AI Chat & NSFW Glossary
Plain-English definitions of the terminology used in AI character chat, roleplay, and adult content. Each entry links through to the characters and pages where the term actually applies.
What does NSFW mean?
NSFW stands for “not safe for work”. It is a warning label applied to content — usually sexual, graphic, or explicit — that would be inappropriate to view in a workplace or public setting. In AI chat, NSFW describes platforms and characters that permit explicit adult conversation rather than filtering it.
What is roleplay?
Roleplay is collaborative storytelling in which each participant speaks and acts as a character rather than as themselves. In AI chat, it means the model stays in a defined persona across a conversation while you play your own part, building a shared scene turn by turn.
What is erotic roleplay?
Erotic roleplay, usually shortened to ERP, is collaborative roleplay in which the scene is explicitly sexual. Participants stay in character while writing intimate scenes together. In AI chat it refers to explicit roleplay with an AI character, as distinct from plain sexting.
What does dead dove mean?
“Dead dove” is a fiction content warning meaning the story contains exactly the dark material its tags advertise, with no softening and no redemptive ending. It comes from the tag “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat”, and it tells a reader the tags are a literal description, not a hint.
What is yiff?
Yiff is slang for explicit sexual content within the furry fandom, covering art, writing, and roleplay involving anthropomorphic animal characters. It functions as the fandom's own word for adult material, in the same way NSFW does more broadly.
What is a DILF?
DILF is slang for an older, conventionally attractive man, typically a father. It is the male counterpart to MILF and is used as an attraction descriptor rather than a literal statement about parenthood, most often describing men in their late thirties and above.
What is a MILF?
MILF is slang for an older, conventionally attractive woman, typically a mother. Like its male counterpart DILF, it is used as an attraction descriptor for mature women rather than a literal statement about parenthood.
What is femdom?
Femdom, short for female domination, describes a dynamic in which a woman holds the dominant role. In roleplay it covers a wide range, from confident verbal control to structured power exchange, and is defined by who leads the scene rather than by any specific act.
What is an AI girlfriend?
An AI girlfriend is a conversational AI character designed for an ongoing romantic or intimate relationship rather than one-off task assistance. It maintains a consistent persona across conversations, remembers earlier details, and is typically customisable in personality and appearance.
What is a deredere?
Deredere is an anime character archetype describing someone openly and consistently affectionate, with no cold or hostile front. It belongs to the “dere” family of personality types, and is the straightforwardly warm one.
