Full house

A group of queers, preferably a group containing one or more person representing each letter in the acronym LGBTQIA+
That group over there is definitely a full house.

Happy house

I couldn’t find any proper definitions soooo

“Happy house” as often used in tiktok refers to a family that looks happy and perfect but is completely different when alone. This family could look like the best family alive when in reality the parents/parent is a rage filled person who constantly hits, breaks, or damages things

For example, the family may look perfect. They have butterfly magnets on their fridge, but when you remove the magnets you see dents caused by someone in an obvious fit of anger-happy house

A daughter is bawling her eyes out in her room but has to clean up her tears and act happy and normal if she hears her parents/guardian(s) approach her-happy house
Jennie: “hey did you see Bella’s tiktok to that one weekend song? Her whole room was torn down and broken apart”
Scarlett: “yeah apparently her dad did it cuz she spilled some water in the couch, it’s so sad he seems like such a nice man..I think that’s called a happy house..”
