Get the TESSITORE mug.Italian, Vital Function Parasite, A big glob of shit that; instead of taking the regular course down and out, it instead moves up, strangling as many vital and necessary parts and functions as it can.
Hey Jimmy, I heard a bunch of Iraq contractors are suffering from a Tessitore. The big piece of shit just keeps moving up on them strangling every vital function it encounters.
Yea Allan, I knew a bunch of guys at the Ice Company in Jacksonville who suffered for years with Tessitore. Like other parasites it seems to be a nuisance at first and then grows until it strangles its host from the inside out.

Get the Ava Tessitore mug.A person suffering from Atypical Anorexia (AAN) must show body dissatisfaction, intentional restrictive behavior, and fear of gaining weight while maintaining a BMI of <18.5 and typically fall within the normal to the overweight range.
HAES-supportive nutritionists, wellness advisors, and other non-physicians from within the industry have bastardized the diagnosis of AAN while attempting to free their clients from “diet culture” and encouraging those to eat “what you want, whenever you want”. This trend harms the person by not acknowledging the self-destructive behaviour inherent in bingeing and using food for pleasure. Many consider this a misclassification of Eating Disorders, primarily Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), in an attempt to separate themselves from the stigma and shame related to gluttony and overindulgence. Unfortunately, this is at the expense of those who truly suffer from AAN since they are already underrepresented in medical literature and considered not severe enough for treatment.
Recently, Tess Holliday declared she was diagnosed with Anorexia at around 350lbs. In contrast to her claims, her social media features a plentitude of sweets, cakes, and takeout consumed on a weekly basis without shame. Such a false diagnosis of Atypical Anorexia is coined as Tessorexia Nervosa. Often individuals who are suffering from Tessorexia claim to be in recovery from Anorexia and any attempt to modify their diet would trigger a relapse causing them to waste away.

I suffer from Tessorexia Nervosa! I’m in recovery from Anorexia! Don’t talk to me about my diet or I’ll starve myself again and it will be your fault!

Get the Tessorexia Nervosa mug.An eating disorder claiming to be "Anorexia Nervosa" that objectively fails to meet actual DSM-V criteria due to lacking the required "intense fear of weight gain", and of not being medically "underweight".
Tessorexia can be distinguished from "OSFED" or the Atypical Anorexia classification sub-type (which do not have the "underweight" requirement) in that a specific diagnosis of "Tessorexia" requires one to also meet four additional (non-DSM) criteria:
1) Seeking to further one's social media status,
2) Attempting to stay culturally relevant to one's Fat Acceptance and Body Positivity followers,
3) Appropriating "anorexia" from skinny pro-ana girls (since anorexia sounds sexier than "OSFED"),
4) Positioning one's self to silence critics by proclaiming one is a "recovering anorexic" in contrary to their Health at Every Size beliefs.

Tessie: I didn't eat (a whole cake with my picture on it) for three days so I could be lovely. I just let all my social media followers know that I'm now officially a recovering anorexic.

Get the Tessorexia mug.In music, this refers to the best-sounding and most comfortable range for a singer (or an instrument), to the color and quality of the voice.
A singer's tessitura depends on where their voice sounds the strongest (and most comfortable);
Sopranos and tenors sound the strongest and most at ease in their high notes but weaker in their low notes;
Mezzo-sopranos and baritones sound weaker and less comfortable in their high notes but strongest and most comfortable in mid-range and strong in their low notes;
Contraltos and basses sound the strongest and most comfortable in their low notes and weaker in their high notes.

Contraltos and basses sound the strongest and most comfortable in their low notes and weaker in their high notes.
Tessitura is a good determiner of voice type; range alone does not tell where a voice sounds its best and vocal color on its own does not determine either of those.
Sopranos and tenors generally sound bright, contraltos and basses generally sound dark, and mezzo-sopranos and baritones are of medium color. But a singer can sound as bright and sunny as a soprano and have a contralto tessitura or another can sound like a baritone yet have the tessitura of a tenor.
Sarah Brightman has a bright, lightweight voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Allison Crowe has a heavy, rather dark voice and the tessitura of a soprano.
Idina Menzel's voice is lightweight, has a bright color and the tessitura of a mezzo-soprano.
Annie Lennox has a dark, heavy voice and a contralto tessitura.
