These are just some terms that are commonly used in the yaoi world if you didn't already know them:
YAOI: also known as BL(boys' love) is a Japanese genre focused on the romantic or sexual (or both) relationships of males. ♂ x ♂
(I know this whole thing is about yaoi but I don't care....... fight me ಠ_ಠ )
The term is actually an acronym meaning "YAma nashi, Ochi nashi, Imi nashi". This translates to, No climax, No punch line, No meaning............
Me don't understand (●__●). But I'm guessing if there's no yaoi action going on then.... What's the point?
Also a joking yaoi acronym used among fujoshi is Yamete, Oshiri ga Itai which means Stop, my ass hurts!😂

Fudanshi: The same as a fujoshi but is a male fan of yaoi( just from research it seems that most fudanshi's are straight while the gay male audience is more attracted to bara, which is what I will get into later) EX:(gonna use my boy guchi)

So those are just some normal terms commonly heard in the yaoi community😊 I won't really explain other words like shota or bishounen because there not really used in my opinion(and they kinda make me uncomfortable...) but if you curious of the two words I mentioned.....
Shota is a young male (prepubescent or just pubescent usually)Think of it as the male version of a loli.
