Tampanian Whisper

A phenomenon unique to Tampa, FL arising from social situations where strangers aren't sure whether to address each other with southern town-like hospitality or northern city-like aloofness, resulting in one or more strangers hesitantly whispering, mumbling, or even just mouthing pleasantries to each other while making minimal to no eye contact. Also a form of anomie.

Tampanian 1: "..."
Tampanian 2: "Hmphmph..."
Tampanian 1: "Nnn..."
Non-Tampanian: "What was that all about?"
Tampanian 3: "That, my friend, was the Tampanian Whisper."

Reproductive dysphoria

A profound state of dissatisfaction or discomfort resulting from real or perceived reproductive capability (i.e. ability/inability to become pregnant or ability/inability to impregnate) not matching one's internal sense of identity. Can occur on its own, such as for childfree people, or be part of gender dysphoria and is made worse by bingoing or misgendering respectively.

"I've always known I never wanted to be a mother, but I hate that my body is capable of getting pregnant and wish it couldn't. I have reproductive dysphoria."
"I've always wanted to be a mother and carry a child, but I was born male and medical science hasn't caught up yet. I have reproductive dysphoria."

John: "... you okay over there?"
Greg: "I think I have dyshorologia."

Fehu male

When you've run out of Greek letter males to parody, so you've switched to Futhark runes.

"None of the above. He's... a fehu male."
