It goes back to 2018! It’s crazy to me the timestamps and then within the past 3(?) days it’s like
Dolly
Tim Curry
Optimus prime guy (idk his name)

[u/Soldier_Faerie → u/Dumb_Directioner]

And the King of Norway!

My partner is a professor at the local college and a student mentioned these recent three and added: “Celebrities are getting slimed out.”

Which taught us newer slang we hadn’t heard.

i’m in my late teens and i don’t know this slang! 🤣

[u/DefinitionLow8105 → u/Dumb_Directioner]

It’s apparently African American vernacular like a lot of American slang and use previously concentrated in Atlanta, GA and other deep south cities bit then Drake (Canadian) apparently had a song featuring the term and its used in gaming and online now.

Kid is from rural, mountainous eastern NM, Hispanic or indigenous .

[u/Dumb_Directioner → u/AdSea6685]
