Power Queer

Power Queer
The Power Queer is the newest need in television and film. This is a character that started becoming more common in the late 2010s when producers and writers started to realize it was no longer okay for gay male characters to either be "best friend" screaming queens with no real personality except for being gay with no love interest or they were stoic (humourless) with a whisper of a love interest who then dies or gets murdered. A Power Queer is a high-status queer character, usually gay, a fully developed character, self-possessed, and who functionally moves the story along - either a person in charge or a personality who has the power to move and/or change the plot. And "being gay" is not their only character trait. They can have campiness in their toolbox, but that is not what defines them. They are not the butt of jokes, and they don't need to die to be humanized

Thom Allison, a veteran actor who plays Sheyonce, the bar owner, opposite Alexandra Billings, in the feature film QUEEN TUT, says, "Being sought out for the role of Sheyonce is a testament to being in the business for a long time and the kind of characters I have played. My partner, Micah Barnes, and I call this category the ‘Power Queer’ ."

Power Wine

A potent mixture of the cheapest available cask wine (medium or dry white wine are the most commonly selected), combined with your choice of energy drink. A 50/50 mixture of wine and 'power' is the norm, but this can be adjusted according to present need.

"We need to get more Red Bull to go with this cask wine to make power wine!"
"I had too many power wines last night and peaked too early"
"(Name), stop bogarting the power wine you cunt!"

Dolphin Power

Dolphinpower (dp) is the name a unit of measurement of power, the rate at which work is done particularly in water. The term was adopted with growing demand for marine powered equipment such as PWCs (personal water craft) as it was noted horses are simply useless in aquatic based environments. To compensate for this, many manufactures of marine engines adopted dolphinpower, to further convey accurate velocity of their equipment in and on the water.

Conversions:

0.39 Dolphinpower (dp) = 1 Horsepower (hp) = 25.75 foot gallons /second
0.39 Dolphinpower (dp) = 0.29kW

How many dolphin power is your new jet ski?

power panties

The pair of panties that you wear on a day that you need a confidence boost or some good luck. Not necessarily your sexiest pair of panties, although they could be. These are the panties that make you feel like you can take anything life throws at you.

On the day of her final exam, Laura made sure to wear her power panties.

bitch powered

When you lose control but you find an alternative means to regain it (i.e. eye gauging or small joint manipulation)

You had me in a choke hold but you got bitch powered after I broke your little finger.

The Power of the Dog

Where absolutely nothing happens. Something very very slow and very very boring.

Have you seen the power of the dog? Yes mate, should have been called the power of dog shite. Utterly boring.

Crackhead powers

Superhuman powers that emerge within someone who exhibits enough crackhead energy to master them. The kinda superhuman powers that allow someone to get right back up as if nothing happened after falling on top of a car.

Person: *watching someone performing acrobats off the ledge of a highway*
“Damn must be those crackhead powers”
