Sighness infection

A mood where you feel like sighing all the time. Usually the "infected" are unhappy, but may also be wistful or any other emotion which produces sighs. Not to be confused with clinical depression, which is more persistent but not necessarily more intense.

May also be called "sighnessitis."

Paradour

Someone you like but don't like-like. A pun on paramour and adore. Rarely reciprocal, because what really is in this crazy, mixed-up world?

Whoristorian

People who can remember almost every guy/girl their friends have hooked up with, how they met, where they were, what nickname they gave the guy/girl and why they were dubbed said nickname. Portmanteau of whore and historian.

Evite Exegesis

Analyzing an evite. Despite evites' air of informality, they are often carefully constructed by party planners and thus can be rich with meaning. Nevertheless, it is easy to overthink an evite, whether by incorrectly ascribing intentionality to hastily written remarks, attempting to divine patterns from the ebb & flow of responses, or forgetting to ask yourself the simple question, "Will I have fun?"
No response prompts more evite exegesis than "+ 1 guest."

Backhanded Insult

A compliment couched in the form or tone of an insult. Often used by people who *want* to be nice, but fear being seen as weak or disingenuous, but can be unintentional.
When Maurice told Mary she was "the least photogenic pretty chick" he'd ever seen, he meant that pictures didn't do her beauty justice, but it came off as a backhanded insult.

Jewtaku

Goyim with a fetish for Jewish people and/or Judaica. Derived from the English appropriation of the Japanese word otaku.

"Jewish" is itself a highly contested term, so someone you view as a Jewtaku may actually self-identify as Jewish.

Not to be confused with a Jewish otaku (aka a jewbaka).
VIE: Elvis was a Jewtaku 'cause he used to wear a chai necklace.
ELI: His mother's mother's mother was Jewish.
VIE: I stand corrected -- Mitochondrial DNA FTW!
