    Neurotypicals tend to not know what that word means, either. It’s too Latinate and polysyllabic.

        Yet I’m supposed to keep up with “yeet” and “sneed” and whatever the fuck memers have scooped out of their cranial mush-puddles this month?

          Hey, dude, scrub, cool, hanging out, psyched, what’s up, puke, and scoop were all once just slang words. Yet here we are, and they are pretty commonly used today.

          Sorry but a lot slang becomes general speech, so there’s no reason to resist it.
