The state of embarrassed backpedaling following the accidental revelation of a party's gender through the use of a gender-specific pronoun. This slip abruptly ends a series of either gender-neutral phrasings or "pronoun lies." Generally leads to an ineffective self-correction, as there is no further lie that can provide a save. Restricted to certain languages, depending on the grammar of gender.
Pronoun panic interrupting gender neutrality:
Brittany: I just found out that it was one of our parents -- I'm not saying which -- who hit Fluffy yesterday, not a neighbor. They were on the phone while pulling out of the driveway and they weren't paying attention. But he feels so...I mean, THEY feel...
Brad: AHH I can't believe Dad killed Fluffy!
...and interrupting a lie:
Mark: Oh, you're going to Paris? My girlfriend and I went last summer and it was so romantic. She's fluent in French and she's always wanted to go, so I saved up and surprised her for her birthday. What great memories...one night, I took him -- HER...
Bill: Mark, we all know you're gay.

Neo pronouns
Neo pronouns are a neologism pronoun that differ from traditional English pronouns: he, she, they, I, you, and one. Neo pronouns can be traced back into mid-17th century, having been documented in George Fox’s 1660 book stating,
“for using those words to some proud men, who would say, 'What! You ill-bred clown, do you Thou me?'"
Other neo-pronouns such as Thon caught on for a short while from late 1800’s to early 1900’s, recorded in “Funk and Wagnalls, Supplement to A Standard Dictionary of the English Language, 1903”
thon. Pronoun of the 3rd person, common gender, meaning “that one, he she, or it”: a neoterism proposed by Charles Crozat Converse, and apparently complying with the neoteristic canons, since it supplies an antecedent blank, obeys a simple and obvious analogy, and is euphonious.
Neo-pronouns have since died down in usage but have resurged in mid 2010’s by Non-Binary individuals (people who identify outside of the gender binary) who expressing comfort in being referred to types of neo-pronouns.
