Dandere, oftenly confused with kuudere, is a common anime trope used to describe people who are often quiet and extremely shy towards people they like. Despite this, once they do start to conversate (usually awkwardly) with the one they admire, they become more open and less shy.
The reason this is confused with the definition kuudere is because both tropes hardly talk, and occasionally show their more open side. A kuudere is someone who is often emotionless and clueless, but will sometimes show their loving and kind/sympathetic side.

A character that is a dandere: Hinata Hyuga from Naruto.
A character that is a kuudere, not a dandere: Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats!
dude: "ahahaa, *insert name here* is such a dandere. she hardly talks but she's for some reason really nice and open to me. rarely, though."

dude 2: "man, you are so lucky."
Dandere by iiToxicMinded November 28, 2016
Someone who has a shy and typically meek personality but who can become bolder and more open toward their love interest if made to feel comfortable enough.
"Dandere" is a combination of two Japanese terms: “danmari” (keeping silent), and “dere-dere” (to be lovey-dovey). The dandere is a popular character trope in anime.

dargeresque 

NOT related to Homestar Runner. inspired by Henry Darger.

An extremely personal (and often extremely time consuming) body of work--usually of the creative variety and often extensive/sprawling in its execution--which was intended purely for personal edification, with no apparent intention of the work in-question ever being shared with anyone in any meaningful way.

The choices, language, idioms, imagery and/or motifs employed are often so deeply personal to the original creator that they have little if any coherent meaning to any other viewer, who is/are likely to only gain access to the work itself after the creator has died or gone missing.
My friend has been trying their hand at automatic writing lately. I snuck a peak when they weren't looking, and it was completely dargeresque. not a single sentence made any sense to me, but my friend really seemed to be getting a lot out of it in spite of that.

"she is so dandere!"
Dandere by iNsANiTY-chan June 20, 2016
A great emperor from another universe, unknown to almost everyone. Darrere mostly keeps a lot of things about him secret. His goals are mostly impossible, but he will always stay determined until the end.

Don't mess with him or his friends and family or you're going to regret it. It's hard to talk to Darrere because he's quite shy. If he opens up, he can talk quite a lot.
Person a: who is that over there in that corner?

Person b: just don't mind him, that's Darrere.

Person a: xhy do I need to ignore him?
Person b: he will be mostly quiet, buy if mess with him, you're dead.
I'm a little dandere

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
