Nonfession (Non + Confession)

Noun

An admission of wrongdoing, but not of guilt over said wrongdoing. Distinct from a "confession" which implies a guilty conscience, but similar to a Fauxpology in that the expected content isn't quite there.

"I don't get it, why are they confessing?"

"They're not confessing, they're bragging."

"Dethaw" - used by coastal Texans who are not familiar with freezing weather

Hiya,

in the past three days, I have heard that word once a day at different places. Could be the same random person going to the same places I am. Completely possible. Word used as in, "Once I dethaw the pipes, we can see the damage."

All this ice may have frozen our brains down here.

The phrase spoken actually was gender norms but it sounded to me exactly like gender barns. I googled it but found nothing. Good term!
