Internet and Modern Slang
C
Catfishing
Catfishing refers to the practice of creating a fake online persona to deceive or manipulate someone into a romantic or sexual relationship. This typically involves using someone else's photos, fabricating personal information, and engaging in online interactions under this false identity. Catfishing can occur on social media platforms, dating apps, or any online communication channels.
Cuck
A cuck, short for cuckold, is a man whose partner is sexually unfaithful, often with his knowledge or consent. In modern usage, particularly online, it's sometimes used as an insult to imply weakness or submissiveness in a man.
S
Scissoring
Scissoring is a sexual practice typically associated with lesbian or female same-sex encounters, where two partners interlock their legs and rub their genitals together for mutual stimulation. This activity can involve various positions and movements, with the goal of achieving sexual pleasure through genital-to-genital contact.
Sexting
Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages, photos, or videos via digital devices, typically smartphones. It's a form of sexual expression and intimate communication that has become increasingly common with the widespread use of mobile technology and dating apps.
Sliding into DMs
"Sliding into DMs" is a modern slang term that refers to the act of initiating a private conversation with someone on social media, typically with romantic or sexual intentions. "DM" stands for "direct message," which is a private messaging feature on many social media platforms. The term "sliding" implies a smooth, casual approach to starting the conversation.
Spitroasting
Spitroasting refers to a sexual act involving three people, where one person (in the middle) performs oral sex on one partner while simultaneously being penetrated from behind by another partner. This term is derived from the visual similarity to the way meat is roasted on a spit.
Squirting
Squirting refers to the expulsion of fluid from the urethra during sexual arousal or orgasm in some women. While often confused with female ejaculation, squirting typically involves a larger volume of clear, diluted urine, whereas female ejaculation produces a smaller amount of milky fluid from the Skene's glands.
Swipe Right/Left
"Swipe right/left" refers to a gesture used in many mobile dating applications to indicate interest or disinterest in potential matches. Swiping right on a person's profile typically expresses attraction or a desire to connect, while swiping left indicates a lack of interest. This action has become a ubiquitous part of modern dating culture and is often used as shorthand for making quick judgments about potential romantic or sexual partners.
