It’s “Hump Day Wednesday” which means Hayley is here to discuss all things sexy with us. Lately though, she’s been feeling like she’s not super in the know when it comes to the current sexy lingo. Instead of consulting a regular dictionary, she’s turning to UrbanDictionary.com to get herself up to speed. She’s starting by seeing what the site lists as the definition of “sex,” and then expanding her sexy vocabulary from there.

What are the other sexy terms that Hayley is going to look up? More importantly, what will those definitions actually say? Watch the video now to find out! Also, be sure to be back here tomorrow afternoon for another new episode of What’s Up With Hayley.

Have you ever looked something up on UrbanDictionary.com? What do you think about the definitions of some of these words? Tell us in the comments!

Frape is apparently “Facebook rape,” which is when someone messes with your profile if you forgot to log out or got hacked.

Um. NO.

I can’t even begin to explain how not okay this is. This word trivializes rape, which is something that should never, ever be trivialized.

In high school, I heard “That test raped me” all the time. No, no it didn’t. That test did not take advantage of and sexually assault you. That test did not keep going after you said “No.” That test did not roofie your drink. That test did not hold you down. That test did not scar you for life.

Rape is a very serious crime, and we should be taking the word just as seriously as the crime. Rape means rape.

It took years for the government to change the definition of rape to be more inclusive so that more crimes could be reported. The official FBI definition of rape today is “The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

If we keep giving rape other meanings, it doesn’t seem like a crime anymore. It seems like nothing. It perpetuates rape culture and the idea that rape is a joke, and it isn’t.

And how offensive to rape survivors to use it in such a meaningless way! The only time anyone should be using the word rape is when talking about rape as the crime that it is.

Please kindly do yourself and everyone else a favor and remove “frape” and other words that trivialize rape from your vocabulary immediately.

Have you heard “frape” before? Is it common at your school? What about people saying “That test raped me” or other variations? Does it upset you? Tell me in the comments!

These slang words are fun, but we’re still using some real words the wrong way. A lot of phrases and words evolve out of someone misusing the original, but it’s good to know the correct phrase or word. I wanted to go over a few words and idioms with you that you’re probably using the wrong way. It’s okay though, I do it too!

Peruse

Peruse doesn’t mean to just browse. You’re not perusing the aisles when you’re randomly picking through stuff at the store. Peruse means to pay close attention to detail so you might peruse a rack of dresses trying to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Platonic

If you and your best guy friend are platonic, it’s actually more serious than you think. It’s a connection based on platonic love, which is a deep, soulful connection. While sexual desire isn’t often a component, it’s way more complicated than being “just friends.”

Ambivalent

A lot of people confused ambivalent with indifferent, which means a lack of interest. So if you’re indifferent about where to eat for dinner it means you don’t care either way. Ambivalent means you feel strongly either way so you could really want to eat at Longhorn and Friday’s, but you can’t decide.

Unique

Unique means “being the only one” so you can’t adjust it. Saying she’s “kind of unique” or “mildly unique” doesn’t make sense because unique does not have gradients.

Irregardless

You should be saying “regardless,” which means careless or heedless, without regard. When you say irregardless, you’re making a double negative. Many people will say that “irregardless” is not a word, but it actually is. It’s just not a standard word and is not accepted.

Literally

Literally should be used to describe the way something happened exactly. Tons of people misuse literally as it’s become a popular term in today’s language. But you shouldn’t use it unless you’re literally using it the right way.

Anxious

A lot of people use anxious to describe excited nervousness, but anxious has a more negative meaning. If you’re excited in anticipation of something, you’re eager. If you’re nervous or worried in anticipation of something, you’re anxious.

Chomping at the bit

It’s actually champing at the bit. Champing is the term used when horses chew at their bit impatiently whereas chomping means to bite in the sense of eating. Both are technically acceptable these days, but the correct term is champing.

Could care less

Nope. You should be saying you could not care less. When you say you could care less, you’re saying you do care.

Say your peace

Think again. The correct term is say your piece, which is to express your opinion. Think piece of your mind. This is often confused with to “hold your peace,” which is to do the opposite and hold your tongue. Like at weddings when they say “Speak now or forever hold your peace.” You can’t say your peace, but you can say your piece.

For all intensive purposes

For all intents and purposes is the correct term. They mean the same thing, but the former is not accepted in writing. It just kind of evolved, much like irregardless.

Nip in the butt

Sorry, but it’s nip in the bud. I spent probably the first half of my life thinking you were supposed to say nip in the butt. Nip in the bud means to stop something before it grows, like a bud grows into a flower.
