Word: word cloud Part of Speech: noun 1.

Example: Suppose you train two neural networks on English and French. Each gleans the structure of its respective language, developing an internal representation known as a latent space. Essentially, it is a word cloud: a map of all the associations that words have in that language, built by placing similar words near one another and unrelated words farther apart. The cloud has a distinctive shape. In fact, it is the same shape for both languages because, for their all their differences, they ultimately refer to the same world. All you need to do is rotate the English and French word clouds until they align. […] “Without having a dictionary, by looking at the constellation of all the words embedded in the latent spaces for each language, you only have to find the right rotation to align all the dots,” Kanai says.

Word: microinvalidate Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From micro- + invalidate. 1. To engage in microinvalidation, to make a relatively small statement or action (microaggression) that negates another person's experience, thoughts or feelings. Example: For example, changing seats to be further away from a^([sic]) LGBT person would be microinsulting, while creating an environment where someone feels pushed to "stay in the closet" can be considered microinvalidating.

Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The online discourse engaged in and created by transmen at the same time constitutes, reflects, and responds to cultural representations of female-to-male transgenderedness.

Example: In this metaphor, transnormative subjects “before the law” are likely to be those in the “but for” group, closest to the floor above. A transnormative approach seeks inclusion in existing political and social arrangements, and, like its cognate, “homonormative,” describes a politics in which “'equality' becomes narrow, formal access to a few conservatizing institutions” (Duggan 2003, 65). Aren Z. Aizura describes “transnormative” as an imperative to fade “into the population ...” Example: While Spade excoriates the medical establishment as a regulatory system deeply invested in stereotypical binary gender, he also complicates transnormative narratives of transition that are invested in the reification of hegemonic medical constructions of transition as a linear, teleological path (from male to female, or female to male). By transnormative, I mean subjects who, save for their status as trans, are otherwise highly assimilable — gendernormative, heterosexual, middle-class, ... 2. Crossing norms. Example: 7.3 The Function and Form of Transnormative Law Recapitulating ongoing debates, five distinct but overlapping characteristics of this kind of transnormative law can be observed: Intercontextualty: Nation-state law [...] […] Despite the entangled character and coevolutionary structure of national and transnormative law, the relationship is potentially ... Example: Stylistic experimentation and mix is also central to transnormative practice in the 'biggest village on Earth'. Thus the lyrics of bands often fuse Western hardcore and local folk motifs and musicians are comfortable playing simultaneously in various stylistically different bands (e.g. in a radical, politically engaged hardcore and an indie-rock dance club formation, in an emo-punk crossover and in electronic dance music, psychobilly and grindcore ensembles).

Word: femsplain Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From feminist + -splain. Compare mansplain, womansplaining. 1. To explain feminist concepts or a feminine perspective, especially when done in a condescending manner or to explain something the listener already knows, presuming that he has an inferior understanding of it merely because he is male. Example: Don't try to reinvent what the Internet has already done. Did I femsplain it sufficiently? Example: When you femsplain feminism to your friends, make sure you don't femsplain what's wrong with other women; rather, femsplain what's right about you. 2. To explain (as a woman) the experience of a man. Labels: derogatory Example: I'm sure I, and the 99.999999% of men in this country who have never, would never, will never rape or harm a woman, need it. You've heard of mansplaining, right? When a man tries to explain rape/sexual assault/etc. to a female rape survivor? Okay, well you're femsplaining rape to a male rape survivor. Example: Yet, it wasn't until Tuesday night's The Daily Show that we learned of a biological struggle that men have when they become parents: dad bods. Women's issues correspondent Kristen Schaal femsplained the fad.

Word: femsplaining Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Patterned after mansplaining. 1. The explanation of feminist concepts, often to a man in a condescending and rude manner. Labels: uncountable Example: I do want to experience Feminist Boredom—when femsplaining and fem… doing (?) become periodically recursive and repetitive, but in a nice vacationy way that is very much a part of working toward something—and Feminist Arrogance, which is fun and about just deciding that everyone who doesn’t know already is pretty stupid. Example: The femsplaining continues throughout the movie, as the girls point out how offensive and problematic sexist frat humor can be. 2. An explanation by a woman to a man about topics that the woman assumes the man doesn't know. Often condescending in nature. Labels: uncountable Example: Mansplaining is a bit of this year’s wombspeak, a coinage of great self-satisfaction and smugness which attempts to put down reconciling reality to facts, naming fables when they are fables, and contesting any of the dogmas of the enlightened sisterhood, as mere condescension from the other gender. It should be paired with “femsplaining” which is of course pure unshampooed truth — as determined, of course, by when and if it works for the cause. Example: The fact of the matter is that women are given so little leverage to be as boring and patronising as men in the office, home or parliament, we don't really have as much evidence of femsplaining as we do mansplaining. Thus, femsplaining remains a myth, much like the gender pay gap and female orgasm.
