I do not want to deprave anyone! Words "ausexual" and "autisexual", which are somewhat "coincidentally" similar to words "asexual" and "antisexual"... "Au" on the beginning of these two words is from "autism", of course, and these words mean "non-(neuro)typical" sexualities which can be present in some individuals who have autism spectrum disorder, having these sexualities can mean being opposite to being asexual or (or and) to being antisexual.


Sleep deprivation: not getting enough sleep.
Sleep depravation: nocturnal visits from a succubus and /or incubus.

(I've seen people spell it "sleep depravation." A lot.)

I just heard somebody use the word "monumentous." This obviously a mix-up between "momentous" and "monumental," but I actully like it.
