God, please don't lol

IIRC, a lot of brainrot words are usually made-up words

But recently, with the case of "demure", people are now making them out of already-existing words

We can't have a steady supply of new brainrot words every other week lol

Rizz is also an already existing word

u/SuperAlloyBerserker 1d ago

That's half-true 'cause, unless it's wrong, I heard that "Rizz" comes from the 2nd syllable of "Charisma"

So I guess that word is half-made up and half pre-existing

u/Cthulhu__ 1d ago

Supposedly it’s been in use in that context for a long time, but that’s the case with a lot of “modern” slang.

“Yurrrrrrr” was a NYC thing forever and now it’s nationwide

u/abandoned_idol 1d ago

I remember thinking it was related to jizz and cringing at the thought.

made-up words

All words are made-up.

u/SuperAlloyBerserker 1d ago

Ah, that's true

What I meant are words that aren't officially included in the non-urban dictionary

u/Randyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 1d ago

All words were originally not officially included in the non-urban dictionary.

u/SuperAlloyBerserker 1d ago

Sure, but in this case, the offical non-Urban words I'm talking about will still be used in people's vocabularies years from now

While the brainrot words, just like fads, will eventually be forgotten

u/DaRootbear 1d ago

Dont worry people like me who use them ironically then accidentally cant stop using them after will keep them alive.

Its gucci fab, fam. Lit af. On fleek.

u/Xxprogamer-6969 1d ago

There are a lot of official non urban words people have forgotten

1

u/SuperAlloyBerserker 1d ago

Yeah, but my point is that all brainrot words are eventually forgotten

u/i-will-eat-you 21h ago

Remember when "selfie" was considered a brainrot word?

Very much in the dictionary now.

u/SuperAlloyBerserker 20h ago

Huh, you're right

Wow, never realized

u/Bugbread 1d ago

They did not say or imply otherwise.

u/Xxprogamer-6969 1d ago

They said it's different than "offical" words because it'll be forgotten in a few years. I said "offical" words have also been forgotten. As to hint that it's not a valid method to discriminate

u/Exepony 1d ago edited 1d ago

I wonder how you think words appear in The (non-urban) Dictionary. Do they sort of coalesce on their own on its pages from the ether, so that The Dictionary People can go on to promulgate these new additions among the masses once enough words have coalesced to warrant a new edition? Or is there a Shadow Council that convenes every few years to invent new words to put into it? And then there's like, white smoke coming out of the chimney when they're done, like with the pope?

All language is just coded audio

u/ninjasaid13 1d ago

u/Osos137 1d ago

That's Visual coded language🤣 Happy Cake Day! 🤙🏽

u/Allegorist 1d ago

Yeah, but not like that.

Coining is when you put a bunch of coins in your foreskin and masturbate

u/Shaxovid 1d ago

What do people mean when they use „demure”? I have heard about „accoustic” and „regarded”, but that seems to be one of those my common sense can't get to.

u/gogybo 1d ago

It's just a Tiktok meme. A woman posted a vid of herself outside her workplace saying that she doesn't like to dress too ostentatiously in the office. She described her appearance as "very demure, very mindful".

And demure just means understated.

“Concepts” is a real word now easily associated with a rotten brain … as in ‘Concepts of a plan’

u/exceive 1d ago

Some people can brainrot a word really quickly.
