Countertenor

The highest male voice; in speaking and singing, countertenors have the normal range of a tenor, but are able, by singing in falsetto, to go higher, into the contralto/alto range, mezzo-soprano range, and, with the great ones, into the soprano range.

They are usually assigned roles written originally for the castratos, yanking those roles away from the contraltos.
Is that a female alto singing...? It sounds different... it's probably a countertenor.

Countertenor

An adult male vocalist who has pretty much an unbroken voice- (whereas, most blokes' voices break at puberty), and who, as a result of this failure to lose his "baby voice" at puberty, remains able to sing in the vocal tessituras- (ranges, to the non-singer), of the female Alto, Mezzo-soprano, and very occasionally, Soprano, without having to resort to the use of Falsetto- (false voice.)
True Countertenors are a very rare thing. Most blokes who think they're Countertenors are actually Falsettists, who sing in the Countertenor registers, using Falsetto- (false voice.)

counterhol

Alcohol left on the counter by party guests at a college party house. Residents of said house will consume the counterhol at a later date, often early the next day. This is not left over drinks or wounded soldiers, but rather fifths and handles that were brought and left unfinished.
After that date and a handle party at our house, there was so much counterhol left that Joey blacked out off it before his midterm on Thursday.

Those girls each brought their own bottle! We're going to have so much counterhol tomorrow.
