Memetic appropriation
Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.
User 1: This joke ain't even funny
User 2: r/wooosh
User 1: Stop memetic appropriating, you didn't even spell the sub right

deceived
I was deceived 6 months ago by an e-girl who I paid to see a custom video. She seemed well-intentioned, but once I sent that Amazon GC she immediately abandoned my texts.

Doubletext
When you are messaging someone back and forth and while you are writing a response their last message they send another message on a different topic. You realize the second message requires a completely separate message to answer so you quickly finish your initial response and send it. Then as you start typing the second message the other person reads the message you already sent then proceeds to write a message back, ignoring the second topic of conversation as if he or she were talking to someone else. You respond in the same fashion and the two of you have two separate messaging conversations at the same time until some point one topic is dropped or the messaging ends altogether.
Example of a doubletext:
You: Want to see a movie later?
Me: Sure, what film?
Me again: Did you hear that our company is upgrading our work computers?
You: How about 'Spaceballs?'
You: Yeah dude, I could finally run some Crysis on there!
Me: Meet you downtown around eight?
Me: And yeah lol

Silent majority
An oxymoron.
Bub: What is a silent majority?
Loko: An oxymoron
Bub: Oh really, why?
Loko: Think about it. How can a majority be silent? Would that not also imply there is a loud minority? Not strictly speaking, but by definition, a crowd of a thousand people cannot be more silent than a few individuals. Therefore it is an oxymoron.
Bub: So what you are saying is that a silent majority is seemingly silent, but has all the traits of a majority?
Loko: Exactly. However because it's an oxymoron, it is only to be used under specific contexts such as the majority of students attending a zoom lecture that vote on polls but don't ever talk. It has also been used as a misnomer intended to magnify a population group to make it appear bigger than it really is. In the second case, it is the 'majority' part that is meant to elude, while 'silent' implies that there is another group in comparison: the supposedly "loud" group which turns out to be the true majority group.
Bub: The second use-case sounds a bit sus.
Loko: Yes, essentially it is double-speak.

Ear licking
Some stupid shit that skanky ass e-girls do to a binaural microphone. It is often wrongly labelled as asmr when in reality it's just erotica (FYI erotic asmr ≠ asmr). Call it asmr all you want, but the entire asmr community would beg to differ.
Ear licking is NOT asmr. To categorize ear licking as asmr is an utter insult towards the entire asmr community and misrepresents ASMR's raison d'etre.

ASMR videos
Videos you'll find on YouTube that feature a combination of satisfying visual and audio triggers for relaxation purposes. Note that 'trigger' here means anything that makes you get tingles (some people call it the 'chills').
Note that ASMR videos do not include Mukbang, nor does it include mic licking (since it is mostly done with sexual intent).

ASMR
ASMR is an internet niche that has been widely misunderstood by the public. It is a widespread misconception that ASMR is sexual or disgusting in nature.
As a long-time ASMR user, I can confidently tell you that:
1)ASMR is NOT mukbang.
2) ASMR is NOT some girl vociferously licking the microphone like a dog.
3) ASMR is NOT anything that involves bodily fluids.
4) ASMR is NOT sexual.
The truth is, ASMR is none of that weird disgusting stuff, it is actually quite inoffensive in nature. The fundamental purpose of ASMR is to induce a state of relaxation into the listener through what people call "tingles", which are tingly sensations you get in the scalp and elsewhere throughout the body. This is mainly achieved through hearing gentle whispers and soft delicate sounds. It can also be achieved through watching someone pamper you (e.g. barbershop roleplays, doctor roleplays, etc).
ASMR has always been about ear-to-ear whispering. It has always been about exploring the satisfying sounds that various materials make (e.g. leaves crunching). It has NEVER been about mic licking, I hope people seriously realize this.

Alice: Do you listen to ASMR?
Steph: Of course! My favourite one is that girl who eats an entire seafood platter.
Alice: Um..... I would hardly call that ASMR.
Steph: Why not?
Alice: ASMR is supposed to be relaxing. Listening to someone slurping loudly on ramen ain't relaxing in the slightest. Go listen to GentleWhispering, ASMR Darling or Ephemeral Rift if you want some actual ASMR content.

Dude 1: Hey so I've been enjoying some ASMR lately.
Dude 2: Oh? Which ASMRtist
Dude 1: Some chick called Amouranth, she's mad hot too.
Dude 2: I would rather you associate Bob Ross' livestreams as ASMR than to associate that horny mongrel licking a microphone as ASMR.
