Alphabet soup

That ever-expanding collection of sexual minorities that identify themselves with initialisms or acronyms that are more or less completely opaque to the uninitiated.

Includes, principally, the LGBT spectrum (LGBTQIQGQASA...) and the kink spectrum (BDSM, CBT, D/s, etc.)
Quinn was an asexual lesbian hermaphrodite, and a submissive masochist -- and therefore didn't swim in the alphabet soup, but dived in it.

pseudo pro-life

There are people who consider themselves pro-life. They are eager to stand and scream in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic (harassing women going in for Pap smears but not actually stopping even one abortion). However, they don't seem the least bit interested in opposing war or capital punishment (which would really save lives).

They also seem uninterested in addressing rape, incest, poverty, economic and social injustice, lack of access to adequate nutrition, lack of access to adequate health care, or sexual ignorance -- all of which are factors that drive the rate of abortion.

This leads outside observers to the conclusion that such people are more interested in being seen to be publicly righteous than in actually furthering the values they claim to uphold. I tell you, they have their reward.
"You hear Ms. Catholic over there calling for that guy to be executed?" -- "Yeah, she's totally pseudo pro-life. Consistent ethic of life, my ass."

pseudofeminism

Any speech, ideology, position, or stance that uses the language of feminism to cloak a thoroughly anti-feminist attitude (for example, that women should never be offered advice on how to reduce their risk of rape because it isn't their responsibility to reduce their risk of rape, and offering such advice is therefore insulting, demeaning, and victim-blaming).

Also, the practise of cloaking or justifying socially unacceptable bigotry, rage, or resentment in feminist terms that make it sound enlightened and progressive.
"So, now Caitlin is saying that she's dating Jessica to be more 'womon-affirming', whatever that means." "My god, such pseudofeminism ... wonder how Jessica feels to know Caitlin isn't dating her because she likes her."

SSRI victim

A person with persistent, possibly permanent, sexual incapacity -- inability to achieve either erection or orgasm, or drastically reduced libido -- due to the side effects of SSRI antidepressants.
Uh, hon, you might think twice about going with that SSRI victim -- if you want a sex life, that is.

Ampallang Chastity

The effect on your sex life when women look at your genital piercings and say, "Uh-uh. No way."
Poor guy, he thought he was so cool, getting three different genital piercings. Now it's Ampallang Chastity for him.

Age 18 About-Face

The sudden 180-degree whiplash that the typical female teen pop star undergoes at a certain magical age. Her public/stage persona, until this time, accentuated her virginity, purity, and innocence. Suddenly, Daddy's little girl morphs into PowerSlut Girl, and her stage persona and performance incorporate pole-dancing, nearly transparent clothing, exaggerated sexuality, and raunchy language and content.

The Age 18 About-Face can be avoided by a singer who has genuine talent and is something more than a music-industry manufactured product, but realistically, how many female teenage pop singers fill that bill?
You know J. Random Teenie-Singer, that blonde Momon purity queen whose hymen seems to be worshiped by half the music industry? Yeah, there are a lot of middle-aged men slavering for a year from now when she pulls her Age 18 About-Face.

Congenital Fauxhemian Syndrome

CGS occurs when fauxhemian parents give their child some kind of peculiar and difficult-to-escape legacy derived from their particular brand of fauxhemianism.

The most common legacy is a "unique" (bizarre) name, or respelling of a common name, that they are convinced will identify the child as "creative" (pretentious) or "special" (too stupid to spell her own name). Examples of the first include "Dakota Cheyenne", "Iriniel Moonchilde", or anything Elvish or Klingon; examples of the second include "Cymberliy", "Djennifr", and "Padraigh" (unless one or both parents actually are native Irish and/or speak Gaelic).

Other legacies include odd religious traditions (say, Raelianism, or, Invisible Pink Unicorn help us all, Scientology); teaching the child an invented language such as Quenya, Klingon, or Lojban as hir native tongue; and attempting to raise a non-intersex child as an androgyne.
Your name is ... what? How do you pronounce, um, that? How do you even _spell_ that? 'tlhIHuQ miHan'? Oh. Do you mind if I call you 'Dave'?" -- "Mrs. Haney, she's got Congenital Fauxhemian Syndrome. We just call her 'Stevie'.
