Tenderqueer 

The other definition is accurate but the aesthetic mention of cottagecore was overkill.
I used to be roommates with a tenderqueer, when her girlfriend stole from me and I flipped out she told me I was “projecting my traumatized past.” I left the household because she called a house meeting and tried to micromanage how I dressed because I kept turning the heat up in winter, rather than just asking me to keep the heat to whatever boundary they wanted. Keep in mind they were an unemployed trust fund kid so they weren’t paying the gas bills.

tenderqueer 

A personality designation used typically by lesbians, bisexuals, pansexuals, softbois, and nonbinary folks to indicate a preference towards enforcing radical vulnerability, i.e., taking on crying, pastel colors, endless ranting over every single feeling and minor slight ever to an unconsenting audience, and obnoxious trends such as "flowercore" and cottagecore" as an aesthetic. Often seen on platforms such as tumblr, Lex, and Instagram as a hashtag or descriptor to really show all of the other queers how much more delicate they are than them.

Includes, but is not limited to: Self-victimization, ineffective methods of self care, gaslighting, competitive oppression, poorly chosen Snapchat filters and Instagram stickers, and dumping the emotional labor of dealing with your own self on others.
Normal queer: I would prefer to not talk a lot about *traumatizing thing*. I am not enjoying this conversation.
Tenderqueer: You should be more vulnerable. This is just normal, it's radical praxis to let these feelings out, despite not knowing me very well or contributing towards the conversation in a positive way. I'm so soft and tender and good about talking about myself. Let me tell you more about *traumatizing thing*.
Normal queer: I already told you no. Please respect my boundaries.
Tenderqueer: You never told me no, that never happened. I need to talk about these things for my own well being. I'm emotionally delicate. You're a bad friend for silencing me. I'm soft and gentle and I didn't do anything bad. In fact, I'm way more soft and gentle than you. You can tell because I'm wearing pink and use flower filters.
Normal queer: Why are you like this?
Tenderqueer: I'm a tenderqueer.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
