Allochronism 

Denies the simultaneous existence of the ethnographic object and the subject (observer and observed), and thus, represents the placement of the object in another time. Coined by anthropologist Johannes Fabian in "Time and the Other"
The perception of primitive art in the Western context has many moral-aesthetic dilemmas, that upon investigation can help use to understand native aesthetic allochronisms in ourselves and the Other.

The third, exciting instalment of the franchise that brought you no homo and no hetero.
A statement used to make it clear that any compliment is meant as just that, and is in no way intended to be sexual, regardless of the gender of the speaker or the listener. The etymology comes from allo/allosexual, a word used by asexuals to describe a person that is not asexual (ie someone who regularly experiences sexual attraction)
(person a (male) meets person b (female) and person c (male))
Person a: Hey, I haven't seen you guys in ages! Heck! you're so fit now, been hitting the gym? No Allo.
