Transsexual and/or transgender people. Good word for allies who think other words sound clinical or awkward.

Anxenia

The feeling of anxiety that a host has when entertaining company because one is so concerned with making sure everybody is comfortable and happy.

Portmanteau of "anxiety" and "xenia" (the Greek concept of hospitality).
"Parties are more fun when the hosts aren't letting anxenia get the best of them!

pixel paper

Synonymous with electronic ink displays used in e-readers like the Kindle or Nook but easier to pronounce.
I'm happy to hear that pixel paper is getting cheaper! Maybe I can afford an e-reader!

glot'al

The correct way to pronounce "glottal" is with a glottal stop. That way it's practically onomatopoeia.
A: "What's a glot'al stop, anyway?"
B: "You just made one."

HSU

Stands for "Hills, Stairs, and Umbrellas." Definitely not "Humboldt State University," which is wrong.

The northernmost California State University, friendly people, great weather (if you like rain), gigantic redwoods ON CAMPUS, great hiking ON CAMPUS, we walk and bike everywhere... we're kind of a bubble here.
"I went to HSU because it's the farthest from LA without out-of-state tuition."

princess boy

princess boy

Little boys who go against traditional male gender roles and who may have an interest in wearing women's clothing and jewelry as children.

Analogous to tomboy and similar to the word "sissy," but meant to be positive and used by people who support how children express themselves. Young children shouldn't be labeled by adults (as straight/queer/cisgender/trans) before they can self-identify.

Coined, perhaps, by author Cheryl Kiladavis in her book, "My Princess Boy".
This is my son: he's a princess boy. Maybe he'll be my daughter someday, but that's up to him. Or her.

stadium chant

Vocals recorded from large crowds, usually at sports events.
That stadium chant song you always hear is Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation!
