Reverse Somnophilia 

Reverse Somnophilia is a type of fetish which is equivalent to the role swap in a somnophilic situation. Unlike standard somnophilia, which is a fetish for sleeping/unconscious individuals and the role is being a predator, reverse somnophilia is actually the fetish of being the recipient of somnophilia, and the individual's role is being the victim. Someone in this fetish enjoys pretending to be asleep or actually being asleep while the somnophiliac partner satisfies both of their fetishes and both are aroused.
Girl: "Honey, I didn't want to tell you this, but I actually have reverse somnophilia."
Guy: "Wow really? That's so awesome, and I'm actually a somnophiliac so we'll both have fun and satisfy our fetishes from the same activity!"
Girl: "Ahh. I feel tired, I'll go get some sleep ;)"
Guy: "hehehe >:D"

somnophilia 

somnophilia: the sleeping princess syndrome, a paraphilia of the marauding/predatory type in which erotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on intruding on and awakening a sleeping stranger with erotic caresses, including oral sex, not involving force or violence from [Latin, somnus, sleep + -philia). There is no technical term for the reciprocal paraphilic condition of being the recipient, which occurs more readily in fantasy than in actuality. See also sleeping princess (or prince) syndrome; (adjective, somnophilic): the condition in which a person is dependent on intruding upon and fondling a partner who is a stranger asleep, or fantasizing doing so, in order to obtain erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
