cock allow

The opposite of cockblocking. An act of generosity that increases the chances of someone getting some action from another.

So I was just dancing by myself when this girl shows up, says "someone told me you were single," and we just start making out right there on the spot! I bet it was my friend B. who said something. He's always cock allowing for his friends, 'cause that's what bros do, you know.

Allowlist

An allowlist is a directory of specific elements that are allowed, e.g. email addresses, IP addresses or URLs etc.

An allowlist has the same meaning as a whitelist in computer and tech industry.

Allowlist like block list are much more intuitive and descriptive than whitelist and blacklist and don't have subliminal racist associations- blacklist = block and whitelist = allow.
