cisracial

Cisracial (often abbreviated to simply cis) is a term for people whose experiences of their own race agree with the race they were assigned at birth. Cisracial may also be defined as those who have "a racial identity or perform a racial role that society considers appropriate for one's race."

Opposite of transracial.

I am perfectly comfortable identifying as the race my parents put on my birth certificate. I am cisracial.

Many transracial folks like Rachel Dolezal and Elizabeth Warren noticed a shift in their friendships after they transitioned, with some struggling to make friends with cisracial men and women, unsure of the social cues of cisracial friendship.

CISC

Complex Instruction Set Chip:

CISC is a chip arcitecture that supports a complex instruction set. They are mainly used in desktop computers. While they operate at a higher frequency than RISC chips, they can't complete as many instructions per cycle as RISC chips can. There have been endless debates about whether risc or cisc chips are better, cost/power comparisons, etc.

All windows and mac computers use CISC chips.

Britney Spears circa 2007

In contrast to Britney Spears circa 1999, a testament to just how far downhill someone can go in eight years.

I'd much rather look at pictures of Britney Spears circa 1999 than Britney Spears circa 2007.

Cicada

A locust-type insect quite common in the southern United States. Some species do hibernate for seventeen years, but not all. They produce a very loud screeching sound somewhat similar to the sound of crickets but much more irritating. They typically are around all summer. They are terribly clumsy fliers; I've had several fly into my head.

The sound of the cicadas outside my window blocks out the sound of my TV.

Walking outside, the cicadas were deafening.

Cicada carcasses litter the Southern sidewalks come autumn.
