May 26 Word of the Day
"Bi wife energy" is a term that was coined through a song by the user @/cringelizard on Tik Tok to describe the energy that Misha Collins radiates, explaining it with the fact that he is married to a bisexual woman, Victoria Vantoch. The full song can be found on all music streaming services and YouTube.

People with bi wife energy are fiercely supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, their love for their spouse, if they have one, is strong and people sometimes assume they are queer.

In their first video about this, @/cringelizard referred to Misha as a "hetero guy", but amended in a later added verse that the actor does not like labels.

The term "bi wife energy" can be used for people of all genders, regardless of relationship status, although "bi husband energy" has also been used in several videos across Tik Tok.

Lyric excerpt:

(Verse 2)
Now sometimes people assume I'm queer
And I have to say, hey! just a straight guy here
But I get it a lot, and I don't mean to be cruel
It's just that my wife is a bisexual

(Chorus)
Bi wife energy
He has bi wife energy
BI wife energy (yeah)
He has bi wife energy
"You know Misha Collins?" "You're talking about that actor, right? The one that radiates bi wife energy?"

"Amy Santiago has so much bi wife (bi husband) energy!"

To read without commenting or contributing, therefore effectively invisible to the rest of the group or community. Generally recommended for joining any forum so that you can observe rules, attitudes and prominent personalities without jumping in and breaking a rule, making an ass of yourself, or asking a question about something obvious that you would have learned for yourself if you’d paid attention in the first place.

Online equivalent of attentive listening before speaking; potentially the solution to all Internet faux pas.
