the great eight

The "great eight" filler words whose meaning the people using them don't even understand, but solely spam them on every YouTube video they can get their hands onto, because "that is what you are supposed to do!" These people probably (I don't want to know) use this YouTube/Reddit/add-your-site-of-choice-here meme language in real-life situations too: at school (if they attend to one (hey, everything is possible)), in a line at a supermarket, at the mall etc. It must be spoken loudly, so people around can hear it the same way everyone sees their comments on-line.

The Great Eight filler words are: honest(ly), literally, appreciate, underrated, legit (short for legitimate), ignore, actually and though (short for although). Notice that "legit" is NEVER written as "legitimate" and its meaning is NOT "legitimate" but "legitimately" in this age of newspeak and memetalk. "Though" is never written as "although" and it has NO meaning whatsoever; it's a 100% bona-fide filler word. Summa summarum: it wouldn't make a difference if you wrote "onionballz!" instead of "legit" or "though", as anyone with a functioning set of brains just omits; passes these empty words with no meaning or value.
Melvin: "Nice to see a new video from The Rolling Stones though. Let's be honest and stop ignoring the fact that they are legit the most underrated band in the world. SMH."
Sparky: "Facts. The Stones literally is sooo underrated that it hurts, to be honest, actually."
Thor: "*ambiguous smiley* Anyone else here for they actually appreciate the music though?"
Alfred: "Anyone watching in 2021? I wish this pandemic was over..."
Bob: "Gee, guys! Ever heard of The Great Eight?" ¦D"

ain't

Short for "am not" and for nothing else – not even "is not", for "it ain't" would just be "it am not". The only correct use is "I ain't" which is a contraction of "I am not". So, don't say e.g. "you ain't" which would only mean "you am not".
Clinique: "Let 'im go, he didn't do nothing!"
TyRone: "I ain't done nothing! I ain't done no nothing!"
LaKeisha: "You bastards, let us go! I ain't done none!"
Barackeisha: "You let 'em go!! They's ain't have done nothing! They ain't have done none!"

honest

A word you use to accentuate that you really are not being that serious (sic!), but rather making a light-hearted comment in a meme stylee (sic!). Memeheads are spouting it out like there is no tomorrow – and there well might not be one, thanks to Corona.

Among the "great eight" of filler words whose meaning the people using them don't even understand, but solely spam them to every YouTube video they can get their hands into, because "that is what you are supposed to do!" The other words are: literally, appreciate, underrated, legit short for legitimate, ignore, actually, though short for although.

Also closely related to the mythical "YouTube algorithm".
Melvin on YouTube comments section of any given video: "Lets be honest: u didnt' searched for this *ambiguous smiley* U could of but, u did'nt though..."

fag

A homosexual male. Comes from "macrophage" that is a large white blood cell that ingests foreign particles and infectious micro-organisms. Latin: macrophagus; "big eater". According to studies HIV is 200 times more likely to occur on a gay man than a straight. When HIV develops into the AIDS stage, the macrophages start to eat everything – including the healthy cells, thus destroying the immune system and eventually killing the patient.
Bob: "Do you think that Gore Vidal guy is gay?"
Connie: "Gore Vidal? Do you mean Vidal Sassoon?"
Bob: "Yeah, yeah that guy. I bet he's a fag."

MAD

MAD is an American humour magazine with comics. The name should always be capitalized as "MAD" to distinguish with any other Mads or the word (adjective) "mad". MAD is an acronym from "Mesh takes a D", in which "mesh" is "#" (number sign) and "to take a d" is to "commit a suicide".
Bon: "People oftentimes wonder what that "E" in the middle of the name of Alfred E. Neuman – the cover boy of MAD magazine – stands for and what happened to his missing tooth."
Connie: "No, they don't."

propinquity

Use this word when you want to seem smart – or stupid. It's your choice, really. (It's all just a big game of fortuna, as it's the other people that form their opinion on you and you cannot really affect that process.) It's the type of word you only see on the "most searched" list of dictionary.com and on Yahoo!'s headlines (the latter-mentioned explains the first-mentioned).

People who have to look up this word are either too smart or "too dumb" and if this being the case, they are also very likely to read Yahoo! News. Why Yahoo! in the first place uses words that are understood only by 0.01‰ (1 out of 100 000) of the population, remains yet unclear. But when you are seen to use this word, people will know (if they're intelligent enough) that you got it from nowhere else than Yahoo! News...
Woody: "The propinquity of these – pardon my sterile approach on the topic – two given objects is inversely proportional to..
Bob: "Why don't you just say "approximity" or "distance" or something?"
Woody: "W-what? I don't.."
Bob: "Yes, you do. Don't play stupid."
Gary: "Yeah, man. Don't use words that are understood only by 3500 Americans – that's what Yahoo! News does."

mesh

The symbol # i.e. mesh is known as the number sign, hash or – in North America – the pound sign. Babies and kiddies started calling it hashtag somewhere in the 2010s and it became one the most cancerous forced memes ever, breaking through from the internet into real life.
Bob: "I remember when the »fence made of brushwood» symbol was called »mesh»."
Connie: "»Mesh»?"
Bob: "Yeah, you know – the »#» sign."
Connie: "Oh, THAT fucking cancer...!"
