Booty Call

In the context of sex, a 'Booty Call' refers to a late-night invitation for sexual activity, often without the expectation of a deeper emotional connection or commitment. This term has evolved within popular culture to describe a casual encounter that is primarily focused on physical pleasure. The phrase encapsulates a modern approach to relationships where individuals seek satisfaction without the complexities of traditional dating.

Understanding the nuances of a 'Booty Call' requires an appreciation of contemporary social dynamics, where communication is often direct and intentions are clear from the outset. While some may view this arrangement as lacking depth, others appreciate the honesty and simplicity it offers. The term itself is playful, yet it carries connotations that vary widely depending on personal values and cultural background.

Backward Class

Backward Compatibility

In telecommunications and computing, a product or technology is backward or downward compatible if it can work with input generated by an older product or technology. If products designed for the new standard can receive, read, view or play older standards or formats, then the product is said to be backward-compatible; examples of such a standard include data formats and communication protocols. Modifications to a system that do not allow backward compatibility are sometimes called breaking changes.
