Neutrois is a gender-neutral identity under the nonbinary and transgender umbrellas. Some people consider neutrois to be inherently tied to gender dysphoria and a desire to make a physical transition to a gender neutral presentation—but as a result of the diversity of people who identify as neutrois, some of them say they don't have one or more of those traits, and are no less neutrois for it.[2] A person of any cultural or ethnic background can call themself neutrois, and a neutrois person may use any pronouns they like.

Though we’re deep into the autumn, the tansy is in bloom on the lane. Tansy’s fern-like foliage grows in thick clumps. Its robust, reddish stalks bear clusters of button-like, yellow flowers. The name tansy comes from the botanical Latin for immortality: Tanacetum. This might have been a reference to the long-flowering period of the plant, or to the fact that it was once placed in the winding sheets of the dead. Tansy’s astringent smell was said to keep vermin from the corpse. Some people compare the scent to camphor. The plant was also long used as a herbal remedy; tansy tea was drunk to expel internal parasites such as worms.

Accismus (noun)
Accismus is a useful term for pretending to be disinterested in something when you actually want it. Pull this word out when you see someone acting like he doesn’t want the last donut.

Example: "I know you want that donut. You're just displaying accismus by pretending you don't."
