The Elect

Third-wave antiracist social justice warriors that take themselves too seriously and believe their cause is important enough that it warrants hurting other people, and sometimes destroying their lives, over even the smallest political correctness faults, especially on Twitter. The term was coined by Joseph Bottum and popularized by John McWhorter.

"We will term these people The Elect. They do think of themselves as bearers of a wisdom, granted them for any number of reasons—a gift for empathy, life experience, maybe even intelligence. But they see themselves as having been chosen, as it were, by one or some of these factors, as understanding something most do not." -- John McWhorter

The Ellen Threshold

The point of ugliness in a male below which a 100% straight female would rather go against her sexual orientation and sleep with Ellen DeGegeneres than with him. The female equivalent is the Neil Threshold, for girls so ugly that a straight male would rather sleep with Neil Patrick Harris.

Alan is covered with zits, smells like a used pizza box, and has a hunchback-- I'd definitely rather do Ellen DeGeneres; he's below the Ellen Threshold.

The Electric Wookie

Show up in the bedroom wearing your party socks (completely naked except knee high white socks). As you are "loving" your lady friend from behind, slowly build up static electricity on the bedroom carpet. When she starts getting worked up and moaning loudly, you static electrify her nipples. Her combination of the shock and moaning will let out the most glorious of Wookie screams. Unleash her inner Wookie!

My gal has been really riding my ass lately, but nothing The Electric Wookie can't rectify.
