Usual pronounciation / Chinese pinyin: tiān, Common error in pronunciation by uninformed English-speakers: Tee-ANN / Tee-AWN.
Can refer to sky, field, cosmos, heaven, or forehead in Chinese. Is usually used in conjunction with Lei in a name. Lei means thunder in Chinese. Coincidentally, the bottom part of the word 雷(Léi) is 田, which is pronounced tián. The pronunciation 'tián' can also refer to 甜, meaning sweet.
Of course, all of this only applies to Chinese.

Jo: I met a girl named Tian today and decided that I should research her name.
Kerwin: Great idea! Once you're done, you should totally research every other kid's name in the school and post it on Urban Dictionary dot Com!
Jo: Will do! Thanks Kerwin.

Jun 4 Word of the Day
The phenomenon of having to come out as bisexual to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your sexuality was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.
"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

Tian is a super good looking male or female. S/he is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and super smart. Although they hide it with their typos and silly sense of humor, they are probably the smartest person you will ever meet in your life. Being tall, dark, and handsome/beautiful, this person is the partner of your dreams. ;)
Person 1: Who is that????
Person 2: That’s Tian!
Person 1: TIAN??? *in a super surprised and slightly impressed voice* she’s soooo cool and hot
Person 2: OMG you’re so right. I’m so aroused.

an acronym for
This
Is
Awkward
Now
said in times of awkwardness; particularly in gaps of dialogue in a conversation. the 'tian factor' becomes more intense as the number of people involved in the conversation inncreases. However, this usually stops at around 5 people, as one person will usually laugh at the silence.
This word is good for saying to another friend (who knows what it means) during a 'tian', as the other people will most likely not know what it means.
