HSU

Stands for "Hills, Stairs, and Umbrellas." Definitely not "Humboldt State University," which is wrong.

The northernmost California State University, friendly people, great weather (if you like rain), gigantic redwoods ON CAMPUS, great hiking ON CAMPUS, we walk and bike everywhere... we're kind of a bubble here.
"I went to HSU because it's the farthest from LA without out-of-state tuition."

happy holidays

"Happy Holidays!" is not a politically correct way of waging War on Christmas. Absolutely not. It's an abbreviation. A time-saver. In the words of John Stewart, "Now I suppose you could say have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, but you probably have SHIT TO DO."
"Oh, hey! Gotta' run or I'll miss my bus. Happy holidays!"

echo:

Used at the beginning of emails, IMs, text messages, etc. when you are sending identical messages through different channels. It's a polite way of noting that you're trying to get in touch with someone any way possible.

glot'al

The correct way to pronounce "glottal" is with a glottal stop. That way it's practically onomatopoeia.
A: "What's a glot'al stop, anyway?"
B: "You just made one."

Anxenia

The feeling of anxiety that a host has when entertaining company because one is so concerned with making sure everybody is comfortable and happy.

Portmanteau of "anxiety" and "xenia" (the Greek concept of hospitality).
"Parties are more fun when the hosts aren't letting anxenia get the best of them!

princess boy

princess boy

Little boys who go against traditional male gender roles and who may have an interest in wearing women's clothing and jewelry as children.

Analogous to tomboy and similar to the word "sissy," but meant to be positive and used by people who support how children express themselves. Young children shouldn't be labeled by adults (as straight/queer/cisgender/trans) before they can self-identify.

Coined, perhaps, by author Cheryl Kiladavis in her book, "My Princess Boy".
This is my son: he's a princess boy. Maybe he'll be my daughter someday, but that's up to him. Or her.
