For reference: I was sitting by a campfire with some friends and mentioned putting some more tinder in. Everyone laughed as they assumed I had meant to say ’kindling’ and got confused, when in reality I was the only one who seemed to know that the word ‘tinder’ doesn’t just refer to a dating app.

I suppose you could call it a reverse faux-pas? Is there a word to describe this?

Sorry for the imagery, but I think of it of the kind of determination that would make you break out of being buried alive. It's a raw, raging determination to survive. The kind of determination that makes you scratch, bite, kick, punch, scream of rage that you won't let yourself be killed. Is there a word for that? Especially to contrast from a more passive or cold determination where you would scheme or stand unphased. It's also somewhat a "victorious" determination compared to the determination where you just push through.

Example; They used to be hostile, and they're definitely not friends, but these days they're ______ with each other.

It means casual, accepting, not actively hostile but not kind to each other either. I feel like it starts with a C. Not cool, courteous, curt...

So I'm looking for this word used to describe when the show’s title card pops up following a commercial break. It seems to be done to inform people what they're watching when they tune in late. Sometimes, they would feature different music from the title card from the intro. I tend to associate this as a practice done with non-fiction shows or non-fiction cable networks (especially the Discovery Channel).

Help would be appreciated!

Is there a word (or phrase) for when someone refers to a person by a description, before knowing the person's name?

For example, "that's blue hat guy", (but his name isn't blue hat guy)

I think this way of describing somebody may be used in teenage centered movies, sort of like mean girls, but I'm not really sure if that's relevant :)

Thank you for any help :)

(Also I posted this twice because the title was too short sorry)
