Hegemonormativism

A variant of officionormativism that centers specifically on hegemonic discourses—the dominant cultural, political, and intellectual frameworks that hold power in a given society. The hegemonormativist treats whatever is mainstream, widely accepted, or institutionally powerful as automatically correct, and views any challenge to hegemony as irrational or deviant. This bias operates across domains: political orthodoxy, cultural norms, academic paradigms, and media narratives. It naturalizes existing power structures by equating dominance with truth, making it difficult to even conceive of alternatives. Hegemonormativism is the comfortable default of those who never question the air they breathe.
Example: “She never questioned capitalism, liberal democracy, or the mainstream media—hegemonormativism had made the dominant order feel like reality itself.”

Hegemonormativity Theory

A variant of officionormativity theory, focusing specifically on hegemonic discourses—the dominant frameworks, narratives, and worldviews that structure what can be said and thought in a given society. Hegemonormativity treats these dominant discourses as natural, universal, and self‑evident, making alternative perspectives invisible or unintelligible. The theory examines how hegemonic narratives maintain power by presenting themselves as simply “common sense,” and how they delegitimize challengers not through evidence but through the sheer weight of taken‑for‑grantedness. It is a tool for understanding how orthodoxy reproduces itself.
Example: “The idea that markets are naturally efficient was so ingrained in economics that alternatives seemed unthinkable—hegemonormativity theory, where the dominant discourse becomes invisible as discourse.”
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
