Why was this deleted as a creative protologism? It's clearly in use, clearly in the mass media. And it was referenced to news articles, from the New York Post and Newsweek. -- 67.70.32.186 04:06, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- Those all seem to be mentions, not uses. —Mahāgaja · talk 06:01, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
- The uses are on social media that Millennials use (as mentioned in the news articles). Thus this is an internet-used word. Like Reddit [5][6] or Twitter ; The news articles prove the term exists, and shows that it has entered the notice of the social consciousness of the world at large. -- 67.70.32.186 00:14, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Only one of the three links you provide there is a use, one is a mention and one is a hashtag term. While this may indeed be entering the lexicon, I don't think there is any need to get out ahead of it before it is established in some meaningful way, that is what UrbanDictionary is for. - TheDaveRoss 16:36, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
