              Demisexuality

              A sexual orientation in which an individual does not experience primary sexual attraction – the type of attraction that is based on immediately observable characteristics such as appearance or smell and is experienced immediately after a first encounter. They can only experience secondary sexual attraction – the type of attraction that happens after knowing someone for a while. The amount of time that a demisexual individual needs to know another person before developing sexual attraction towards them varies from person to person. It is generally categorized on the asexuality spectrum.

                B’shert (pronounced bashert) is a hebrew (Yiddish) word with the following definition: One’s predestined soulmate; preordained, fated. Bashert means “destined” or “intended.”

                  (The original of the word “chooch” is Italian. It’s a slang term that means a dummy, idiot or moron.)

                        And his smile told him that everything was copacetic.
                        —Robert Bloch

                        But all was not copacetic, as Ross revealed this week in a flurry of X (formerly known as Twitter) posts and Instagram Live broadcasts.

                        But the Bruins also rarely overthought its lineup configuration over the grind of an 82-game slate, especially in regards to a copacetic goalie rotation and a stout six-man defensive unit.

                        Rather than working towards a copacetic co-parenting relationship with the mother of his four kids, West is choosing violence, opting to take the offensive by claiming that Kardashian is attempting to isolate him from their family through the divorce.
