Altergamy

A deep, exclusive connection between two people who are not married to each other, but choose each other with the kind of loyalty and devotion that marriage usually implies.
Altergamy is when you’re not each other’s spouse, but you are each other’s one.
It’s not official. It’s not public. But it’s real. You don’t stay because you must—you return, because you want to.

Alternafactoid

“Alternafactoids”- a word used to describe hypocrites who turn a blind eye to reality!
Arguing with an Alternafactoid is in fact worse than yelling at your toaster for burning the toast!

alter egoist

A dedicated fan (or dedicated egoist) who's part of the ALTER EGO Wiki community. The phrase was originally created as the ALTER EGO Wiki was operating a fan cult for the game called 'Alteruism,' which fans can sign up for. It provides its members (cultists) with the latest leaks and speculations for the game found nowhere else during its development stage.

Over time, the term slipped out of that context, and people began using it as a nickname for all ALTER EGO fans. This is, of course, a misnomer, since the original meaning was about those super-involved, almost obsessive community members who lived and breathed everything ALTER EGO. Still, the name stuck, and nowadays you'll sometimes see it tossed around loosely to mean "fan of ALTER EGO" in general.

digital altering

The act of wasting State of the art technology to touch up the voices of singers or even instruments in music. The process is fairly efficient usually unless the singer totally sucks, resulting in techy, unaturally smooth voices that emanate a strange, humming sound. if you pay attention, it sometimes becomes very obvious. It is usually noticeable in songs where the singers aren't drowned out by electric guitars. It is not as frowned upon as lip-synching, but some fans dislike it. It is choppier in live music because the Mic. is the only thing correcting the tone.
Hilary Duff is singing better than normal!

Don't get too exited, Nasa just took charge of digital altering her voice, that's all.
