It has come to my attention that many ZADR fans are in fact, ignorant of the boy/boy love words used in the fandom. So I, Darth Bandeet, have decided on a whim to make this journal of defining words for joo! Anybody know of any words I'm missing, please let me know, as I'm getting these off the top of my head right now Xp

Definintions taken from the online Urban Dictionary [link]

ZADR - a lovely acronym for Zim and Dib Romance/Relationship. It has it's roots deep in... well, people trying to find out how to say 'hot human/alien sex inside' while still staying PG . No, seriously, it came out of just slash culture and a bunch of other crap besides. I still stick by the definition above, though. It tends to be shounen-ai, if not blatant yaoi. Some of it IS good though

GENERAL TERMS

BL - In Japan, BL is the "modern" term for Shounenai, definition meaning "Boys love."
~Allaiyah

UST - Unresolved Sexual Tension. It is a common mechanism in fiction, which enables the relationship between characters to build up a powerful erotic charge without actually becoming sexual.

Rule 34 - If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.

E.g. I invoke rule 34 on the Rescue Rangers. What have I done?!
I posted a picture on /b/. I rule 34'd it. Dear God!
Can I get sum Rule 34 on Captain Planet?
Hey did you hear? Stephen Hawking bought a horse, dammit rule 34!

Slash - Word used in fanfiction to denote homosexual pairings. Usually male/male, sometimes female/female AKA femmeslash.
Often used interchangeably with yaoi or yuri.
~Bunny of Doom

Uke - from the Japanese verb 'ukeru' (receive) it's used in anime/manga and fanfiction for the "bottom" or "passive" in a yaoi/shounen-ai (male/male) relationship. Generally the shorter, cuter, sweeter of the two... generally
~Alexi Dalziel

Seme - Japanese for the partner on top. Used in conjunction with uke and yaoi.
~Alyson

Shonen-ai - is a Japanese terminology literally translated into "shonen" = boy and "ai" which means love. It denotes male homosexuality, and, unlike its correspondent yaoi, shonen-ai is used in regards to depictions of the romantic side of a relationship between two males. "Shonen-ai," the term, is used in fanfiction to warn of male homosexuality.
~Random Idiot Ri

Yaoi - is a Japanese word, which is actually something of an acronym. It comes from "YAma nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi", which means "no climax, no point, no meaning".

In speech and writing, it's a slang term used to refer to stories that focus on homosexual relationships, usually between men. Yaoi tends to involve graphic sex, often with little or no plot. The female equivalent is yuri.

A related genre is shonen-ai, or "boys' love", which tends to involve less sex and more cuddling (and plot).
~SolarCat

Xenophilia - A love of strange/foreign/unknown (alien) objects/people. We basically just skewed it for our ZADR needs.
~worm-baby

Pedophilia - From the Greek 'aedo' which means 'Child' and 'hile' which means 'Love'
A sexual orientation of an adult and a minor. (i.e. Zim's supposedly older than the oldest human being on Earth and Dib is... what? Still in grade school?)

Shotacon - or Shota for short! It the love/sex between 2 little boys or a little boy and a grown man or a little boy and a grown woman! Basically an extention of pedophilia Xp

Emo - unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, listen to high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts, wear tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.
