(noun, informal, often humorous)
1. A distinct olfactory phenomenon associated with young, slim, and typically gay men, particularly in nightlife, gym, or party settings. Defined by a potent blend of musk, pheromones, sweat, cologne, body spray, deodorant, hair products, and residual laundry detergent, it thrives in environments of high energy and physical activity. Often described as a mix of synthetic freshness and raw youthful essence.
2. A transient yet potent aroma commonly found in gay clubs, Pride events, shared living spaces, and post-workout locker rooms, where pheromone-laden sweat collides with aggressively applied designer fragrances and the lingering scent of fabric softener. Typically fades with age, often dissipating by the mid-20s as metabolism slows and personal hygiene routines evolve.

The twink funk was so thick in that club, I could practically taste the pheromones, Dior Sauvage, and residual desperation.
