Terminology

Okay, so I'm a crusty old fart when it comes to MK these days, but I've noticed people using new acronyms these days that leave me scratching my head, so I'd like to lay down what I've always taken to be the accepted acronyms and terminology so we can find some continuity between old and new usage.

TG - Transgender - Gendermorph
AR - Age Reversal - Pedomorph
?? - Animal/Beast transformation - Animorph/Beastmorph or even anthromorph.

Well, I've noticed the term TF being used for that last part, but I'm not entirely sure what it stands for. My best guess is Transform.

TF does stand for transformation.

For what it's worth, all my old documents had TF-(Animal) to quickly describe those hit with the Animal Curse.

I have a related question, though, so I figured I'd just add it on here: What are some good literary alternatives for the various types of Curse victims? I'll try to start a thesaurus-like list, but I'd be interested in others' thoughts. For some reason 'transgender' or 'morph' just don't show up in most thesauruses when I'm out looking for them :) However, I would like to be able to change things up in sentences. So, here we go—some of these I've seen and some are things my wife and I were throwing out:

TG (Transgender): Switched, Second Man/Woman, Sex-hexxed…

AR (Age Regressed): Backwards, Gone Backwards, Second Child, Old Child, Regressed…

TF (Transformed): Animal morph, 'morph, animorph, transformed, changed (the latter two could be for any, but are more likely to refer to a TF-victim), hybrid, [use the specific animal], beasted, animalled, furred,

I think one of my problems is that 'transgender', 'age regressed', and 'morph' all sound quite technical, almost clinical. Is that how we view the inhabitants of the Valley would talk, especially out in the villages?
