On Tender

Someone “on Tender" is a new Tinder user unfamiliar with the ethos, etiquette and mentality, comprising the app’s dualistic sociality of idealized, YOLO-ironic hookup culture and societally significant Millennial sexual progressiveness, resulting in a lack of matches and an overly innocent approach to interacting with matches.

Although Mark only recently joined Tinder, little does he know he's actually On Tender: One month in, and due to his shy nature, sense of propriety, and fear of meaningless sex, he has only 14 matches, two responses from those matches, and zero dates.

TenderToast

TenderToast is a surprisingly good and useful variation of the common toast we all enjoy.

TenderToast is made by placing two slices of bread into one toaster slot. The slot must be wide enough and is usually found on any toaster that accepts bagels. Best served with crunchy-side out.

Advantages of TenderToast:
- Abiltiy to make four slices of toast in a two-slice toaster.
- Toasts one side only. Crunchy on one side, warm and soft on the other.
- Makes a better BLT, fried egg sandwich or burger-bun substitute.

Carol and I were making fried-egg sandwiches one day. Needing four slices of toast, I was too lazy to wait and just put all four slices of bread in at the same time....turned out better than expected!!!

tenderness

Of or relating to tender acts. Compassion, warmth, affection, gentleness.

Opposite of cruelty, violence, sadism, callousness, cynicism, bitterness.

"If a man is pictured chopping off a woman's breast, it only gets a R-rating, but if, God forbid, a man is pictured kissing a woman's breast, it gets an X-rating. Why is violence more acceptable than tenderness?"
-Sally Struthers

Adam stroked Kevin's hair, holding him with infinite tenderness while Kevin sobbed from a horrible day.

Ellie's rigid expression melted into tenderness as she saw her daughter running toward her.

Tender-hearted

Kind, compassionate

Moved to tears over thei justices to others,
Moved to tears over the suffering of others

Your are a tender-hearted young man. Dont hide it, it is a strong character trait. It was evident at the museum as you got emotional seeing the 911, MLK and the Holocaust exhibits.

TeenDreaming

One of the sweetest, kindest, awesomest people anyone will ever meet. #Ramdom #DreamBig #StopBullying #BeKind He was bullied more than anyone (especially him) deserves and eventually switched to an online school. He dreams of being an actor someday and LOVES the Back to the Future trilogy. "Bob," his tormentor, should be fed to a bear.

@TeenDreaming loves Back to the Future.

tenderqueer

Typically a queer white hipster who uses identity politics to avoid accountability. Competitive oppression & self victimization. Centralizes themselves and their feelings in social / political movements that aren’t about them.

That tenderqueer started crying and lashing out when they were called a gentrifier.
