My most recent favorite is "malding." It applies so amazingly well to the :grillman: that rage because my lawn isn't a perfect 2 centimeter high rectangle of bleak green virtue signaling, and instead there's pollinating bugs, birds, lizards, and an actual ecosystem of native plants out there. I can see them malding in real time sometimes, glaring as they shuffle by. They so hate when anyone tells them what to do but want you to conform, always.

Being Jokerfied by the last few years, I admit the concept of Jokerification still tickles me. :joker-dancing:

      I liked it in Max0r's Metal Gear Revengence video, but it sucks that most uses of "based" I see outside of Hexbear are from :frothingfash: and :le-pol-face: clapping like seals because someone said a slur word and is calling for extermination.

    referring to all non-essential consumer goods and services in the US as "treats". fuckin' cracks me up and is so belittling/demeaning. reminds me of dog treats and how that's a word that makes some dogs super excited.

    totally captures the mindless way Americans are controlled and loyal to their consumerism. because treats. like how a dog will eat so many treats it barfs or shits itself.

      Big Bang Theory is a bootlicking crypto-bigoted misogynistic corporate nightmare product, but somehow that artificial meme word it came up with is excellent for summarizing a certain mindset.

          You sure?

          I thought the whole point of the Sheldon character's "BAZINGA!" thing was to artificially create a catch phrase and aggressively self-promote it. Did he ever name drop GTA or were the writers of that show that lazy and dishonest?

            I was going to search it, but apparently there is a g*mer called "Bazinga" who plays GTA, so the search results were hopelessly polluted. OH well.

    Cope

    All libs and chuds live in fantasy worlds so you can just whip it out a lot.

    "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia"

    Cope

      Chuds say "cope" a lot themselves. It's usually like this.

      :soviet-bashful: "I love my wife. She left a cute note for me when I was out."

      :le-pol-face: "COPE"

    im not sure if it counts as slang, but i will admit to the liberal sin of referencing tiktoks IRL (with friends who also are terminally online b4 someone calls me cringe)

    i will also admit to currently being hooked once more on the phrase 'what da dog doin'

      For the little 4 character clan tag thing you get in Halo I love putting "ZOOP" cos I like the idea of me absolutely dominating some clown who's then forced to realise that they're getting zooped on.
