twink code https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_(gay_slang)#Twink_code A set of symbols using letters, numerals, and other characters commonly found on modern, Western computer keyboards, and used for the describing and rating of twinks. These codes are used in email, Usenet, and Internet forum postings to identify the physical type and preferences of the poster, but have mostly fallen out of usage. The code includes: physical traits, such as "c" for color of hair (from blond to black); "l" for length of hair (from bald/clean-shaven to very long); "h" for degree of hairlessness; "y" for youthful appearance; and "e" for endowment; as well as personality traits, such as "q" for "queeniness"; and sexual preferences, such as "k" for "the kinky factor".
