Tentch Wench: in a single glance, all notions of doubt in her mind were cast aside. The feeling within her heart began as a trickle, like that seeping from the virginal crevices of an as-yet undiscovered mountain spring. It gurgled and bubbled until it frothed into her throat and stomach, finally exploding with the strength of a waterfall. He was just as much in love with her as she was with him.

Bystander: Her writing is so tentch.

The Tenth Dentist 

Someone who disagrees with something that is widely accepted by others, seemingly for no reason. The word comes from toothpaste advertisements, which often claim that "Nine out of ten dentists" recommend using their brand of toothpaste.
Mark: "I was making plans with the boys, but Adam kept arguing about all of our plans even though everyone else was on board."

Craig: "Man, the tenth dentist really had to go and ruin the fun for everyone, huh?"
The Tenth Dentist by dKoschei August 15, 2019
an individual who understands that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
"Health care isn't mentioned in the constitution, so the people of the States - and not the Federal Government - have the right to make their own decisions about how they want to receive and allocate funds for health care."

"What about voting rights, product safety codes and the federal highway system?"

"The people of the States understand that the constitution does not prohibit voting rights, which are reserved to the people. Safety awareness and protection, as well as highway construction and infrastructure maintenance have been provided by private individuals, and entities without necessitating interventions from the federal government."

"So you're a tenther then."

"Absolutely."

Tenthead 

A word denoting a typical liberal, likely to support the Democratic party without question and soften the edge of any leftist movement that threatens the establishment. Derives from the desire for the American parties (Democrats in particular) to be 'Big Tent'.
Tentheads often try to disarm any sort of radical movement in the name of 'keeping peace' and then go on to cry about needing the kind of change those radical movements would have brought.

Also synonymous with 'Shitlib' and 'Libtard' (though Tenthead is more often used in leftist circles.)
Hillary Clinton is such a tenthead.

Fucking tentheads ruin any movement that actually wants to bring about radical change.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
