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".

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."

lemonfinger

When one picks one's rectum and then takes the finger to someone's nose and asks: "Do you smell lemon?"
Bob: "Hey, did you ever lemonfinger anyone in school?"
Gary: "Yeah, I did it to my shop class teacher!"
Connie: "Dear bin Laden, please take me now..."

statcoulomb

Onomatopoeia: a sound that you make when you accidentally swallow the pit of a peach. Extremely dangerous – you're not a seagul, dude, so don't do it on purpose!
Melvin: "*munch, munch* So, I was sitting there *slurps* perusing through the latest issue of.. *gak* Eeeerp! Eeeerp! *glom* Hnhhhh! Hrrnhngh! *gasp*"
Bob: "Dude! What in the name of Christ almighty are you doing?"
Melvin: "*STATCOULOMB‼* Ahhh, that's better..."

prequel

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.
Melvin: "Have you seen the prequel to »The Hangover»?"
Bob: "Have I seen what to WHAT?"

legit

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."
