courriel 

1) A personal email message, as opposed to a business or commercial email message.
2) A love letter, billet doux, or personal missive sent electronically.

In English, this word was adopted from French due to the lack of distinction between personal and business email usage; the French word simply means "email". In 2003, the Académie Française (French Academy) chose "le courriel" - pronounced "koo ryehl" - as the official French word for "email," but that does not necessarily mean the French person on the street uses it regularly. As noted in the second definition, in English the word can imply a romantic or deeply personal message.
I received a few unexpected courriels today from friends, all of which brightened my day.

Current thing

A particular topic dominating news headlines and social network conversations, causing passionate arguments, forcing people to take sides, and breaking up relationships as if it were the most important thing to have ever happened, only to suddenly disappear and be replaced with a different topic that will be treated equally.
Bob: I support the current thing!

Mary: Shut up you racist, you should be opposing it!

Cue shitty footage of some male reporter harassing baddie at their place of residence.

ChurroFeast 

A popular animator on YouTube, a popular designer on Toyhou.se

They get into drama constantly but it’s their own fault for not wanting to apologize for their wrongdoings, and also encouraging their fans to harass people via their Toyhou.se “blacklist” and Discord server(s). Mostly because they’re a coward who doesn’t want to confront problems that they created.

They befriend people, give them a false sense of security, use them, and them block / ghost / abandon them out of the blue with no explanation. Then they will do one of two things (sometimes both): 1. Pretend the person doesn’t exist, but at the same time subtly copy parts of their personality / characters to fuck with the person’s head. (Example: using the person’s deadname as their own name to make the person uncomfortable on purpose. Their excuse is, “You can’t own a name”, fully knowing what they’re doing is very fucked up.) Or, 2. Make up lies about the person, slander their name, encourage their fans to harass the person via Toyhou.se “blacklist”, and above all refuse to communicate their issues directly with the person. (They would rather be petty and immature.)

They like to make people uncomfortable on purpose, and then play the victim when confronted for it. Their fans look up to them, and refuse to acknowledge that they did anything wrong. Their fans are usually very gullible and have no idea that they are defending a manipulator.
Person 1: I like ChurroFeast’s animations and designs.
Person 2: You know they’re not a good person right?
Person 1: Wait really?
Person 2: Yeah, we were friends for a really long time, but they blocked me one day and started rumors about me. They won’t even tell me why. I was always supportive of them, even when they were in the wrong, because I valued our friendship.
Person 1: Wow, I’m so sorry. You definitely didn’t do anything wrong. I’ll stop supporting ChurroFeast.
