non-horndoggy-interactivity
adj. Describes the kind of sophisticated, professional relationship that involves approximately zero horndogs and absolutely no horncats.
Real citation: "ETA: I thought it was her, then went no. Then looked again. Then went maybe. Then went no. Then compared caps and went no. Then saw everyone in fandom flailing about it and went maybe. Then watched the hotel scene again and went HOLY CRAP because the whole answering the door in her underwear is a smokescreen to distract Dean and Bobby from noticing her face, just like the name correction is a smokescreen to hide Sam's ... whatsit. No, not that. Um. non-horndoggy-interactivity with her. I don't buy Sam/Ruby for a second there, not even if it came with free chips and a toy. :-P"

un-professional-istic
adj. What is this, amateur hour?
Real citation: "This went on for 3 years...there were times I were not able to answer her calls, or reply her messages immediately, as I was either in class, or working...and doing so, would reflect my un-professional-istic ways...so while waiting for my call/reply, the demon would brew thoughts of insecurity within her...and I would then re-organize my words, and explain my situation nicely...so that she would know that I still do care for her..."

Trek-tosterone
noun. An energy source that comes directly from the ol' dilithium crystals, if you know what I mean.
Real citation: "Trek-tosterone
This new Star Fleet is getting hunkier by the day! I'm not a Star Trek fan really; I've seen a good share of episodes of the original series and of Next Generation, and several of the films, but it's never been a series dear to my heart. The early word on this JJ Abrams-run reboot didn't capture my attention all that much. But then they cast Eric Bana as the bad guy, and now Karl Urban has been cast as Bones, aka Dr. McCoy, and I am surely peaked... interest-wise."
