As Pumpkin Spice Latte season begins, it looks like Hot Girl Summer and City Girl Summer may soon be over. Luckily, according to the internet, thotumn is coming next. A combination of the term THOT and “autumn,” thotumn is presumably a time for people to enjoy themselves and to pursue hookups and romance before cuffing season.

Although THOT is typically used as a derogatory insult directed towards girls and women, the usage of the word in relation to thotumn suggests that women are using it with a positive connotation to imply that they will be going out and having fun this fall season
