D.S. Credito's definitions

powcohol

powdered alcohol, a new product that was legalized in much of the U.S. in 2015. Normally, powcohol is mixed into other beverages, but if the powder is snorted, a user can become instantly drunk.
Many law enforcement officers and communities are concerned about minors abusing powcohol, possibly that it will be snorted like cocaine.

college

where dreamers can go to secure a plan B for their future employment prospects
Jenny always wanted to be a singer-songwriter, but her parents persuaded her to choose English as a college major, for a fallback plan. She later married a 1950s-style brute who orders her to edit all of his work-related documents and to have dinner on the table by five every night. Life can be so tragic sometimes.

TGE

abbreviation for 'truly gay environment.' A city, town or other general area where any and all sexual preferences are celebrated and encouraged, though not necessarily gay. For example, a person who spends enough time in a TGE such as the Castro District of San Francisco or Greenwich Village in New York will have a fuller opportunity to explore and understand his or her true sexual orientation than someone who lives in an environment where heterosexuality is the one preferred norm.
While San Francisco is thought of as being an ultimate TGE, as recent as the late 1970s it was a struggle for the city to elect its first gay mayor.

song selling

Song selling takes place when a singer-songwriter earns money in exchange for the rights to use his or her original music, often to a (more) famous, or up-and-coming, recording artist.

If a singer-songwriter has written a catchy song but seems to fall short on vocal or instrumental ability, a listener might say, "you should sell your song." Hearing this can be extremely disheartening for singer-songwriters, especially those who are still developing their talents, or have not yet enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame.
Why does song selling even exist? Any band or singer who is worth their weight can write their own songs.

Chimamanda Adichie

A stunningly gorgeous Nigerian-American author whose nimble writing style often presents stories from multiple points of view. Her feminist ideals and her willingness to write critically about West Africa and the Nigerian diaspora are widely considered very bold and brave.
Chimamanda Adichie's voice was featured in the Beyoncé song "Flawless," in which the author spoke to encourage today's women to overcome sexism, including the idea that women - but not necessarily men - should automatically aspire to marriage.
