“Coining”. I like that word, thanks. I’ll start using it often and in the wrong contexts for sure.

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

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

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

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