indy cred

noun.
Knowledge regarding obscure (and usually horribe) bands and movies that makes someone "indy".

Familiarity with independant movements that nobody else knows about or cares about also qualifies as "indy cred".

indie guy #1: since the arctic monkeys are no longer 'indie', i spent all night on google trying to find new indie bands that will be my new favourite band until they become mainstream even though i don't care for the music at all.
indie guy #2: whoa dude, you've got a lot of indy cred. i'm quite indie myself because i only like pre-label bands and i don't listen to anything mainstream.
indie guy #1: i know, we're so indy we even contract the word "independent" and "credibility"!

Bed Cred

Bed Cred is the reputation you gain among your peers for sexual prowess (or not, as the case may be). Bed cred is not gained only from bedroom sex, it can be gained from sex in a swimming pool, tennis court, or for extra points, bondage on ITV primetime, or other live tv shows. Interesting positions and/or use of equipment can get you extra cred, but size is the main factor - a 1 foot wonder will always beat a 1 inch wonder. Just remember, word has to get round, or no Bed Cred can be gained.

Josh lost almost all his bed cred when he split up with Jane and she admitted he only had 3 inches

shelf cred

I'm shocked that Amanda read the Twilight saga. She has a lot of shelf cred with me. Well...she used to anyway."

Whenever I feel like a reading a romantic novel, I ask Maggie. She's got the most shelf cred when it comes to love stories.

Rainbow Cred

When some virtue signaling person does something to appeal to other virtue signaling people supporting the LGBT+. For example, liberal Californians label their kids as trans and make a tic-toc video about how wonderful a parent they are.

Did you hear about Greg? He made a video of his son in a dress skipping around for Rainbow Cred... Now he is a super star to all the other southern California trans parents online.

relationship cred

How well you know someone that defines the appropriateness of the things you say to this person. You probably have high relationship cred with your bff but low relationship cred with the stranger in line ahead of you at the grocery store.

His joke was totally inappropriate given that we have low relationship cred.
