Unconventionalism

A religion or ideology that differs from mainstream religions or ideologies. This term does not just refer to a single religion or ideology but rather a collection of religions and ideologies.

Origin: "Un-" (meaning "not") + "Conventional" (synonym of "mainstream") + "-Ism".

My religion is distinct from all others. It is a form of unconventionalism.

unconventional beauty

Sometimes used in a sarcastic way to indicate someone who is not very beautiful at all.

I do not understand why I get hit on by gay men more often than straight women, since men are supposed to be the one driven by appearance... For those of you who are unaware, I am of an unconventional beauty.

Unconventional Christmas Party

1. When the company or employer you work for, doesn't provide an annual Christmas party and an employee(s) throw it instead. "Unconventional" meaning you're invited and can invite your friends, family, co-workers, etc. and your friends can invite their friends, family, co-workers, etc. For some people, their jobs do not have Christmas parties anymore, or they are never asked to one, this remedies the lack of festive celebrations.

The general rule of thumb for attendance, once you are invited, you can invite anyone and then they can invite anyone. Someone should invite you before just showing up. Note: Everyone should pitch in similar to a potluck or a globally set amount to pay for a venue and food.

2. A Christmas Party hosted by anyone but the employer, primarily for their fellow employees. This Christmas party can include, but not limited to, their friends, families, significant other's co-workers and their friends and family.

John: Hey, my job can't afford to pay insurance to throw another Christmas party. Let's have our own "Unconventional Christmas Party!"

Jane: I'll try not to all go to jail for inappropriate behavior this time!

Uncoffection

Uncoordinated affection. Trying to be affectionate or show affection but it going wrong.

I went to give them an affectionate kiss, but it became uncoffection when I head-butted their nose.

I'm naturally uncoffectionate, I can make any intimate moment awkward.
