To "wax poetic" means to become increasingly verbose and romantic in speech. To become more and more like a poem.
"Wax" = increase, "wane" = decrease.
It has nothing to do with vinyl records and bullshit hip-hop, "yo."

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

To speak or write about something in a highly eloquent or verbose manner. Comes from "wax" meaning "grow" or "become" as in the waxing and waning of the moon, thus "to wax poetic" is equivalent to "to grow poetic." Thus "to wax poetically" doesn't really make sense, as it would mean "to grow poetically," which isn't the same as "to grow poetic."

To expound on something in prose like language. Wax as in the "waxing moon" means to increase, *not* originally a reference to vinyl.
She was prone to wax poetic about her childhood as a vagabond in Mexico, explaining in prose like detail how she and her mother lived out of their rusted old Chevy pickup truck.

To speak in a very eccletic and influential manner. The term probably comes from the usage of the term wax, which is another name for vinyl records meaning that it is recorded and musical, and poetic, which obviously refers to the stylized nature of the speech.
Yo I don't want to wax poetic on y'all about the nature of hip-hop 'cause you's minds are too ignant to comprehend the complex theories I be spittin. Ya heard?
