What the hell are Anti-Linear switches, and what do they feel like?

Never heard of them. Any examples?
I've heard of antilinear operators, though.

Is anti linear not just tacile and/or clicky?

That would just be nonlinear, I'd think.

I think I might have heard that term before, although I don't remember what exactly it means. It might be another term for exponential switches, I think the term "progressive" is also used.

I've used keyboards with exponential switches, and it feels like a linear but because of how stiff the switch gets by the end, it's really easy to not bottom out, although it depends on the weighting.
