tard fam tension

The tension that exists between all the tard fam members. This tension is very apparent when all the tard fam members are in the same setting. You will constantly see them taking jabs at each other and also trying to put the other ones down. The idea is similar to tard fam supremacy where each one wants to be the top dog which is why the tension exists in the first place. I don't know if the tension will ever subside but head butting that goes on is always hilarious to watch.
Mike Carlson: I'm projected to get a 30 on my ACT.
Norman "Nick": Stfu, you'll probably get like a 22.
Mike Carlson: I think you're just jealous that I'll get a higher score than you.
Norman "Nick": You're actually a dumbass, 22 is a best case for you.
Mike Carlson: Oh well, still higher than York.
Ray Naker: Damn, the tard fam tension is real

Tessorexia

An eating disorder claiming to be "Anorexia Nervosa" that objectively fails to meet actual DSM-V criteria due to lacking the required "intense fear of weight gain", and of not being medically "underweight".

Tessorexia can be distinguished from "OSFED" or the Atypical Anorexia classification sub-type (which do not have the "underweight" requirement) in that a specific diagnosis of "Tessorexia" requires one to also meet four additional (non-DSM) criteria:

1) Seeking to further one's social media status,
2) Attempting to stay culturally relevant to one's Fat Acceptance and Body Positivity followers,
3) Appropriating "anorexia" from skinny pro-ana girls (since anorexia sounds sexier than "OSFED"),
4) Positioning one's self to silence critics by proclaiming one is a "recovering anorexic" in contrary to their Health at Every Size beliefs.
Tessie: I didn't eat (a whole cake with my picture on it) for three days so I could be lovely. I just let all my social media followers know that I'm now officially a recovering anorexic.

Sasha: No, you have Tessorexia.

Toilet Tension

When you are taking a deuce in public, and someone walks into the bathroom, so you close your cheeks with all your might. Of course, when the bathroom is empty, your bowels explode your shit outward at Mach 3.
I was taking a shit yesterday at Applebee's, and somebody walks in. So I get toilet tension and seize up my ass. So this guy left, and it was just me. So I explode my ass, and shortly after, I hear someone flush a urinal...I guess someone walked in when the other guy walked out...

tessitura

In music, this refers to the best-sounding and most comfortable range for a singer (or an instrument), to the color and quality of the voice.
A singer's tessitura depends on where their voice sounds the strongest (and most comfortable);

Sopranos and tenors sound the strongest and most at ease in their high notes but weaker in their low notes;
Mezzo-sopranos and baritones sound weaker and less comfortable in their high notes but strongest and most comfortable in mid-range and strong in their low notes;

Contraltos and basses sound the strongest and most comfortable in their low notes and weaker in their high notes.
Tessitura is a good determiner of voice type; range alone does not tell where a voice sounds its best and vocal color on its own does not determine either of those.

Sopranos and tenors generally sound bright, contraltos and basses generally sound dark, and mezzo-sopranos and baritones are of medium color. But a singer can sound as bright and sunny as a soprano and have a contralto tessitura or another can sound like a baritone yet have the tessitura of a tenor.
Sarah Brightman has a bright, lightweight voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Allison Crowe has a heavy, rather dark voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Idina Menzel's voice is lightweight, has a bright color and the tessitura of a mezzo-soprano.
Annie Lennox has a dark, heavy voice and a contralto tessitura.
