sotto-sotto voce

An aside, like sotto voce, but spoken loudly enough that the person who is the subject can hear it.

Note: There is no synonym that I'm aware of.

When he said "someone doesn't know their place!", he didn't say it sotto voce, but sotto-sotto voce, loud enough for all to hear.

VoCel

Voluntarily celibate . Voluntarily deciding to follow the rules of celibacy. See also Abstinence, lack if involvement in physical intimacy with or without being in a relationship with them.

When I was younger there was a discussion on abstinence and keeping your virginity till I get married, I did and after I tried it I didn’t want to experience that again so I guess I would consider myself a VoCel.

As I grew up my body didn’t and it was difficult being so small, people would try to be sexually involved with me except I couldn’t handle it so I decided to not be in relationships by being voluntarily celibate.

Years ago I realized that I don’t like people, I don’t see any person as attractive so I refuse to get intimate with anyone so I am a voluntary celibate. #VoCel

I am a vocel,
I don't give in.
My heart was broken,

Once I've healed,
I'll love again.
If I ever,
Love again.
