Dickle was just an example. Why not your usernames or something.?
This answer is so established that even SNL did a bit on it. https://youtu.be/dw0ifECyfPI
A slang word also needs a bit of je ne sais quoi. Like it needs to tickle the brain right when you say it.
The hacker known as “4chan”
Mostly Imageboards, at least the ones i see. I think the word maxxing was used first in incel communities.
This guy just pulled a classic Dickle. What a maroon.
I would say something about your name but The Pantser I guess speaks for itself.
The Pantser, Prowling the textile jungle
Most new words start in socially isolated communities and radiate outward as those outside the community are exposed. Generally this also causes a loss of original context that can lead to a drift in or loss of meaning from the original use in its origin community.
Both based and maxxing come from the alt-right / incel community originally, I believe.
Linguistics Nerd on YouTube has good videos on the origin of many modern slang words.
People like you! 🙃
This comment’s straight dickle.
Shit be rizz-dick.
Infinite monkeys and typewriters
Eventually someone’s gonna say something at the right time and it’ll become a meme
It’s basically random
Are you saying the we were the monkeys at the typewriters all along?
Vapid tiktok famewhores.
You can see from the ‘maxxing’ [sic] term, since it’s spelled wrong. We’ve had “maxing out” for decades , but 20yo barbies couldn’t know that.
That’s why we downvote that one, for instance, we heckle, and we move on.
Probably most (all?) people “come up with” new ways to use language, and not infrequently. Whether something takes hold and goes into common usage or not depends on a lot of factors like:
- How well it “rolls off the tongue”.
- Whether someone famous popularizes it.
- Random chance.
- Whether it’s related to an item of popular media or other sort of trend/fad.
- Whether certain powerful ideologies or agendas artificially try to boost its popularity for whatever reason.
- Streisand effect.
“Rizz” certainly embodies the first one. “Maxxing” seems like a second-to-last bullet thing to me, as do “alpha”, “beta”, and “sigma”. I don’t know enough about the history of the word “based” to have an opinion.
And I’d say the line between “internet jargon” and other slang/jargon/terminology/whatever is pretty fuzzy. Like, does “enshittification” count? How about “woke”? Or “slop”?
Why not my username actually?
It’s already a phrase rizz
