(名詞) 從未訂閱有線電視節目的人。亦寫成 cord never 或 cordnever。這個字源自多年前出現的 cord-cutter (取消目前訂閱的有線電視節目的人)。

The only read we can get on cord-nevers is through surveys. A recent U.S. poll by Forrester Research, for example, provides startling numbers. Its online survey of 32,000 American adults found that of the 24 per cent who say they don’t pay for cable, only six per cent are cord-cutters, while 18 per cent are cord-nevers.
—Sophia Harris, “Cord-nevers could be bigger threat to TV than cord-cutters,” CBC News, November 9, 2015
Comcast’s own streaming service aimed at cord cutters and more so the ‘cord nevers’ who never sign up for cable, has now launched.

(名詞) 臨時在閒置的空地架設的路邊電影院 (drive-in theater or drive-in movie theater)。複數為 guerrilla drive-ins。
引句：
Jeff Hull, an artist who owns a production company in San Francisco, came up with the idea for Oaklandish in the late 1990s. He wanted to create an ongoing public art project dedicated to uniting the city…He hosted guerrilla drive-in movies in abandoned parking lots where he would screen documentaries about Oakland.
—Jessie Schiewe, “Oaklandish: Booming business rooted in Oakland pride,” San Francisco Chronicle, April 2, 2015
Drive-in theaters have come a long way since the outdoor Theatre de Guadalupe in New Mexico first welcomed cars to join seated crowds at screenings in 1915. But decades of growth up through the 1950s and 60s gave way to decline in the 70s and 80s. A recent “guerrilla drive-in” movement, however, has begun to reinvent the concept, using new technologies to create mobile open-air theaters in the hearts of cities.

(名詞) 稱呼性取向或性別認同與眾不同的人士的概括詞。參見 folks。
引句：
According to the T-FFED team, social media enables access to resources, support and information from which “trans and gender-diverse folx (especially folx of color) have been historically barred by gatekeeping on the part of the medical industrial complex.”
—Julie Zeilinger, “These Amazing Activists Prove Beauty Comes in All Sizes,” Mic, February 6, 2015
This moment of increased student activism has fostered a culture of competitive social consciousness. We trade in knowing the latest Twitter debacle, using jargon like “folx” and having read the most radical think-piece on “Formation.”

(形容詞) (電影) 讓男性觀眾感動得落淚的。亦寫成 guy cry。
引句：
Shawshank falls under the rubric of “guy cry” movies. Though Deakins’s nuanced cinematography is lost on the small screen, watching Shawshank on TV allows a man to shed a few cathartic tears…while ensconced on his Barcalounger in the privacy of his home.
—Margaret Heidenry, “The Little-Known Story of How The Shawshank Redemption Became One of the Most Beloved Films of All Time,” Vanity Fair, September 22, 2014
I’m left with a personal dilemma at times when it comes to ‘guy-cry’ films like this, where you know what’s going to happen, you may get emotional about it, whatever. But if the film doesn’t deliver on those promises, I sometimes wonder if I’ve finally donated what’s left of my soul to the great and growing ocean of cynicism that comes with film criticism.

Forget FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) — now we’re more likely to have FOGO (Fear of Going Out), thanks to things like rush hour traffic, stressful work weeks on-demand TV and fast food delivery services. But is staying in too much actually bad for us?
—Laura Millar, “Do you suffer from FOGO?,” Friday, October 17, 2014
I believe that I have developed the opposite of FOMO, in fact: I have a case of FOGO, or Fear of Going Out. Okay, well not literally a fear of going out. I still love a party. Always have and always will. But I have an active non-desire to attend the mass-Instagrammed events that clog up all my social-media feeds on several-week-long intervals throughout the year.

—Joseph Lalonde, “22 Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Creed (Rocky 7),” jmlalonde.com, November 30, 2015
Considering how well Creed, a movie that passes the torch from one ‘80s action icon to a new generation, is being received by everyone, I wonder if the producers of Kickboxer: Vengeance are regretting making it a remake instead of a legacyquel.
