Phenotype is a borrowed term used by therians, and to a lesser extent furries, to decribe a person's animal affiliation. Because phenotype has a specific scientific meaning (see Phenotype in Wikipedia) that can confuse those not familiar with this contextual use, Theriotype has been suggested as a replacement in the were community. It has not found widespread use yet, though, and phenotype still is the more familar term.
