gadgetbahn
Any mode of transport that is "futuristic" or "innovative" in theory, but ends up being either infeasible, impractical, or just a steaming pile of shit in practice.
Gadgetbahn systems are often outperformed by the most basic things, such as buses.

showmance
When actors engage in a romance for the run of a show.
Once the run is over so is the romance.

Dommy Mommy
A gentle dominant woman. A woman who will just hold you until kingdom come. A woman that will spoon you when you're cold and kiss your neck to make you shiver. A woman that will love you for who you are while staying having that wonderful quality of dominance that subby males crave. A woman that will let you use her tits as a pillow. A woman that will wrap you in your thighs or sit in your face and make you feel loved and wanted. A perfect woman.

Scanlation
Scanlations are unofficial translations of comics, posed on the Internet. The name is derived from the process, as, usually, a scanlation is done through scanning a hard copy of the original, whiting out the speech bubbles, and typing the translation in its place. Scanlations can range from basic unjustified text copy-pasted from Google Translate to professional-quality localizations, though it is noted that scanlations are often more faithful to the original than official localizations. From the same source as "scanlation", the verb "scanlate" is also in use.
On top of its illegality, scanlation has a bad reputation due to a massive amount of scanlated material being erotic manga. However, it is a misconception that only such works are scanlated, or even only mangas at all; for instance, Franco-Belgian comics such as "Spirou et Fantasio" that never received English versions have been scanlated thusly.
Unauthorized translations of already freely available webcomics are sometimes lumped together with scanlations, although, since no scanning is involved, they may not actually qualify depending on who you ask.

fake deep
'fake deep' is a description equivalent to an overt chauvinistic person. They appear 'smart,' 'educated,' or 'woke' upon first impression but the underlying meanings of their words contradict intent.
"I'm tired of these fake deep people trying to tell people how to live their lives and thinking they have all the answers."
"I hate those fake deep men complimenting / praising women while subliminally laying out rules by which they should look, feel, and act."
"Fake deeps shift stereotypes and simultaneously dehumanize marginalized groups."
