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."

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."

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".

A plant belonging to the genus Ficus; a homosexual male. Because of their delecate, "plant-like" habitus including their clothing (Hawaiian, floral-patterned T-shirts) and their tendency towards becoming a florist (if they're not a hairdresser).
Bob: "Look at Gary walking there on the street! Doesn't he looks fancy?"
Connie: "I heard he's a ficus."

A contamination i.e. a failed portmanteau. Comes from "pre"+"sequel" of which the latter in turn comes from Latin, "sequela"; "what follows". Therefore it is a non-word à la new/memespeak, as "quel" does not mean anything in any known language and thus "pre"+"quel" means nothing either.

Short for "legitimate". NOT short for "legitimately" which is a totally different word. The difference is roughly the same as between "good" and "well" – in case you cared. An extremely popular yet badly understood filler word.
Melvin: "Bill Murray must be legit the most underrated comedian ever!"
Sparky: "IKR? He could've been literally one of the greatest, though."
