twelving

When you're with your group of friends and they all start cornering you by being annoying, twelving is the perfect word to use.

It was a play on words to mean annoying. Since 'twelve' in Korean is shipi (십이) and 'annoying' is shibi (시비), it was a clever way to combine the two for a whole new word. (Credits to Koreaboo)

twelve

a person of any age or age group that displays the mental or behavioral qualities of that of a 12-year old. twelve (12) in this definition is used as an adjective rather than the traditional noun (being the literal number '12'). being called "twelve" is never used as a compliment, this is strictly an insult. if "twelve" is used to suggestively address someone who is obviously younger than 12 years of age, they will likely be offended. this term is solely used toward anyone obviously older than 12 years of age, as it signifies lack of experience, common sense, or maturity that should exist in someone of their true age.

Person 2: bro what are you twelve? go sit down somewhere, man.

Everyone is Twelve Now

A social theory describing the phenomenon where adults in American society display the emotional maturity, decision-making skills, and behavioral patterns of twelve-year-olds.

Origin: Coined by Patrick Cosmos (@veryimportant.lawyer on Bluesky) as a "unified theory of American reality" that went viral on social media in 2025.

Example 1: "Did you see how that guy threw a tantrum when his coffee order was wrong? Everyone is twelve now."

Example 2: "'Everyone is twelve now', she complained, when in response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, 'Your mom did', and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: 'Your mom'."
