From cuffing season to orbiting and yassify, the A to (Generation) Z of modern dating terms – how many do you know?
SHAKESPEARE said that 'the course of true love never did run smooth' – and that was before online dating. Finding your perfect match has its challenges, and Gen Z boasts an ever-evolving glossary of terms to describe their romantic lives. Advertisement To help you keep up, read our A-Z of modern dating lingo and know your DINKs from your kittenfishers. A – Affordating : Low-cost dates, like a picnic in the park or a romantic stroll, if you can't afford fancy flowers and expensive meals. B – Benching : Keeping a potential partner on the back burner while you pursue others. C – Cuffing season : Spanning from October to just after Valentine's Day, this is the time it's deemed best to commit to a relationship. Advertisement READ MORE ON GEN Z D – DINK : Both working and you've got no kids? Lucky you — you're a DINK. The acronym stands for 'dual income, no kids'. E – Ethical non-monogamy : It's not cheating if you talk about it first — or so say believers in this dating style, where couples agree to have other partners. F – FLR: A 'female led relationship' sees traditional gender roles flipped. Women make the majority of the decisions or earn the most money. It should hardly be worthy of comment in 2025! G – Green flag: The opposite of red flag, this term is used by Gen Z for positive qualities in a romantic partner, such as being a good listener, sharing interests or getting on with your friends. Advertisement Most read in The Sun H – Hard launch : Not just for celebs, this is where one or both partners confirm the relationship on social media with pics or a status change. I – Ick : The things i've learned as a gen-z traveller J – Jekylling : When someone shows you their 'best self' at first, but later reveals a much darker or toxic side. Named after alter-egos Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. K – Kittenfishing : If catfishing is creating a completely fake online ID, then kittenfishing is its less extreme cousin. It involves, for example, using old photos or exaggerating qualities. Advertisement L – Love bombing : Showering a potential partner with excessive affection and gifts early in a relationship. M – Micro-cheating : Any blurred-line interactions which could be seen as cheating, such as private messaging someone of the opposite sex without your partner knowing or even liking their Insta snaps. N – Negging : Using insulting or negative comments about someone. O – Orbiting : Being ghosted means never hearing from someone again — but an 'orbiter' is an ex who lurks, watching your social media. Advertisement P – Pocketing : When a date avoids introducing you to friends and family or posting about you on social media, keeping you 'in their pocket'. Q – Quiet quitting : The act of emotionally disengaging from a relationship without actually ending it. R – Rizz : Shorthand for the word charisma, rizz is the ability to charm and attract someone using confidence, style or good chat. S – Ship : To ship two people means you're rooting for them to be together. Advertisement T – Talking stage : The period before a couple commit to a relationship, but do have some level of romantic or sexual involvement — which, confusingly, often goes beyond just talking. U – Undercover dating: Otherwise known as sneaking around, this is when you keep a relationship secret as you get to know each other. V – Vibe check : Basically a first date, and a chance to check if you click. W – Win: A successful move in dating or flirting, like scoring a kiss. Advertisement X – Xennial dating : The outdated practices of Gen X and millennials. If you prefer face-to-face to WhatsApp and have never used Hinge, this term may well apply to you. Y – Yassify : To make yourself look good to impress. Z – Zombieing : When someone who ghosted you suddenly reaches out, it's like they are back from the dead — hence, zombieing. 1 Gen Z boasts an ever-evolving glossary of terms to describe their romantic lives Advertisement

My 40 fabulous years covering Fergie from remote ranch to ski trip dance – and why she's so different to other royals
IN a couple of months, Sarah Ferguson turns 66 and will become a pensioner. The significance of her next birthday, on October 15 means that I have now been working with Advertisement 8 In 1996, on the day Sarah Ferguson's marriage ended, Arthur took this photo of her with daughters Eugenie, right, and Beatrice at an equestrian event in West Sussex Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 8 Arthur with the Duchess in 1992 at a restaurant in Klosters Credit: The Sun 8 The Sun's royal photographer Arthur Edwards has been taking snaps of Sarah for 40 years Credit: Paul Edwards Despite her ups and many downs over those four decades, After being set up on a date engineered by Princess Diana, Fergie started going out with Prince Andrew who, back then in 1985, was one of the world's most eligible bachelors. Falklands hero 'Randy Andy' fell head over heels for the extrovert redhead, and the following year rumours of an engagement started to circulate. Every morning a huge mob of press photographers and camera crews would appear outside her office in London's West End to film her going in to work. Advertisement READ MORE ON SARAH FERGUSON 'Are you harassing me?' After three days, her father Major Ronald Ferguson, Prince Charles' polo manager, phoned me and asked: 'Is there anything you can do to make it easier for Sarah?' So, I spoke to all the photographers and said, 'Can we stand back, not hassle her, let her walk into work and we will still get good pictures.' Incredibly, everybody did as I asked but I'd spent so much time organising it I never got to take a photo myself. But in all the years I worked with Fergie after that, she never forgot what had happened that day. Advertisement Most read in Royals By July 1986, Sarah and Prince Andrew were getting married. Watch charming old footage of Fergie, as she makes it back into the Royal fold after being pictured with the Queen's dogs. Two nights before the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, I went on I told I didn't need to worry because Andy and Sarah kissed so often I shot a whole roll of film. Advertisement Then Fergie cupped her ear in a message for me — we heard you, Arthur. She was a joy to work with, a joy to photograph and never once — however bad things were in her life — turned her back on me. In August 1990, her stepfather, Argentine polo player Hector Barrantes, was dying of cancer, age 51. 8 Swiss ski holiday with Beatrice, right, and Eugenie in 1990 Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Advertisement 8 Horse riding with Princess Beatrice in Argentina during trip in 1990 to see Sarah's mum Susan Barrantes Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 8 Fergie at a charity fundraising event in Italy last month Credit: Getty Fergie travelled to Argentina with two-year-old Beatrice and Eugenie, who was just a babe in arms, to say a final farewell to her mother's second husband. I was sent out there and found myself at the gates of a ranch on the outskirts of a strange town nearly 350 miles south of Buenos Aires, where the banks had guards armed with machine guns. Advertisement With no phone to contact Fergie, after an hour stood outside the gates I was wondering what to do when I spotted two horses walking slowly towards me. Dancing with Duchesses On one horse was Fergie with little Beatrice perched on the saddle and by her side rode her mother, Susan, who had left her husband's bedside so I could take a photograph. There were fun times too, like skiing in the Alps where she always gave me an exclusive picture, whether it was the girls blowing out candles on Andrew's birthday cake or when she fell and posed with her arm in a sling. I often joke that one of my hobbies is dancing with Duchesses. Advertisement Fergie was the first Duchess I ever danced with. On a ski trip to Klosters in January 1992, I was in a restaurant when Fergie walked in. I spotted her and joked: 'Are you harassing me?' Suddenly an oompah band struck up a fast quickstep. I caught her eye and, with a nod, she said: 'How about it Arthur? Come on — let's boogie.' Fergie was just so different to any other member of the Royal Family. Arthur Edwards Before I knew it, my arm was around her waist and we were whirling around the floor. We must have been on our feet for 15 minutes. Advertisement Later, her policeman came over and said: 'The Duchess says if you ask her to dance again, I can take a photo of you both.' There were other great photos along the way. But it isn't just because of her willingness to help me get a great picture that I like her. In Los Angeles she gave a speech at a convention when somebody shouted: 'I love you Fergie,' and she replied: 'I'll get your number later!' Fergie was just so different to any other member of the Royal Family. Advertisement She made mistakes, like the 1992 'toe-sucking' incident in the south of 8 One of many kisses with Andrew on Buckingham Palace balcony at wedding in 1986 Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 8 The couple's gesture to Arthur to show they had heard his request for photo of them kissing Credit: check copyright On the day her marriage to Andrew officially ended in 1996, she had taken the girls to a show-jumping competition at Hickstead, West Sussex. Advertisement She told me: 'You were there at the beginning — you should be here at the end.' The following year she was staying with Beatrice and Eugenie at a fantastic private villa in Italy. The world's press were camped outside but I got a message saying: 'She'll be at this beach. Don't tell anyone — just go there.' I arrived at a little hut and got wonderful pictures of her and the girls preparing a picnic and running on the beach together. Advertisement And when her friend Princess Diana died in that horrific crash in August 1997, I was at the airport in Paris when my phone rang. It was Fergie, who had been very close to Diana, asking if I was alright. Back into the fold Even though she is reaching pension age, I know she will carry on campaigning to find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease and for her children's charities. Despite her fun-loving reputation, she is a worker. Advertisement When she was £4million in debt she worked her socks off for WeightWatchers in America, flying to the US every week. She also worked for Wedgwood and Waterford Crystal in Ireland. I remember her telling me: 'It's so lovely not to have any more debt.' In 2022, the year the Queen died, I was invited by King Charles to take a special photograph of all the Royal Family after the Sandringham Christmas church service. Advertisement I spotted Fergie looking out the window, and when she saw me she came rushing out to kiss and hug me. The King had invited her back into the fold. Even though they have been divorced for nearly 30 years, and I imagine there's been lots of tears and lots of anger, she will always be there for Andrew. One thing I know about the King is that he is a kind man who was never going to kick his brother and Fergie out of their home, Royal Lodge at Windsor. He's not that sort of person. Advertisement Sarah and Andrew are still very close and will be until the day they die.

I had a close call in alligator capital of the world with fantastic resort, great activities & €291 Aer Lingus flights
WHEN you think of a holiday to Florida you conjure up images of rollercoasters and incredible rides galore — but what if I told you that adrenaline junkies can get their fix outside of the major theme parks? With my bags packed to the brim and waivers signed, I hop on an Advertisement 4 Lauren enjoyed a night-time paddleboarding session with Epic Paddle Credit: 4 Before a close call with a gator 4 The Ritz Carlton is a great resort that's more than two times the size of Dublin's St Anne's Park Credit: PR Handout image I've been to The closest I get to After a not-so-early night at the five-star Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Often called 'the Alligator Capital of the World' Gatorland is a 110-acre wildlife and theme park located just south of Advertisement READ MORE IN TRAVEL The park is not only a After meeting the team, I get suited and booted for ziplining with a major twist. The Screamin' Gator Zip Line does what it says on the tin as I hold on for dear life 1,200 feet above alligators and crocodiles. Delighted with myself, I decide it's time to relax for a bit while looking at the reptiles from a very safe distance. Advertisement MOST READ IN THE IRISH SUN Breaking But I am so wrong. Next up, it's off to venture into an alligator pit for feeding time. As Gatorland's Brandon Fisher closes the gate behind us he shouts: 'Bogie, Turnpike, Buddy… let's go, let's go!' And like a scene from ADVENTURE RIDE I put my hand into a bucket of chicken legs and hope that the gators would be more interested in those ones over my own. Advertisement After all that excitement, it's now off to the Stompin' Gator Off-Road Adventure ride, and a 12-foot-high custom-made monster truck takes us around the swamps and we meet some wacky characters on the way. After working up an appetite, we go to the on-site cafe to try some gator bites. They are surprisingly nice and At this point, Brandon is quick to let us know that we aren't eating Turnpike's friends. The gator bites are actually shipped in from elsewhere. We leave Gatorland and head for a guided airboat ride through Orlando's wetlands. Advertisement The Spirit of the Swamp trip is an excellent whistle-stop tour of Florida's Everglades — Captain Dale helps us search for gators in the wild and we spot a rare bald eagle sitting in a tree on the way back. The next morning the group head to Harry P Leu Gardens for the Origami in the Garden experience. SPIRIT OF THE SWAMP The outdoor exhibition showcases over 20 monumental metal sculptures inspired by the The unique sculptures, crafted from aluminum, bronze and steel, bring to life intricate designs of butterflies, ponies and winged horses and celebrate themes of transformation and harmony with nature. Advertisement And as we walk through the serene spot that feels like Snakes — as they rustle through the grass near the trees. We also spot baby turtles having some fun in the sun on a lake. In the evening, we dine at Russell's on Lake Ivanhoe before a night-time paddleboarding session with Epic Paddle. Advertisement With blue and red lights on our boards, we tread water in the dark passing under city bridges and take amazing photos. Afterwards, we go back to the Ritz Carlton's Club Lounge for a few Whispering Angels to finish up the day. RESORT PERKS Born and raised in North Dublin, I feel like Annie staying in Daddy Warbuck's house for a few days. With its own waterpark, luxury swimming pools, golf course, spa with a robot masseuse, fishing, bikes, tennis courts, pickleball, falconry experiences, eco-tours, sunrise safaris and top restaurants, you don't need to leave the resort that's more than two times the size of Dublin's St Anne's Park. Advertisement But there's one activity I'll remember forever — kayaking at the resort's beautiful Shilling Creek. After a trial run on land, our activity leader warns that we might meet 'Mrs Margaret' — a six-foot alligator that hangs around the creek. At this point, I think that Margaret is like the Boogieman, either she didn't exist or we wouldn't see her. But I was wrong again. I hop in the boat and float downstream. All is going well until I start to head for the marsh and get stuck. Advertisement FACT FILE GET THERE: Aer Lingus operates daily flights from Dublin to Orlando International Airport. Fares start from €291pp each way as part of a return journey, including taxes and charges. STAY THERE: The Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes Hotel May rate for standard RC room €476.01 (incs Club access). DO THERE: Try paddleboarding with Epic Paddle Adventures: €55 ($65) Take a spin on The Orlando Eye: €25 for an adult ticket online ($29.99). A day ticket for Gatorland to see Turnpike and his pals: €29.82+tax ($34.99+tax). Ziplining price includes full day in the park: €59.66 ($69.99+tax) per person. Spirit of the Swamp airboat ride — one-hour private airboat tour: €46.88 ($55pp). Harry P. Leu Gardens, adult ticket: €12 ($15. Trying not to panic, I hear a big splash. I hit 'Mrs Margaret' with my kayak. In mating season. She freaks, and ventures under the water. At this stage, I think I'm a goner. The kayak moves downstream, and I don't know where Margaret is until I see her in the flesh on the other side of the creek as if nothing had ever happened. Maybe my late granny Margaret was with me. I am just lucky I didn't meet her pal, 'Dinosaur', on the golf course. While it was certainly a trip I'll never forget, I'll leave you with this advice: 'How do you know there's an alligator in the water in Florida? If it's wet, then yes.'
