Sapiosexuals

A person who finds the content's of someone else's mind to be their most attractive attribute, above and before their physical characteristics.

From the Latin root "sapien", meaning wise. The term is now becoming mainstream with dating apps giving users the ability to define their sexual orientations as "Sapiosexual."

For many, defining oneself as Sapiosexual is also a statement against the current status quo of hookup culture and superficiality, where looks are prized above all else.

Cahoots...............

Colluding or conspiring together secretly.

Cahoot is used almost exclusively in the phrase "in cahoots," which means "in an alliance or partnership." In most contexts, it describes the conspiring activity of people up to no good. "Cahoot" may derive from French cahute, meaning "cabin" or "hut," suggesting the notion of two or more people hidden away working together in secret.
