Black Irish Twins

Siblings born in the same year to different mothers.

A pun on Irish twins, Black Irish, and the multigenerational deterioration of African-American families.

NB: You don't have to be Black to have a Black Irish Twin.
The other eighth graders thought Dion and Errol were kidding about being "brothers from another mother," but they mean it literally since they were Black Irish Twins.

Backhanded Insult

A compliment couched in the form or tone of an insult. Often used by people who *want* to be nice, but fear being seen as weak or disingenuous, but can be unintentional.
When Maurice told Mary she was "the least photogenic pretty chick" he'd ever seen, he meant that pictures didn't do her beauty justice, but it came off as a backhanded insult.

Sighness infection

A mood where you feel like sighing all the time. Usually the "infected" are unhappy, but may also be wistful or any other emotion which produces sighs. Not to be confused with clinical depression, which is more persistent but not necessarily more intense.

May also be called "sighnessitis."
Rubi contracts a sighness infection every time she thinks about how her sister Reema got into Harvard but she didn't.

bonadroit

Skillful and/or clever — i.e. the opposite of maladroit. Although it denotes the same characteristics as adroit, it has the added value of making its user appear even more pompous. Humorously ironical employment is possible, iff the speaker's swagger was phenomenal.
Nobody who was socially bonadroit would actually use the word "bonadroit," as it just confuses people.

groupie tendencies

The likelihood of an individual to adore/follow otherwise-peers.

Groupie tendencies need not involve any sexual desire. In fact, those with extreme groupie tendencies ask nothing of their (usually reluctant) paradours save acceptance of an unequal relationship. Such cases — while sometimes able to acknowledge the pathetic aspects of their attitude — feel a righteous indignation about their actions.
Even though he was an able leader in school, Kobe's groupie tendencies arose around his cousins at home.

Paradour

Someone you like but don't like-like. A pun on paramour and adore. Rarely reciprocal, because what really is in this crazy, mixed-up world?
After she broke up with him, Guillermo couldn't help but become Leah's paradour, but she had hurt him too much for them to ever get back together.
