Also, how do you pronounce “le$bian”? Is it “LeUSDbian” in the U.S., and “LeCADbian” in Canada? Welp…

    When you think about it, we got weeaboo from Wapanese in a similar way thanks to 4chan word filters.

    Also I honestly thought seggs was a reference to (volume warning) that one sicko-biker video--shows how much I know (I don't use TikTok).

    The unalive and whatnot doesn't annoy me that much, more just bums me out that people have altered their language to bend to the whims of a profit-maximizing algorithm to the extent that they end up reflexively self-censoring on other platforms (or maybe don't even realize that the same censorship doesn't apply everywhere). Ultimately, it's an in-group signifier like any slang and I'm not going to go full old-man-yells-at-cloud just because zoomers are talking like their peers.
