Shiloh Panic

Named after Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the uproar over her androgynous, tomboy style.

The term was created by Autostraddle.com,and refers to any panic over people who don't colour between the gender binary's lines.

"Shiloh Panic is a larger commentary on societal moral panic.

Shiloh Panic is every moral panic.

Shiloh Panic is our society’s endless fixation with the regulation and suppression of sexuality and identity and originality. It’s the screaming burning blazing honest self, slamming up against the cold steel of a cruel, aged, bitter, stifled world."

Strawberry Panic!

An anime which I have no idea why it's not defined.

It has almost no plot but a large part of the series has to do with lesbian intimacy..and that makes it interesting.

Takes place between 3 all girl schools.. so I guess naturally SOMETHING will have to happen in fiction.

Signature panic

When the pressure of having to replicate your own signature - usually on a new credit card or when paying for an expensive item - is so great, the resulting panic produces an unrecognisable scrawl
- That bank clerk really scrutinised that withdrawal slip, didn't she?

- I'm not surprised. I totally screwed up when she asked me to sign it. I got signature panic!

Or:

- Sign here, sir
- Ah, jeez, let me do that again will ya. Damn signature panic!

The annoying car on the road, that leaves you questioning if the car is really a police car. This results in an obsene amount of panic followed by relief after the victim realizes it is not a police car.

(Car passes)

Joe: Yeah go ahead and throw and throw it at him.
