Queer-Switching

The practice of moving back and forth between two languages or between two dialects or registers of the same language at one time. This is more commonly known as code-switching and something people of color do to fit into a white society. But this specific word relates to switching the way a LGBTQIA+ person talks around other non LGBTQ people. For example using someone’s deadname and she/her prounouns around family members they aren’t out to. And then using the correct name and their real pronouns around others.

Code Switching

Changing the way you speak so as to become more 'Palatable' to different audiences.
Code switching isn't something that's necessarily used in everyday language, it's more-so something that's done without thought.

The Witching Hour

The hour that the witch next door calls Mother and complains about the bright lights and loud sounds coming from the garage/shop. Although usually a side effect of being a teenager and owning a shitbox, it is not an uncommon heckle for anyone under the age of 26 years to experience. Usually occurs around 9:15 PM.
"Son, it looks like it's getting to be The Witching Hour. You'd better get to a good stopping point before Janice starts ringing the phone off the hook."
