Wizard angst can be used for all genders.
The stage in which a generally successful youth begins to act out and withdraw from most of their peers, usually between the ages of 11 through 17. This term only applies if -at least from the outside- the teen's life appears too good for this to happen. This means that wizard angst is especially common in upper middle class children, child actors, or children of celebrities.
It refers to the Harry Potter Puppet Pals video by the same name, in which Harry Potter begins to act out due to raging teenage hormones, and celebrity status as the Boy Who Lived.

Alex suffered from wizard angst the moment he became a teenager, and spent his teen years ranting on Facebook, and picking verbal fights with his peers. Despite this, he was really well off.

Get the wizard angst mug.A teenager or adult that has such a strong baby face that they look like a kid in photographs from the neck up, but they are an average adult height or taller and may have adult body proportions. It is strong enough to cause the uncanny valley, especially if it’s a man with a beard.

Get the Stretched child mug.1. A term used when someone says something that is too bleak or depressing for that particular situation. It's generally used in a way that implies that person should tone it down, but in a way that isn't as harsh.
2. A term of endearment for a black dog. This is a reference to the grims from Harry Potter, which are mythical black dogs said to be omens of death. Calling your dog a little grim is similar to calling your black cat a familiar in that it is poking fun at the popular image of the animals.

Get the little grim mug.When a teen or young adult becomes tired of their scene phase, and begins to conform to what they view as a hippie lifestyle. They listen to a mixture of psychedelic rock, folk, grunge, reggae, and indie bands while gaining an interest in psychedelics like shrooms and LSD. Unlike someone who fully transitions into the hippie lifestyle, there are still remnants of their old scene.
They may start to emulate a stereotypical hippie appearance by dreading their hair, or trimming only their bangs for more of a Beatles style hairdo if their hair is short enough. Unlike hipsters, they generally have longer hair and rarely ever have undercuts. They still have some variation of scene hair, especially with how their hair is layered. If they are able to grow facial hair, they may do so, unlike in scene culture where clean-shaven faces are praised.
They still wear tight jeans, though they are more likely to wear sweaters, shawls, sandals, boots, and drug rugs than their scene counterparts. Hippiecore kids prefer to dress in earth tones or colors that are not neon, though they may still wear black if they're going for more of a witchy look. They have similar styles of piercings as before including snake bites and stretched ears, but are less likely to use acrylic or silicone jewelry and will opt for natural materials.
Eventually, hippiecore kids may fully transition into the hippie lifestyle, revert back into a regular scene kid, or may become something else entirely.

Technically, Panic At The Disco and its fans went through a brief hippiecore phase in 2008 with the release of their album Pretty. Odd. This was only the beginning for some of the fanbase.

Get the hippiecore mug.A school that primarily focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Usually involves K-12 education, and tends to be a charter school or other form of school not within the public school district. They may be known as "STEM academies."
While some STEM schools may teach only a specific age group of children, many go from Kindergarten to 8th grade, or even Kindergarten to 12th. While the age levels are separated, a student enrolled in the school is guaranteed a spot in the school all the way to the oldest grade available, bypassing the need to re-apply or be stuck in the waiting list during the transition from elementary to middle, and/or middle to high school.
These schools generally have stricter policies regarding behavior than other schools, but may not be as strict as private schools. Students generally wear uniforms involving polo shirts and navy or khaki pants.

Alayna graduated from a K-12 STEM school. She remembered the school colored polo shirts with a mix of nostalgia and relief that she could wear whatever she wanted in college. One thing she knew for certain, however, is that her goofy 11th grade Chemistry teacher inspired her to study Chemistry in college, which was just as difficult as she expected. Nonetheless, she was putting as much effort as she possibly could, and didn't appear to be failing anytime soon.

Get the STEM school mug.Also spelled "safegay," this refers to implied homosexuality in a fictional work done subtly enough to be marketed towards a mostly straight audience or to children. This usually occurs when the creators don't want to cause controversy. or the higher-ups wanted them to tone it down if the plan was originally to show it more obviously.
Usually, it's hard to catch the first time around, but becomes more obvious each time you consume that media.

It took Sarah a couple seasons to catch the "safe gay" in her favorite television show, but once she noticed it, it was cemented in her mind.

Get the safe gay mug.Hallucinating after prolonged sleep deprivation. Unlike regular tripping, this is mostly done on accident, sometimes involving too much caffeine, or a sign of insomnia or other sleep disorder.
Hallucinations during night tripping are usually more horrifying in nature, involving shadows and flickering light. Someone may even think they see bugs crawling on the walls, or shadow people.

After typing his paper up until the early morning hours, Alan started night tripping. The fear caused by this made it nearly impossible for him to sleep, and he stayed up until sunrise.
