-ussy
''-ussy'' ( ) is an English-language suffix derived from the word ''pussy'' used to create novel portmanteau terms, usually referring to hole-shaped objects. The suffix has existed within LGBT slang in the form ''bussy'' (''boy pussy'') since the early 2000s, but was popularized in the late 2010s and early 2020s on social media platforms including TikTok. It was named the American Dialect Society's word of the year for 2022. History The suffix originated within LGBT slang in the forms ''wiktionary:bussy, bussy'' (''boy pussy'') and ''mussy'' (''man pussy''), referring to a man's anus, with these forms first appearing on the internet between 1999 and 2004. An April 2017 Tumblr post popularized the suffix with the term ''wikt:thrussy, thrussy'' (from ''throat''), and it was further spread as part of the "one wikt:thicc, thicc wikt:bih#Noun, bih" Internet meme that began to spread about a month later. A 2018 study of ''-ussy'' usage on Twitter as part of the meme identified 1,338 " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clussy
Coulrophilia is a paraphilia toward clowns. There is an associated subculture dedicated to it, and coulrophilia may intersect with coulrophobia, the fear of clowns. Community The coulrophilia community is related to the BDSM community, with both often using props and fetish fashion as a means for sexual arousal. Coulrophiliacs may consume pornography depicting people in clown costumes, or may use such costumes and clown personas in sex. Some self-described coulrophiliacs have cited the silliness and lack of seriousness displayed by clowns as a point of attraction, while others have stated that they enjoy erotic humiliation. Notable clown sex workers include Hollie Stevens, Miss Quin, and Sugar Weasel. Members of the community may communicate online, using forums, websites, and subreddits. Since 2017, the term ''clussy'' (a portmanteau of the word ''clown'' with the ''-ussy'' suffix) has been used online by people attracted to clowns. Coulrophilia may intersect with coulrophobi ...

Blend Word
In linguistics, a blend (sometimes called blend word, lexical blend, portmanteau or portmanteau word) is a word formed from parts of two or more other words. At least one of these parts is not a morph (the realization of a morpheme) but instead a mere ''splinter'', a fragment that is normally meaningless. In the words of Valerie Adams: In words such as ''motel, boatel'' and ''Lorry-Tel'', ''hotel'' is represented by various shorter substitutes – ''otel, tel'' or ''el'' – which I shall call splinters. Words containing splinters I shall call blends.Adams attributes the term ''splinter'' to J. M. Berman, "Contribution on blending," ''Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik'' 9 (1961), 278–281. Classification Blends of two or more words may be classified from each of three viewpoints: morphotactic, morphonological, and morphosemantic.Elisa Mattiello, "Blends." Chap. 4 (pp. 111–140) of ''Extra-grammatical Morphology in English: Abbreviations, Blends, Red ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pride Month
LGBT Pride Month is a month, typically in June, dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States. Modern-day Pride Month both honors the movement for LGBT rights and celebrates LGBT culture. History Origins The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City. Activists Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Stormé DeLarverie are credited for inciting the riots, though Johnson disputes her involvement. The year after the riots, the first pride marches were held in several US cities. The march in New York City, aimed to celebrate the "Christopher Street Liberation Day", alongside parall ...

Latte Art
Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring microfoam into a shot of espresso and resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the latte. It can also be created or embellished by simply "drawing" in the top layer of foam. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. This, in turn, is limited by the experience of the barista and quality of the espresso machine. The term also applies to other beverages containing milk foam, such as cappuccino and hot chocolate. History Latte art developed independently in different countries, following the introduction of espresso and the development of microfoam, the combination of crema (which is an emulsion of coffee oil and brewed coffee) and microfoam allowing the pattern; it presumably was initially developed in Italy.David Schomer describes pitcher-shaking in latte art as "quite standard in the world of Italian espresso p ...

Barista
A barista (; ; from the Italian/Spanish for "bartender") is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. Etymology and inflection The word ''barista'' comes from Italian where it means a male or female " bartender" who typically works behind a counter, serving hot drinks (such as espresso), cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks. Prieto (2021) shows that the word ''barista'' has been documented since 1916 in both Spanish and Italian. The native plural in English and Spanish is ''baristas'', while in Italian the plural is ''baristi'' for masculine (literally meaning "barmen", "bartenders") or ''bariste'' for feminine (literally meaning "barmaids"). Application of the title While the title is not regulated, most coffee shops use the title to describe the preparer of coffee and operator of an espresso machine. Baristas generally operate a commercial espresso machine, and their role is preparing and pulling th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
