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

Chilling rise of ‘psycho' cats – domestic pets crossed with wild animals bought online & now prowling UK streets

THERE'S a rise in Brits adopting "psycho" hybrid cats described as unsuitable pets - with armed cops even called in to retrieve one. Savannah cats are the result of breeding wild African servals with domestic moggies - and a special Dangerous Wild Animal Licence (DWA) is needed to own first generation crosses (F1) of the "breed". 6 A savannah cat that was on the loose in Hampstead in 2020 Credit: SWNS 6 Worried neighbours had called cops after spotting the 'big cat' 6 Armed cops in Hampstead retrieved the cat It comes after Celebs and influencers, including Justin Bieber, are among those to have owned savannah cats - but experts warn they can be a major risk, especially to other pets. Bieber's wife Hailey described his two savannah's as "pyscho". Armed police were called in 2020 to affluent Billionaire's Row in Hampstead, London, when READ MORE NEWS The latest Government data shows at least 30 F1 versions of the species are being kept in the UK - but many more later generation examples are currently on these shores, with numbers rising. F1s can cost as much as £20,000 - but sites like Pets4Homes list non-first generation savannah kitten litters for sale for as little as £200 each. Chris Lewis, captivity research manager for Born Free, told The Sun people should not be fooled, and it's impossible to remove the wild genes and instincts in just one or two generations. He said: 'I would strongly advise against anyone wanting to purchase a savannah cat. Most read in The Sun 'They're considered to be a step up from your common domestic cat, because they're bigger, they're quite striking in appearance and have featured in a number of online videos with influencers or celebrities. 'So they are considered to be a fashionable pet, I guess." Pet dog runs on court to celebrate as Emma Raducanu is beaten by Anna Kalinskaya in Washington He continued: 'Once you get into the second generation of Savannah cats, you then don't need a license anymore, which I think helps with their appeal and also that raises questions as to whether that's even appropriate because you have this animal, which is only two generations away from its wild parents, and you suddenly don't need a license for it yet… 'It is quite bizarre, almost a bit of a loophole with the licensing.' Chris said he would encourage people to remember that the domestication of cats and dogs occurred over the thousands of years over multiple generations. 'To assume that an animal after just two generations is suitable and capable of being kept adequately in a domestic environment within the UK is perhaps not appropriate, not advisable,' he continued. 'And any hybridisation of two species which are so noticeably different because the breeding of a domestic cat and a wild cat can be filled with welfare issues for the animals involved." Savannah's are not simply high maintenance, they are different animals from domestic cats - described as energetically hardwired, they are often accused of terrorising neighbourhood pets when allowed to roam. RSPCA scientific officer Evangeline Button told 'Providing an environment that meets the needs of these large animals is likely to prove extremely difficult, particularly in the average family home. "Animals should only be kept in captivity if good welfare can be assured.' 6 Savannah kittens can be bought online for a few hundred pounds 6 Savannahs are a mix of wild servals (pictured) and domestic cats Credit: Alamy 6 Justin Bieber has previously owned savannah cats Credit: Instagram

She then revealed how she was recently trolled and told she should not wear a bikini because she's "too old". Laura explained: "I recently read a comment saying I was too old to wear a bikini… and it honestly made me stop and think for a second. "But then I reminded myself, life's way too short to worry about what other people think." Most read in Celebrity She defiantly said: "Today I'm wearing a swimsuit, not because of the comment I read but because I wanted to and I feel comfortable in it!"
