Today we were talking about how words can mean different things to different communities, and that people outside the community wouldn’t understand. Like how a non-poker player wouldn’t understand poker jargon the way other poker players would. Anyway, then my professor said he was gonna show us his “favourite example” and wrote a single word on the board that gave me instant psychic damage: beta.

Apparently sport climbers use this word with a meaning of “technique, method.” But for a horrifying, horrifying second there was the possibility in my mind that we were gonna talk about ABO in my fucking linguistics class

Professor Betas Georg, who writes 50k omegaverse fics during office hours, boldy wrote “beta” on the board while observing which of his students went dead. still.
