Stifler

Stifler, though not a formal dictionary entry, is a term primarily associated with the character 'Steve Stifler' from the 'American Pie' film franchise. It is used to refer to someone who embodies traits attributed to Stifler, specifically: crude, sexually aggressive, and often crass behavior. The term frequently implies a lack of social awareness or sensitivity, marked by unfiltered remarks and actions. Colloquially, it describes an individual perceived as excessively vulgar or overly focused on sexual matters, typically with a disregard for the feelings of others. It carries a strong connotation of immaturity, particularly in their approach to social interactions. The term is often used humorously, but can also be pejorative depending on the context and the intent of the speaker. The term itself has transcended the character to represent a type of individual, and its use outside of the movie reference relies heavily on the shared cultural understanding of who stifler is.
