infant, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teenager, adolescent, juvenile, young adult (early 20’s) then jumps into adult for a little bit and nothing else for awhile until you are over 45. Then it jumps from adult to middle age to old without recognizing the minute changes and steps for people in this age bracket of which there are many.
There are so many hot & viable people in this age range who don’t feel the least bit old, just look at the actors and musicians in this age group? Still rocking! Yet the name ‘middle age’ makes one think of the ‘middle ages’, a dark time in European history or someone who is getting old and past their prime. Many ‘middle hot’ folks are just hitting their real prime if they’re healthy and living true to themselves! Middle hot also recognizes when someone is still hot, healthy and vibrant, living a vivacious life and yet is not young.
MIddle age? No thanks! We’ll have ‘Middle Hot’ thank you!-Coined ©DM/2019
So we’re ‘middle hot’ now if it fits, not middle aged.

Robin Wright is a middle hot women married to a man who is also middle hot from France.
I no longer refer to myself as middle age, but middle hot. A nicer way to put that age bracket!
I’d rather be (or be with)a middle hot woman who knows herself than a young person still easily influenced by society!

-When a woman does something gutsy, bold or bodacious (instead of using 'ballsy').
-Or a group of women like a rock band kick serious ass performing or rip a killer guitar solo...it's ovatius!
Can be used to describe a bold woman or group of women the way 'ballsy' is used to describe a bold or gutsy man but refers to her 'eggs' instead of a man's 'balls'.
*Can also be spelled Ovatius
