I do not want to deprave anyone! Words "ausexual" and "autisexual", which are somewhat "coincidentally" similar to words "asexual" and "antisexual"... "Au" on the beginning of these two words is from "autism", of course, and these words mean "non-(neuro)typical" sexualities which can be present in some individuals who have autism spectrum disorder, having these sexualities can mean being opposite to being asexual or (or and) to being antisexual.


Sleep deprivation: not getting enough sleep.
Sleep depravation: nocturnal visits from a succubus and /or incubus.

(I've seen people spell it "sleep depravation." A lot.)

I just heard somebody use the word "monumentous." This obviously a mix-up between "momentous" and "monumental," but I actully like it.

I just heard the word "de-influence." Context: "I de-influenced myself," i.e. got rid of the mental programming from watching too many online "influencers". I think that's a word which could have mere general uses, too.

Celibism (Polish: celibizm) - lack of being in romantic relationship and living in erotic continence and chastity, also without vow or promise.

Harcelism (Polish: harcelizm) - from "hard celibism" and "harsh celibism" - living in celibism despite discomfort or (and) sexual drive and desire. Chastity is good, of course!

Harcelosis (Polish: harceloza) - from "harcelism" and "psychosis" - severe discomfort or serious mental suffering due to prolonged harcelism, it can have positive symptoms (more intense or more problematic temptations, obsessions, fears, unwanted thoughts) and negative symptoms (low energy, motivation deficits, apathy, avolition, fatigue, slowness). Despite suffering from harcelosis, I know that chastity is definitely good

Marcel - protologism coined from three first letters of both of the words "marital" and "celibism". Living in sexual continence and chastity while being in marriage, especially when sexual desire and sexual drive are present. In Poland "Marcel" is a male name.
