Redrumed

To be overtaken or consumed by violent or destructive impulses, often with a loss of identity or moral clarity.

Derived from "redrum" (a reversal of "murder," popularized by The Shining by Stephen King), with "-ed" to form the past tense. Conveys horror, psychological unraveling, or supernatural influence.

A person who talks with a lot of vocal fry because they're trying to make their voice sound lower than it is. Common among millennials. Term is a reference to the child in the shining saying redrum using vocal fry before he starts yelling it.

My ears hurt after listening to a bunch of redrums on that zoom call.
