1. a leftist rhetorical device used to shame, functions similarly to 'fag' except politically reversed.
Meant to imply that the target can't get laid, whilst possessing some form of frustrated and toxic masculinity. This attempts to "redefine normal" through feminism; to enforce political correctness by removing anything remotely resembling misogyny from anyone's expression (including conservative opinions); and to socially enforce feminine moral standards in general.
Some rigid and paranoid feminists will assume that a normal guy is an incel just because of how he looks, similarly to how some religious people might fear that a goth kid is a satanist and school shooter.
2. a male who actually can't get laid, and actually hates women because of it. Tends to get mad at women who won't show him attention, instead of actually understanding and remedying the situation. Shows violent overtones towards women in his mental unwellness, and is the socially bottom-tiered bogeyman who puts reactive society into a moral panic. There is a fringe subculture which uses words like "foid" to describe women, and is often associated with the black pill (not to be confused with red pill).

"He said something I didn't like, so I'm gonna make sure that people won't think he's cool and he won't be socially dangerous. Hopefully he'll be so humiliated that he won't dare to be inappropriate ever again"
"He's dating my friend and is 6 years older and i don't like that, so i assumed and told everyone he's an incel despite how it's fully consensual and would in reality be easier for him to date women his own age"
"He said right-wing opinions and his nonconformity is attracting women, so I have to kill his status before this gets out of hand"
Elliot Rodger was an actual incel.
