Manosphere glossary

This manosphere glossary documents the more common terms of art, neologisms, and memes used by men's rights activists, pick-up artists, Men Going Their Own Way, and other denizens of the manosphere.

304
304 spells "HOE" on an upsidedown calculator, making it a euphemism for any girl that is not a virgin-until-marriage type.

49er
49er is a slightly below average girl (a "4" out of 10) who thinks she's hot (a "9" out of 10), because men are still willing to have consequence-free sex with her. She will refuse to sleep with a more deserving  even if he is above average because she can find a 9 or 10 Chad that's still willing to pump & dump. 49ers all want to get Chad or Tyrone "locked down" but will fail and end up married to a swarm of cats.

6666
The number of the beast Every woman's requirements. 6 foot tall, 6 figure income, 6 inch peen, 6 pack abs. If you have all 4, congratulations, you get to be an . If you only have 2-3, you get to be a . If you have one or none, you either learn how to be a pickup artist or you are doomed to be an .

Absolute Beginners
Absolute Beginners is a German community of s and s that congregates on various German incelospherian communities to discuss inceldom. They sometimes abbreviate themselves as AB's. It is one of the largest communities in the incelosphere alongside r/ForeverAlone.

All women are like that
In direct opposition to ', the assertion that all women are like that is an absolutist assertion that states ' are hard-wired to respond to certain situations in a certain way; and that, more specifically, if given the opportunity, they will tend to behave as manipulative, abusive, sociopathic, destructive, drama-oriented liars. To the extent that women differ from one another, it is in how and to what extent (rather than whether) they manifest these traits when they are allowed to do so.

Alpha
An alpha (or alpha male) is a high-status ' who gets all the ' he desires, because his controlling and socially-dominant personality is so alluring to females; alternately, an alpha may refer to a male's tall and muscular body type that all females (without exception) are irresistibly attracted to. Alphas sit at the top of the sexual ladder, shitting down on loser s and virgin s. Alphas are essentially marginally-less-assholish s; their "restraint" makes sex even easier for them.

Any alpha who meets all these attributes and yet fails to find sex was never really an alpha at all.

Alpha fux beta bux
Alpha fux beta bux is an alleged two-phase mating strategy in which a ' spends her youth riding the ' with the hot s before finally settling down with a boring but well-heeled ' (who, likely as not, will then get ed and eventually be taken for everything he's got in a ' settlement).

Alpha male of group
The alpha male of group (AMOG) is just that: the most '-y ' in any group. Because ' is a zero-sum game in which one males success is another males inceldom, the ''AMOGs "success" (read: stealing your ') means the total failure of every other '. AMOGING is the act of becoming the alpha male.

Alpha widow
An alpha widow is a female who has dated an ' in the past, and holds all men to this standard even if her ' has tanked due to age or children. If she has a  boyfriend or husband, she's unhappy in this relationship and will treat him like garbage, and he's nothing more than a placeholder until she can get her next alpha fix. Much like those females riding the , alpha widows aren't capable of genuine change and vacillate between blind attraction toward and cynical manipulation of their significant others.

Androphile
Androphiles are ' who pursue sexual relationships with other males, but reject effeminacy, and other aspects of the "'" gay movement. They act like s, but are attracted to males instead of females. The term was coined by The Spearhead's Jack Donovan, a self-described androphile.

Outside of the manosphere, androphile is a term describing any person who is attracted to men, including straight women, gay men, and anyone else who prefers men. It's a little outdated, but can be useful to describe the sexuality of trans or non-binary people.

Apex fallacy
The apex fallacy is a logical fallacy pioneered by s which proves that  aren't privileged in any way, because "privilege" (as proposed by s) is based solely on looking longfully at the gender disparity among those who lead society, rather than, say, other substantial statistical disparities between males and females such as the gender pay gap.

Average frustrated chump
An average frustrated chump (AFC) is a ', ', ', or any other ' who should be getting ' but isn't, because ' has destroyed s.

AWFL
An acronym for “affluent white liberal ”.

Bad boy
A bad boy is an ' who is an asshole to s, being keyed into the revelation that they will reward him with ' in spite of (or, as some would have it, because of) him being an asshole. Many manosphere sites support a false dichotomy between bad boys and s. Females' perceived preference for bad boys is common among self-described s, nice guys, , and s, who see this dynamic as the cause of their own sexual failures with females. Don't be surprised if they define bad boys '  behavior with heavy doses of racism and ''.

BDE
An acronym for “Big Dick Energy”. The loud and boisterous energy emitted by someone who has a colossal phallus and doesn't have to tell anyone about it. The energy speaks for itself. The Big Dick tells its own story.

Becky
A Becky is the opposite of a. Beckys are average-looking .

Beta
A beta is a male who is somewhat inept in relationships with females and thus doesn't get "enough" ', because he isn't controlling confident enough to be an ', because he isn't assholish enough to be a ', or maybe because he doesn't buy into all this ' shit at all. (At least they aren't s.)

Note that this is not the way "beta males" work in where they are the "second in command" to alpha males and may fight to take their place.

Beta uprising
The beta uprising is predicted to happen when s and s become filled with ' and collectively commit acts of violence, thereby intimidating women into being less ' and giving betas and s a chance. In other words, an Incel Bolshevik revolution. So far, several men (most famously Elliot Rodger, and Christopher Harper-Mercer) have committed mass murder out of sexual frustration, but none of them have sparked a "beta uprising" — in fact, many of these incidents have only galvanized support for feminism.

Black pill
This is a series of pessimistic ideas most prominent in the incelosphere. It is basically a fatalistic version of the  with the ideas of biological determinism and hopelessness at its core. The idea surrounding it is that the ' ' is a scam and that s do not attract '; instead, the most important factor is ' and physical traits. Taking the "black pill" is synonymous with coming to the realization that those who lack such traits will never be attractive to females, regardless of PUA techniques used, and should just give up.

In conspiracy theorist terms, the black pill occurs when people, confronted with the New World Order, break down into nihilism.

Blue pill
A blue pill is a person who hasn't woken up to the "fact" that society discriminates against, not females; to blue pill is to do the same. The term is a reference to The Matrix, in which taking the blue pill means remaining part of the sheeple by holding conventional views and believing nothing is wrong, while taking the  means waking up.

Body count
Body count is the number of s that a  has had sex with. All women lie about this; every attractive girl has a body count in the hundreds before settling down with a , insisting that she only had 4-5 guys before him.

Branch swinging
Branch swinging or monkey branching is the tendency of  to find their next romantic partner before officially breaking up with their current one ("don't let go of a branch until you've grabbed the next one").

Branned and Harris
When a pick-up artist makes a fool of themselves. 'Branned' refers to the the PUA getting consumed with themselves, 'Harris' is the English town the originator of the term came from. Used on old PUA websites.

Briffault's Law
Briffault's Law holds that "the ', not the ', determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place." The law was named after a British surgeon and social anthropologist. The term derives from a statement by Briffault: The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.

Outside the manosphere, this is regarded as a pseudo-law because Briffault himself did not state that it was a law, and because the statement is at best speculative, coming from Briffault's 1931 unreferenced book with only anecdotal evidence given. Since 1931, an enormous amount of detailed and nuanced research on primate societies has been published (by    and many others), leaving Briffault's book as little more than a dusty old tome.

Build a better beta
More extreme manospherians say that "lighter" sites (such as MMSL or Hooking Up Smart) are trying to build a better beta: encouraging  traits, but not to the extent that they actually threaten a marriage or relationship. Go  or go home!

Carol
Carol is the archetype of a ' who rode the ' when she was young and hot, then hit the  and now complains that she can't find a man.

Carousel

 * Also known as: Cock Carousel, Bad Boy Cock Carousel, Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel

The carousel is supposedly the period between the ages of roughly 18 and 30 in which a ' has sex with as many s as possible, preferably in a ' manner, after which they hit the ', panic, and attempt to marry a '.

Cat
Cats are the only companionship for any woman that wasn't hot/smart enough to lock down ' when she had the chance, but refused to settle for a '. A group of cats is known as a "clowder" for some reason nobody really knows; honestly, we think someone just made that up.

Cel
Cel or "-cel" is a suffix used (in combination) to explain the reason for one's "". The manosphere uses this term much more broadly than a dictionary would; it essentially refers to any significant period of time which a  has spent without. Types include: • 2 Presumably, a guy who stayed celibate long enough could be termed a Duracel.

Chad
The man, the myth, the legend. Chad (full name Chad Thundercock) is the archetypal  ; he and his girlfriend  are perennial objects of the manosphere's envy and resentment. Some denizens of the manosphere, particularly in Reddit's  community, display a nigh-homoerotic obsession with the guy. No really, read their fanfictions. His African American counterpart is "Tyrone," because of course that's his name. His Asian counterpart is sometimes called "Chang Thunderwang" or, if South Asian, "Chadpreet".

It's rather ironic that the manosphere and the subsequent alt-right chose someone with an apparent medical condition (mandibular ) as their über-alpha figure. Mandibular prognathism in humans is sometimes associated with inbreeding. While prognathism is not known to be associated with reduced cranial capacity among humans, it is among other hominins and other apes.

Cocky and funny
A  employed by s, involving imitation of confidence and a sense of humor by someone who understands neither.

Creep shaming
Creep shaming occurs when a ' rejects and/or comments on unwanted ual advances of a ' in a way that shames him, sometimes (though not necessarily) by calling him a creep. Making a big deal about creep shaming distracts people from whatever the male did and, thus, whether or not it was indeed creepy. Interestingly, many who attack direct forms of rejection such as creep shaming also attack indirect forms such as , suggesting the root problem is with the rejection itself.

Cuckold
A cuckold, or cuck, is a ' whose has been knocked up by an ' and who is forced to raise the result. This happens all the time (in reality, actual rates are 1-2% historically ). Numerous manospherians, including Reddit's  community as well as the ever-charming Roissy, have described being cuckolded as the male equivalent of being raped — ignoring, of course, that men can and do get raped. The shortened form of cuck typically implies racism a white beta being cuckolded by a black ', but has also become an all-purpose snarl word akin to "'." Within alt-right circles, cuck and the portmanteau cuckservative are snarl words for conservatives who aren't quite racist enough. Cuckservative was made famous in 2015 after Rush Limbaugh described critics of Donald Trump as "cuckolded Republicans", and allegedly used by Steve Bannon in reference to Jared Kushner. Someone who behaves in a cuckolded manner towards their own relatives is a .

The idea of being a cuckold is also a relatively common fetish for men, including uh, Roger Stone.

Damaged goods
Damaged goods is a misogynistic insult used against women who have had a large amount of sexual partners.

Dark triad
In psychology, the  refers to the three personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy; when one of the traits becomes extreme, it is referred to as a personality disorder. Emulating these disturbed traits is purported by manospherians to be the "secret" to the. To the denizens of the Manosphere, every is a

Display of higher value
A display of higher value (DHV) is any public behaviour which increases one's ' in the '.

Display of lower value
A display of lower value (DLV) is any public behaviour which decreases one's ' in the '.

Divorce
According to the manosphere, divorce is an inevitability in any marriage (at least if married to a ') and the means by which a ' steals a ’s hard-earned bank assets, house, kids, and so on.

Divorce rape
Divorce rape refers to the alleged harm inflicted upon a  after his wife (unjustly) ends their marriage. This term refers primarily to financial harm, such as the division of marital property, child support, and (commonly) maintenance. No MRA worth his fedora will ever admit that:
 * 1) Men typically do much better financially after a divorce as opposed to women (primarily because men continue to work and don't have as many costs, whereas women who don't start working suffer financial penalties),
 * 2) Comparing losing a bit of money to an actual sexual assault is a fucking terrible thing to do.

Dogpill
Be wary of women and dogs. The "dogpill" refers to the idea that women would rather commit bestiality with (male) dogs than have sex with a man other than . In response, some in the manosphere talk of the "reverse dogpill", 'ironically' suggesting that they would rather fuck (female) dogs as all women are bitches anyway.

Double blue pill
The "double blue pill" is using ideas to refute other blue pill ideas, as a reductio ad absurdum technique.

Dread game
Dread game (or just dread) is achieving greater emotional control over a relationship by threatening to end it or publicly violating its bounds. This is more commonly known as as relationship abuse by most people who aren't fucked in the head.

DTF
Someone is Down To Fuck when they're ready and willing to have. This one has usage outside of the manosphere.

Dual mating strategy
Dual mating strategy is used either as a synonym for ', or as a similar concept referring specifically to the expectation that a ' provide for an eeeevil s child/children conceived with an ' during her days riding the ''.

Egalitarian
Like ', egalitarian is a term frequently used when disdaining ', in phrases such as "if they really believed in equality they would call themselves egalitarian instead of " and "I think the feminists and MRAs are both wrong: I'm an egalitarian".

Eggless
Eggless refers to a woman who is too old to have children, and is thus supposedly doomed to remain sad, lonely, and single forever. The term comes from the erroneous belief that menopause occurs because the ovaries run out of eggs. The manosphere often correlate it with the Wall and believe that pregnancy is impossible beyond the age of 30 or 35.

Ephebophilia
Ephebophilia is the primary ual interest in older teenagers (generally age 15-19). The word is, however, used frequently to refer to any sexual attraction to underage teens in general because, apparently, that makes it completely different from and totally not like pedophilia.

Many manospherians view attraction to teenage girls as a totally natural biotruth; in their eyes, age of consent laws are an affront to "healthy male sexuality" — since, after all, women hit the  soon after reaching adulthood anyway.

Technically speaking, attraction to adolescents (hebephilia and ephebophilia) is not the same as pedophilia (attraction to children that aren't yet adolescents). All these terms also refer only to attraction to individuals of the appropriate age, not acting on such attractions. Thus someone who is physically attracted to underage females, but never acts on that attraction due to the recognition that doing so would be harmful and immoral, would still qualify as being an ephebophile (or pedophile if the individual they are attracted to is young enough).

Within the manosphere, the concept of being attracted to someone but not acting on it due to pesky morality is unfathomable, so Ephebophilia usually is viewed as referring to someone who not only is attracted to adolescences but wants to act on that attraction by having sex with them regardless of their age or the legality of the act. Thus the term is mostly used to justify statutory rape and sexual abuse while avoiding the stigma associated with "pedophilia".

Equalism
Equalism is an insurrectionist movement opposed to elemental bending implicit claim that s are not interested in true equality; "I'm not a feminist, I'm an equalist". It is used by people who subscribe to a variety of feminism that involves them not having to change their ways to any degree whatsoever and not to even have to suffer uncomfortable thoughts (as well as those who are afraid of the stigma that comes with the "feminist" label, though this is less common). Any feminism beyond this is considered by the manosphere to be radical feminism or  and perpetuated by social justice warriors.

Ethnicel
An ethnicel is a non-white person, usually male, whose inceldom is caused by their skin colour. Also called blackcel, currycel, or ricecel in case of respectively black incels, and South Asian and East Asian incels.

When someone in the manosphere talks about ry, they often refer specifically to white women cheating with black males, with there even being a term, Tyrone, for the black male whom women want to cuckold all white males with. Oddly enough, despite black males apparently being so irresistible they reliably convince women to cheat on their partners with them, one can still be a blackcel who is unable to get sex due to being black. How these two concepts are not mutually exclusive is a mystery for the ages.

False rape accusation


A false rape accusation occurs when a ' falsely claims that a ' raped her. MRAs maintain that false rape accusations are extremely common, used by women for petty revenge, for money and attention, or to avoid looking like a slut after that was actually consensual. This is in reality a rare occurrence, with an estimate of between 2-5% of rape accusations being false.

Femcel
A femcel is a woman who believes she's experiencing (involuntary celibacy). In the incelosphere, femcels are a minority. The male version of "femcel" is . The existence of femcels is rejected by some members of the incelosphere.

Feminazi


Feminazi is a self-explanatory snarl word for extreme , popularised by Rush Limbaugh. The term is common among MRAs and very common in "" circles, where it's used to describe feminists they don't like (which, in practice, means pretty much all feminists). Godwin's Law and its corollary apply.

Feminism


The manosphere divides feminism into two categories:
 * 1) Historical feminism, the old-fashioned kind of feminism (pre-1990s for politically liberal MRAs, pre-1960s for conservatives) which pushed for equality between ' and '. According to MRAs, gender equality has totally been achieved, so these feminists should just go the fuck away.
 * 2) "modern feminism" or sm, the current kind of feminism, in which females supposedly strip males of their rights by refusing to have  with the ones who deserve it.

Femiservative
A femiservative is a conservative supposedly allied with the  movement. The term is often used in the context of pornography debates, in which both conservatives and many feminists argue for more restrictions.

Femoid
An incel might refer to a or girl as a femoid, foid, or FHO, being a shortening of Female humanoid (Organism). The terms are commonly used at Incels.co. Like with many manosphere terms, this term may occasionally be appropriated by parodists, or people otherwise mocking the manosphere.

Fiona
Fiona is the archetype of a woman that keeps ' in the ' so she can take advantage of them while continuing to ride the .

Foreign women
In the manosphere, foreign women are ' who come from cultures which the manosphere thinks (very likely incorrectly) are untouched by ', and who are assumed to therefore be subservient to male demands. Foreign women are highly sought after, and are contrasted with . Some manosphere folks even claim that ' and '  aren't really that way — they just haven't experienced the magic of a foreign female yet. Right.

Frame
Frame is control of how another person (especially a ) perceives themselves. Frame is one of the ultimate  traits, and "always maintain frame!" is a common phrase from one would-be alpha  to another; in other words, "alphas" expect to be able to gaslight every person they ever meet, all the time.

Friendzone
A friendzone occurs when a ' is friends (shudder) with a ' without any , especially if the two were originally femalefriend girlfriend and boyfriend. The idea of  is apparently insufferable to many incels.

Of course, "we should just be friends" is usually a coded way for a female to tell a male that she doesn't want to date or have sex with him, whether or not she actually wants to be friends with him. Many who attack indirect forms of rejection such as friendzoning also attack more direct forms such as , suggesting that their real problem is with rejection itself.

Frivorce
Frivorce is the portmanteau of "frivolous" and "", and is used to describe almost all divorces initiated by a , regardless of cause.

Gamma
A gamma is another utterly needless category of. Gammas are either guys who "do not play the game" or ones who are very introspective and weird, depending on who you ask.

Game
Game or gaming is the (rather sleazy) art of peddled by s. Game involves manipulatively applying various conversational (and often pseudopsychological) "techniques" which are intended to break down the resistance of the target  (no, really) in order to make her more vulnerable to otherwise unwanted sexual advances.

"The game" is slang used to refer to the pimping of prostitutes and to its methodology; this meaning of the word dates back to at least 1898, with older usage referring simply to prostitutes ("Ladyes of the Game"), dating to the 17th century. These meanings are likely to have been the origin of its usage within the manosphere.

Game terminology: • 2

Game denialism
A belief that techniques are ineffective at sexually attracting women; or that they are just tricks for conning women into having, and won't lead to a meaningful relationship. According to s, "game denialism kills" because it leads men like Elliot Rodger to commit murder.

Gaycel
A gaycel is a homosexual who's experiencing (involuntary celibacy). Gaycels constitute a small minority of the incelosphere. Female gaycels sometimes call themselves "incelbians" or "lesbocels".

'Gina tingles
'Gina tingles ("'gina" being short for vagina) are what a ' allegedly experiences in the presence of an ', overriding all rational thought.

Go fuck ten other women
Go fuck ten other women is common advice from s to get over  and rejection. Why? Because having sex with ten females supposedly reminds a male that, and therefore no singular female is worthy of a male's attention.

Gun in the room
Sometimes also referred to as a loaded gun in the room; this phrase, common among s, is a euphemism for marriage with a .

Hamster
A hamster, otherwise known as a rationalization hamster, is a mythical creature manospherians invented to prevent females from having independent thought thought process that resides in females' brains and "runs in its wheel" to create rationalizations or justifications for their (illogical/immoral/capricious/destructive/slutty/'/') behaviors. It has become a meme, and indeed a counter- meme (see image).

Hard no
A hard no, coming from a , is the kind of no that actually means no, as opposed to all the kinds that don't. See also "".

HB
HB stands for "Hot Babe". This may be suffixed by their attractiveness rating, e.g. "HB10."

Herbivore men
Herbivore men, also known as grass eaters, are a recent phenomenon in Japan of eschewing social expectations to pursue relationships, marriage, or a family, concentrating instead on a single life. Men Going Their Own Way are obsessed with the herbivore men, whom they insist are part of their own movement, regardless of the differing social and cultural factors at play in Japan — even going so far as to speculate about why has such a notable impact in Japan. In fact, the social pressures to marry in Japan (and many other cultures) are very un-feminist and apply to both men and women, though males are somewhat better placed to defy these expectations.

Heightcel
A heightcel is a  who is incel because he is less than 6 ft tall, i.e., 85% of the Western World. Within the community, a short stature is typically considered a huge obstacle to picking up s.

Hephebo
A hephebo is someone who is both an  and hebephile. The female lesbian equivalent is a.

Hicel
A hicel is a "high-standards involuntary celibate" person. Supposedly, this means somebody with such high standards that no can achieve them. How the celibacy is "involuntary" when it's the result of a person's "high standards", we may never know.

Hypergamy
Hypergamy is the perceived tendency of ' to date, have with, and/or marry ' of a higher socioeconomic status than them, although it can also refer to a higher "". This is also commonly called "gold-digging" in more overtly low-brow and less pseudo-intellectual parlance. According to many in the manosphere, hypergamy is instinctual, and it is A Bad Thing, responsible for among so many suffering, low-status men.

It's worth noting that "hypergamy" is an actual scientific term, used in sociology to classify relationships where the male or female member of the relationship is of higher status (pertaining to a relevant variable, like formal education or income). Of course, even a cursory examination of studies using the term reveals that such relationships are not particularly common, let alone inevitable as maintained by MRAs.

In contrast to what many members of the manosphere believe (especially MGTOWs), the rate of hypergamy in females has decreased significantly in the developed world. This may be because of greater economic gender equality and because female hypogamy (dating males of lower social status) is less stigmatised.

Inceldom
The moment someone starts to identify as an incel, their celibacy becomes voluntary. Inceldom is the state of being "incelibate" or "incel", abbreviations of "involuntarily celibate", which is someone (usually ') who claims their inceldom is caused by "bad" genes, society, ', s, s, s, ', the black hole in the center of the galaxy, etc. The antonym of incel is '. While there are obviously many ordinary people who experience ual rejection, most male s tend to be childless permavirgins who exhibit a bizarre defeatist and ynistic worldview. For example, some s claim that it's "cruel" for  to have sex with some males while rejecting others, or to dress attractively while not being sexually available to every guy who's interested. In contrast, s often exhibit a misandristic worldview. In the manosphere, there are many different types of -s — but the majority believes that there's no such thing as a femcel, because shut up, that's why. The banned subreddit /r/incels defined "incel" as "someone who has unintentionally gone at least six months without a romantic or sexual encounter, is at least 21 years old, and is of any gender". The incelosphere can be found on Reddit's r/Foreveralone, 4chan's r9k thread, and Discord. Alek Minassian, the man accused of murdering 10 people on Toronto, Canada in 2018, is a self-described incel. Elliot Rodger also self-identified as an incel.

Incelospherian
An incelospherian, neoincel, or cybercel is someone who frequents the incelosphere, an umbrella term for the network of websites and forums that fosters an online subculture for incels. There are many non-English incelospherian communities, such as the Japanese Kakuhido, the Italian Forum of Ugly, and the German Absolute Beginners. The incelverse is a broader scope of the incelosphere that includes forums such as r/Foreveralone. The femcel equivalent of the incelosphere is sometimes called the femcelosphere.

Inspin
Inspin is short for "involuntary spinster", i.e. a woman who cannot find a man to settle down with. This is an attempt by the manosphere to create a mocking term equivalent to incel for women, but with the added insult that it is supposedly very easy for a woman to find a husband when she is young and hot but difficult for a man to get sex.

"It's over."
"It's over." is the , summed up in two words and spouted ad nauseam by s in incelosphere communities. Often replied with "it never began".

Javier
Javier is an archetype for the sort of exotic  with whom white female tourists have, and possibly start a relationship, while vacationing in the Latin America, Europe, or other popular destinations. The name comes from Javier Bardem, the actor who played a Brazilian businessman in the 2010 film Eat, Pray, Love.

Jorm
Used as an insult for a bad pick-up artist. Also used as a word for someone who panders to women. Mostly used on r/theredpill

Kakuhido
Kakuhido is a male Japanese. In the Japanese language, the term kakuhido is an acronym of "Revolutionary Alliance of Men whom Women find Unattractive".

KHHV
KHHV is an acronym for "kissless, hugless, handholdless, virgin", a.k.a., the most incel of incels. Sometimes used interchangeably with truecel.

Kino escalation
Kino escalation is a  technique in which a follows up on verbal  by touching a female, without seeking her permission, followed by increasing the amount and intimacy of the touching. (She won't notice it, honest!) "Kino" refers to the study of body motion and its perception.

Korephile
A korephile is a lesbian . The male equivalent is a pederast, while the gender-neutral equivalent is called a hebephile or. Alternative forms and spellings include corephile, corophile, cororast, corerast, kororast, korerast, coresexual, corosexual, and korosexual.

Last minute resistance
Last minute resistance (LMR) is something that the chosen ' of a ' says or does just before could occur, to indicate that no, she actually still doesn't want to have sex with him. Various  theories and techniques are devoted to overcoming this kind of last minute resistance and achieving something approximating consent so that the pick-up artist can carry on in the direction he's going.

Let's just be friends
"Let's just be friends" (abbreviated LJBF) is the dreaded curse uttered by a when banishing a  to the .

Locked Down
Marriage. It's a prison sentence for any true.

Looksism
Looksism is the belief that a person's physical appearance is the primary determinant of their attractiveness as a mate. Looksism is the polar opposite of .

Looks ladder
I never fucked a ten. Not once! But one night, I fucked five twos! That oughtta count for something.

The looks ladder is a measure of a person's physical attractiveness, with 10/10 (a.k.a., a dime piece) meaning very attractive and 1/10 meaning very unattractive. The resultant number is often used as a noun, sometimes numerator only (e.g. "last night I banged a 7"). The looks ladder shows not only a willingness to objectify both, but also a lack of creativity. The manosphere generally assumes their ratings of almost anyone to be objective truth. See also.

Love
Love is a strange, mysterious, otherworldly concept that is completely alien to virtually everyone in the manosphere. Some are convinced that it is a made-up concept that witches use to entrap and trick males, while others don't even seem to understand what exactly the strange word even means; incels seem to think that it's all about rather than gasp who you are inside, and s are convinced that being an asshole and making clumsy attempts at  will cause  to magically fall for them.

Loveshy
A Loveshy is a  with a purported social/psychological condition that renders them unable to pursue relationships or due to social anxiety, awkwardness, and shyness. The concept has been popularised by — and is most heavily associated with — Love-shy.com. Essentially, Loveshies are an even more self-pitying variation on incels with some added self-diagnosis and pseudopsychology.

Male/Female
In the ', male and female''' are often the preferred nomenclature for the sexes, as opposed to "man" and "woman", because the former terms better capture the sense that we're just animals driven by base instincts, and so demanding is purely natural. Often, males are "men" but females are "females"; for the sake of , we've used both male and female here.

The major exceptions appear to be (on the female side) '/',, and ; and (on the male side) ', ', and of course the .

Mancel
A mancel or malecel is a male member of the. Male heterosexuals constitute the majority of the incelosphere, but small minorities of s and s also exist.

Mangina
There's no need for sexist language. The term should be person-gina. A mangina is any pro- , or any male who is seen as collaborating with the perceived matriarchy. The term implies that the man has revoked his status as a "real man". (Manginas are also total s, too.) It is frequently used to attack any male who isn't stereotypically macho enough or doesn't share the MRA movement's hostility toward . It may also be used by MRAs, MGTOWs, PUAs, and loveshys/incels to refer to men outside said movements who think that said movements are full of shit.

Ironically, many of the people who use this term insist that trans women are men.

Manosphere
The manosphere is a nigh-endless prairie where dozens of strange, abbreviated creatures graze on the grass of masculinity. Prime beasts include MRAs, PUAs, and MGTOWs.

Marcel
Marcel is a portmanteau of married/celibate. Marcel is somebody who is inceldom in marriage. There are two implications here: first, that married people are somehow trapped in marriage together, even if it is sexless; and, second, that married persons should not be celibate, because their spouse should comply with their ual wishes.

Marriage 2.0
Marriage 2.0 is a neologism referring to marriage in the age of no-fault divorce. The supposed sequence of events that leads to Marriage 2.0 is, that after years of acting bitchy and withholding, an evil American  decides she's "unhappy," and proceeds to kick her husband out of his own house, claim half of his worldly possessions, alienate him from his children, collect "free" money every month in the form of alimony and child support, and jump into the bed of someone with better hair and optional tattoos. For bonus points, said female will likely throw in a provably false accusation of domestic abuse or child molestation; most research shows that this is likely to backfire in real-world divorce or custody cases, to the point where many lawyers will tell a battered spouse to keep quiet in the interest of a faster or more equitable split.

Married Man Sex Life
Married Man Sex Life (MMSL) is series of self-published, self-help books and an accompanying website by self-described "relationship counselor" Athol Kay. The series is for monogamous couples only, and is very popular in the manosphere. Considerably less nasty and bombastic than most literature, its central thesis differs from the latter in that the optimum marriage partner is a mixture of both ' and ' traits, and if you're a , it's because you aren't hitting the right balance. It is often used to put a false face on the community as a whole (who doesn't want a happy relationship?). As such, it is one of the prime vehicles for "converts" to the manosphere, and is heavily responsible for the influx of.

Matrix / "The Matrix is real"
A derivative of the "" meme, popularized in the early 2020s by Andrew Tate, and repeated by Internet personalities like Elon Musk, and David Icke. Notably, it seems to be a choice phrase to use when one gets caught breaking the law or promoting a scam.

Like the red pill meme, the origin is the 1999 science fiction film Manosphere propagators of the meme allude to the notion presented in the movie that everyone is living in a simulated reality, where (in a manner echoing other older conspiracy theories) people are being enslaved by a shadowy global elite. Unlike the movie, however, the shadowy powers running the Matrix are programming people to believe concepts anathema to the manosphere. Like, for instance, the scientific facts that transgender people, depression, and global pandemics are actually real. Things like climate change and (especially) feminism become tools that "the Matrix" uses to enslave the public.

A significant portion of the promotion of Tate's Hustlers University scam was purported advice on how to "escape the matrix", where Tate's appalling misogyny and hyper-masochism was married with a -style get-rich-quick "hustle" narrative.

As with the "red pill" meme, the phrase is often rather ironic in its usage. The concept of the "Matrix" in the actual movie is loosely based on the postmodernism "desert of the real" philosophies of Jean Baudrillard (which is, in part, a critique of the very sort of capitalism that people like Musk have embraced, and the very sort of hyper-consumerism that people like Tate endorse). The movie also was, as confirmed by the directors, a transgender allegory.

Men's rights movement
The men's rights movement is a movement that pushes for the rights of ' in Western society, which they perceive as discriminatory more against males than '. At the (mostly) benign end of the spectrum are ist groups and individuals that have some valid points to make (for example, on issues such as disparities in divorce outcomes and child custody, mental health stigmas, or enforced military service for males in some countries). However, these groups often play host to males with disturbing views about  and females in general. The more prominent men's rights groups, including incel communities, , and "" communities, are toxic dens of yny.

Men Going Their Own Way



 * Abbreviations: MGTOW, MGHOW (Man Going His Own Way), MGTOWer

Although it may sound like the title of a gay porn film, Men Going Their Own Way are actually a subset of MRAs who react to the feminazism and female supremacy they imagine to be going on in society by boycotting  altogether. So instead of having girlfriends or wives, they just congregate online to complain about how females are all such bitches and brag about how easily they could get laid if they wanted to (yes, really). Unlike incels, their celibacy is voluntary, though some do not even necessarily abstain from or dating but merely "refuse to surrender their will to the social expectations of women and society" in their interactions. Most people who aren't MRAs (and even some moderate MRAs!) wish that MGTOW would STFU, GTFO, and GTOW already.

Misandry
Misandry is hatred of ', which most MRAs purport is a characteristic of every feminist, especially s, all ' who don't succumb to, and  at large. They have a few small points in the differences in treatment, but they are still idiotic little babies who won't shut up about how it's "not fair", ultimately becoming like the SJWs and "feminazis" they purport to oppose. Genuine misandry is rare and confined primarily to the most extreme divisions of radical feminism.

Misandry bubble
The misandry bubble theory, first proposed in an article by a blogger called "The Futurist", posits that the current state of ' and ' would reverse itself by 2020. According to the article, the "misandry bubble" would "pop" due to four factors: men taking the , the advent of sexual entertainment technologies (like virtual reality and s), an exodus of from the West to countries uncorrupted by feminism, and men going Galt. Even though a reversal of feminist advances did not happen, and even though the majority of men don't particularly care about feminism or consider themselves oppressed, most denizens of the manosphere were unrealistically optimistic about the popping of the misandry bubble, reminiscent of many religious fundamentalists' confidence that the second coming is actually going to happen. Now little MRAs, simply wanting something to happen doesn't make it happen.

Misogyny
Misogyny is hatred of women, which nobody in the manosphere has. Nobody. If what someone in the manosphere says or does looks like misogyny, sounds like misogyny, and feels exactly like misogyny, then it's clearly not misogyny.

Modern Woman
Modern women are the women ruined by the lies of 3rd wave feminazism. They are experts on everything except what could make them a good wife. They offer nothing in a relationship beyond their bodies, which often aren't even that great. They all ride the, until they inevitably end up as a single mom to 50 cats.

Natural
A natural is a ' who can engage in casual or satisfying relationships with ' without adopting a shitload of ynistic concepts and evo psych woo. In the manosphere, the term is used as a snarl word to invalidate these males experience, as it isn't "natural" for the majority of ' males''. People outside of the manosphere routinely refer to naturals as "functioning adults who possess a basic level of human decency towards the opposite sex".

Nearcel
Short for nearly celibate, a nearcel is a person who is unable to satisfy their ual urges often enough, making them one step above incels. Poor souls.

Negging
Negging is an ubiquitous "" technique in which the  entices his by treating her like shit. Because that's what females want, right? While this may sound an awful lot like , it's completely different. Honest.

Next
In the manosphere, next is used as a verb (awkwardly, although not as awkward as using "Shatner" as a verb), implying rejection in either a sexual or relationship sense. Often used out of passive-aggressiveness or spite, and fitting in with the MRA/PUA notion that power lies in the ability to reject someone.

Nice guy
A nice guy is somebody who is not mean to , contrasting with s. "I'm a nice guy — how come girls don't want to sleep with me?" is a familiar lament among frustrated and entitled incels and s and the phrase nice guy is most often used as a pejorative for males who play this card. The problem here is that the guy usually isn't as "nice" as he thinks he is, and this delusion can mask anything from token shows of chivalry in the hope of ual favours to more overtly stalkerish and passive-aggressive behaviour toward females.

Even Isla Vista killer Elliot Rodger described himself as "the perfect guy" and "the supreme gentlemen," all the while referring to all females as "sluts," shortly before embarking on his violent rampage.

Noncel

 * Also known as: normie

A noncel is somebody who is not ; i.e. a  who has regularly.

Not all women are like that.
"Not all women are like that." is a common and reasonable response to manospheric (especially ') claims that all women are evil '-hating bitches. hear this so often that they abbreviate it to NAWALT to dismiss any criticism of this kind, as if this refutes it. In fact, the counter-assertion that, yes,  has become a common manosphere buzzword in itself.

Ironically, "not all men are like that" or "not all are like that" have become common defences within the MRA community when faced with severe criticism, especially in the aftermath of the yny-inspired Isla Vista massacre of May 2014. This in turn prompted the "#YesAllWomen" social media hashtag used by females to share experiences of sexism and sexual victimisation.

Omega
An omega is a male who has no prospects whatsoever of getting laid. Omegas are below s, s, and every other rung on the imaginary.

"Omega" is occasionally used as a term of pride by to glorify their technique. According to these ', they are not "alphas" because they are not heavily muscled jocks, but they can nevertheless get ' from ' through their ' techniques. That is to say, their game supposedly transcends their alleged physical unattractiveness. Of course, a more likely explanation of this phenomenon is that, contrary to manospheric beliefs, different females are attracted to different types of males.

Omega rage

 * Also known as: incel rage

Omega rage is a purported state of mind reached by s in which their lack of ual prospects leads to violent sexual, suicidal, or homicidal behavior. The most horrific example in recent memory would be the 2014 Isla Vista killings. Manospherians will often use this as a jumping-off point to advertise their ideology, going as far as to state " can save lives." More than most game ideology, this heavily reinforces the argumentum ad baculum at the heart of it all; women are expected to provide sex not because they want to or feel attracted to the person, but because of the possible consequences of saying "no."

Oneitis
Oneitis occurs when a male falls in love with a singular female, but said female does not love said male. Because s oppose romance/monogamy/marriage and support having as much as possible because "", the prescribed treatment for oneitis is to .

Orbiter
An orbiter is a who has entered the  but somehow continues to like his  friend despite the fact that they don't want. According to the manosphere, sexual relationships are the only valid relationships that heterosexual men can and should have with women.

Paleomasculinism
Paleomasculinism views domination and  submission as part of the natural order of things, and is a view that is held by many  adherents. Paleomasculinism as a movement seeks to distance itself from the men's rights movement and s/rs. See appeal to nature and biological determinism.

Pedestal
Males put females on the pedestal if they treat women as humans their betters. Males do this either to make it easier to gain ' or because they are a ' .

Personalitism
Personalitism is the belief that a person's personality is the primary determinant of their attractiveness as a mate. Personalitism is the opposite of  and can blend into ableism.

Pick-up artist
A pick-up artist (also PUA or r) is a male whose lifestyle is devoted to and having ' with many, usually through various ' strategies.

Plate theory
Plate theory is the idea, promoted by s, that ' should date as many ' as possible at the same time (i.e., "keep the plates spinning") to maximize their chances of . Some PUAs have rejected plate theory.

It is not to be confused with consensual polyamory, which is practiced mostly by non-PUAs, and in which all parties are aware of what is going on. PUAs who spin plates don’t usually tell their dates what they’re doing.

Pre-wall prance
The pre-wall prance is when a ' in her mid to late 20s panics upon realizing she is fast approaching the ', and tries to pretend to be a ' in order to snare a ' while she still can. This involves losing weight, acting feminine, taking up "wholesome" hobbies, claiming to be a virgin and trying to erase traces of her ever being on the .

Purple pill
Purple pill or purplepill is a term used in the manosphere to describe individuals who are neutral with regards to the gender wars. The purplepill movement tends to sit on the fence, being neither on the, nor the. It could also refer to either:
 * 1) Being aware of red pill philosophy but still holding out hope that blue pill-based solutions can work; or
 * 2) The getting-together of red and blue pillers for debate.

Purple pillers are quite literally frowned upon in the manosphere for not literally slapping, spitting on, and choking their dates at the end of the evening.

Red pill
A red pill is a person who is purported to have woken up to the fact that society discriminates against men, not women; to red pill is to do the same. The term is a reference to the film The Matrix (1999), in which taking the  means remaining the part of the sheeple and thinking nothing is wrong. The term is used among the more militantly ynistic and conspiracy theorist manosphere groups.

The concept of "red pilling" is also applied in other contexts where there is believed to be some important "truth" (i.e., a conspiracy theory) that the sheeple are oblivious to (e.g. "red pill me on 9/11"). It has been co-opted by flat Earthers, particularly on Daily Plane.

This term is also frequently used by proponents of "race realism", who coincidentally wish for a more traditional way of life. In most cases, this requires thinking that  and multiculturalism is the new status quo, and it's the traditional values that are subversive. That way, you can act like a bigot and still feel like you're speaking truth to power.

The earliest known usage of "red pill" for "right-wing enlightenment" is by neoreactionary "Mencius Moldbug" in April 2007. The first use found in relation to was in September 2007; it gained currency with pickup artists in 2009 and 2010.

It is particularly hilarious that organised misogynists and reactionaries have wholeheartedly embraced a term from a movie, written and directed by two transgender women, in which a African American ' and a strong, white ' convince a 'white' male (played by multi-ethnic Keanu Reeves) to fight subjugation. The irony doesn’t stop there, though; many fans (trans themselves) have noted the striking resemblance between the red pill and Premarin, the most commonly prescribed estrogen for trans women pursuing hormone replacement therapy in the 1990s, when the directors wrote the film; Premarin itself is a literal red pill, specifically maroon in color. That’s right; the MRA movement's symbol for embracing their misogyny and reclaiming their perceived masculinity is basically a stand-in for medical grade estrogen. It is currently unknown if MRAs have accepted this harsh, unpleasant truth about reality or remain blissfully ignorant of the truth (oh wait...)

Red pill rage
Red pill rage, also called the anger phase, is the anger that new manosphere converts feel towards and the secretly matriarchal society they supposedly live in.

Red pill women
Red pill women is a term for  bloggers who generally agree with manosphere philosophy and link to manosphere sites, and an interesting snapshot of internalized misogyny and power politics. Many tend to be religious wingnuts from groups with a focus on "male headship", and/or willing to take desperate measures to fix an unhappy relationship. Male manosphere types tend to alternate between holding them up as shining examples of someone who "gets it", or using them as proxy targets in their fight against women. For example, a prominent female blogger in the sphere will be heavily reposted to show the community doesn't hate women and in fact welcomes them, then castigated for "stealing the spotlight" from equally talented male bloggers. Many tend to post (either of their own volition, or from not wanting to be seen as "frigid") explicit ual content, with a heavy emphasis on "domestic discipline"; they are then accused of exploiting their sexual power over men for page hits.

Roastie
A roastie is an incel term for a woman who is not a virgin, from the mistaken belief that such a woman's labia resemble a roast-beef sandwich from having coitus.

Save Yourself Black Men
Save Yourself Black Men, also known as SYSBM, is a phrase used within the African American sector of the Manosphere. According to blogger Babatunde Umanah, it tells black men to save themselves from "the pile of ashes and rubble that is currently called the black community as well as the malevolent black females responsible for putting the same community into the toilet." Proponents advocate that "thinking black men" pursue non-black women of quality called "stargates". They seek to build families and produce successful children. The group refers to black women as "scraggle daggles", and tells black men that finding one who is feminine and submissive is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Seduction
Seduction is a term used by s, presumably in an attempt to make their sleazy activities sound sophisticated and, well, seductive. Successful PUAs have achieved the dictionary definition of seduction without any of the romantic connotations.

Sex


Sex is the supermassive black hole located at the center of the manosphere galaxy, around which virtually everything in the mind of an   or incel revolves — and this analogy is fitting because virtually all males who call themselves alphas believe that ' should not be allowed to escape, opt out of, or even resist it — because you know, a male getting sex whenever it pleases him is a human right, and a witch uttering the dreaded curse "No thanks, I just want to sleep tonight."' (oh, the humanity!) is a violation of the laws of gravitation, which state that not even light is allowed to escape from the black hole of sex''.

Sexual marketplace
The sexual marketplace (SMP) is the metaphorical market on which everyone flaunts their. If it sounds weird, that's because it is.

Sexual market value
Somebody's sexual market value (SMV) refers to their sexual desirability. It is apparently the primary measure of an individual's worth. It is often graded like meat on the "".

Sexbot
A sexbot is just what it sounds like: something that totally isn't going to rise up and kill all of us an anthropomorphic robot made for people to have  with. Many manospherians predict an oncoming "sexbot revolution," which will pop the ' by ending ' and allowing men to , but these predictions fail to take into account the fact that most men have no need for sexbots, as they're not incels or raging misogynists. Admittedly, such robots could exist eventually and might help people who have serious trouble with relationships, but even then it's likely they will be too expensive for most manospherians to even come close to affording.

Shit testing
Shit testing is the vile ' practice of showing disrespect to a ' to test whether he has any backbone by seeing how he reacts. This is of course completely different to . The term originated in the pick-up artist subculture.

Sigma
A sigma male is the opposite of a beta. The term was coined by Vox Day in 2010. Day defined sigma males as "the outsiders who don't play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow." He also noted that sigma males are the enemies of males. Examples of sigmas that Day gave (notably all fictional) include Han Solo of Star Wars, nearly every Keanu Reeves role, and most Clint Eastwood roles. Basically, if you're a loner who alienates those around you and as a result you have commitment issues and an inability to talk to women effectively, then you're a sigma. The term made its rounds around the Internet over the years, but started gaining mainstream attention in 2021 on Twitter. Other users have compared the sigma male to being just a new coat of Greek-alphabet paint over ry, noting that being a loner doesn't make you cool, and calling yourself a sigma as a way of making yourself feel better about your lack of is a good indicator of how pathetic you really are.

Simp
A simp, derived from "simpleton" or as an backronym for sucker idolizing mediocre pussy, is a ' ' who is particularly self-degrading in the pure hopes that the ' he's effacing himself for will have ' with him. In its original form, it may be comparable to the way that  is used by manosphere dwellers. Denizens of the manosphere have expanded the term far beyond its original use, and it is now comfortably used to describe any male who expresses any sort of kindness toward a female. The term has gained usage outside the manosphere and is frequently used by non-MRAs as a synonym for a Nice Guy.

Slayer
A male who frequently gets casual with attractive. Not to be confused with

Social justice warrior
A social justice warrior (SJW) is anyone who supports, attacks racism, is generally not an asshole, etc. In the manosphere, the term is always used pejoratively and attempts to end discussion through humiliation and otherization. This is despite the fact that, by their own standards, MRAs would qualify as social justice warriors. After all, they claim to be persecuted by society, and they use this claim of oppression to justify their own bigotry and categorical, sweeping dislike of a given group. Really, if the genders were reversed, they'd be no different than those they despise.

Socio-sexual hierarchy
In a nutshell, the socio-sexual hierarchy is "all that alpha-beta-omega stuff". Several bloggers have attempted to expand further, with the most ridiculous coming from Vox Day. This adds "gamma" and "delta" males that are essentially lower versions of "", "lambda" males (homosexuals), and "sigma" males (super- white nationalist sci-fi hacks). Day's hierarchy hasn't gained a lot of traction in the manosphere, and has been lampooned by other manosphere bloggers. See also.

Soy
Soy (as in the bean) has become an all-encompassing snarl-word to indicate any perceived trait, characteristic, or behavior that is not adequately manly and right-wing. Soy Boy (or Soyboi) is an individual with that lack of traits. The soy meme has its roots in a conspiracy theory, promoted by the online bodybuilding community since the days of Usenet newsgroups in the 1980s or 1990s, and more recently popularized by Paul Joseph Watson. The conspiracy theory is that consuming soy products lowers testosterone, and this is being used by Them to make the populace more docile and easy to control. Soy boy has supplanted  in many parts of the Manosphere.

Stacy
Stacy is the archetype of a high-value, ' slut and the female counterpart of '.

Strong Independent Woman
A Strong Independent Woman is usually used as a disparaging caricature of a woman, who constantly posts on social media about how self-reliant she is, but is actually unable to do anything herself and her main source of income is alimony/child-support/OnlyFans. She will only learn how "weak" she really is after she hits "the wall" and men stop "simping" for her, and she will use the last of her money to buy some cats.

Sugar bailout
A sugar bailout is when a ' is tricked into giving an evil ' his money because she told sob stories about her unfortunate circumstances or not being able to support her kids.

Table
The table is the negotiating table when it comes to an actual relationship. bring nothing to this table, and when asked what they can offer a man in a relation besides sex their response will be "I AM THE TABLE".

Target
A target is a female whom a  has set his sights on. Normal people instead call her a victim.

TFLers
TFLers (True Forced Loners) are the vlogging subset of the incelosphere. These are incelospherians of the TFL (True Forced Loneliness) community who sometimes call themselves TFLhearts, (True Forced Lonelihearts). This incelospherian community was founded in 2008 by an 'incelibate' called William Greathouse with the YouTube channel bill1224601. Their website, trueforcedloneliness.com which is now defunct, permitted both s and s to join, as well as s and lesbocels.

Thirst
A person is thirsty if they highly desire . This has use outside of the manosphere; the major difference is that, when other people use the word, it's not quite so .

Token resistance
When a  makes comments like "No", "I don't want to have ", or "We're not going to have sex" that don't line up with supposed other behavior that indicates that really, she does want to have sex. See also "".

TradThot
TradThot for traditional THOT (acyronym for "That Ho Over There"). TradThot is a term Roosh V coined in December 2017 to describe attention-seeking women on social media who market themselves as "traditionalist conservatives" to gain the attention of horny, right-wing basement dwellers. Examples of TradThots include Lauren Southern, Brittany Pettibone, Rebecca Hargraves, June LaPorta, Ashton Whitty, and Tara McCarthy. Not long after the Manosphere began rallying against the scourge of the TradThot temptation, they began complaining about their poor reception.

Tyrone
Tyrone is Chad, but Black.

Unicorn
A unicorn is a perfect, loving, faithful girlfriend or wife (usually attractive and non-"slutty" to boot). Obviously, such women do not exist ( and all).

Volcel
A volcel is a person who is voluntarily. In other words, they are like a MGTOW but has actually gone their own way.

Wall
' hit the Wall when they get really old, like 25 or so, suddenly become totally gross, have a precipitous drop in ', get flung off of the ', and have to either marry a boring ' or resign themselves to adopting a . This is a thing that totally happens in reality. As a "fun" side note, in Japan, a female who has hit the Wall used to be known as a "Christmas cake", because supposedly no one wants it after the 25th.

WB
WB stands for "Would Bang".

Western women
Western women (WW, Ameriskanks) are those females who have been touched by the evil corruption of ' and don't wish to have ' with  on demand. Western women primarily come from the Anglosphere and are contrasted with .

White knight
A white knight is a ' who defends a ' in an argument. Using this term likens any male defending a female to a knight rescuing a damsel in distress, which apparently always degrades the female as being unable to defend herself (never mind that women who can and do defend themselves get called ' '). Furthermore, white knights apparently only defend females in the hope of getting from said females. White knights may also be accused of being s, s, s, etc. The term is always derogatory and is intended to end discussion through humiliation or embarrassment.

Women on the internet can also get mistakenly accused of being a white knight, which doesn't lend any additional credence to this accusation, though it is amusing for the woman to be called a white knight while it is extra pathetic for the accuser.

Wine Aunt
A wine aunt is a woman who becomes independent and goes on lavish getaways while expressing no desires or interests to have any children.

Wittoldry
Wittoldry is the act of behaving in a olded manner towards one's family. The equivalent, a wittold, is someone who invites his horny male friends over to his house and endorses them banging his sister. The female equivalent, a wittoldatrix, a wittoldress, or wittoldette, is a woman who endorses or encourages her female friends to copulate with her brother.

Wizard
A wizard is a  who has reached the age of 30 without having sex. Wizard can take the form of both an insult or an honorific, given the context and community (i.e. ' or '/).

Woman Moment
Woman Moment is an incel term used to describe a time when a woman does or say something foolish or is something unique to female behavior.

Zeta
Not to be confused with the Mexican drug cartel of the same name, Zetas are synonymous with s, except with a worse understanding of the Greek alphabet.
