G-rated

(Originally referred to the American film-rating system, in which "G" stands for "general admission".)

1. Appropriate for all ages, with no offensive content such as violence, drug use, profanity, or sex acts.

2. Sanitized or altered to remove offensive content.

1. Just because a movie is G-rated, that doesn't mean it's a kiddie show: ever see _The Sound of Music_?

2. I'd better tell you the G-rated version of what went on at the school dance; my mom is probably listening in!

AC/DC

A hard-rock band from the 1970s. Subject of many rumors related to Satanism, partly because of their song titles (e.g., Highway to Hell) and partly because of their name (wrongly believed to stand for "AntiChrist, Devil's Child").

Actually, I've heard that AC/DC took the name from a label on one member's vacuum cleaner.

arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.

mys

An informal Swedish term for coziness; comfort and relaxation, especially at home. Not necessarily sexual, despite the way some Swedes use the word online: Cuddling on the couch with a partner is still _mys_, even if neither person wants to go further. Sitting by a fireplace and reading a favorite book is also _mys_, even if you're alone and don't have sex on your mind.

Det var synd att din kille inte kunde skilja på hångel och mys. (It's too bad that your boyfriend couldn't tell the difference between making out and getting cozy.)
