Incentivize

A corporate-jargon non-word meaning "motivate," coined in 1968. Some 10 years later, it was shortened to the equally annoying verb "incent." Unfortunately, both are recognized by both Merriam-Webster and the OED.

The only respectable form of the word is the noun "incentive."

I would like to motivate him to never say "incentivize" again by telling him I will rip his windpipe out of his throat the next time I hear him say it.

I hope everyone who says "incentivize" in earnest knows they come across as a jargon-spewing ahole.

Zoomali Incel

A lonely, unemployed, malnourished male from the country Somalia. They have an overinflated ego, are very racist against other Africans, very misogynistic and are characterized by their incredibly hideous looks:
Huge forehead
Recessed jaws
Hook nose
Bad teeth
Skinny with no muscle tone, particularly in the legs.

Women from Somalia find them repulsive and they cope by terrorizing everyone on the internet, particularly Somali girls on social media minding their business.

You will find them on Twitter and TikTok posting about an imaginary fictional kingdom called “Macrobia” and claiming to be Arab or White rather than Black African.

inclement weather

"Inclement weather" means unpleasant weather, which is stormy, rainy, or snowy weather. However, the phrase inclimate weather often is mistakenly used when the speaker really means "inclement" weather.

Amos: This is the coldest summer we have had on record. We need to do something about anthropogenic climate change.

Ignore Amos: Dude, there ain't no global warming! It's colder than usual this week, and don't you remember that inclimate weather we had this winter? That was cold, too!

Amos: Anthropogenic climate change does not mean just global warming. It also includes unseasonably cooler weather due to the melting of the polar ice caps. Furthermore, cold weather in the winter is not inclimate weather. I think "inclement weather" is what you meant to say.

incense

Cool smelling sticks of fragrant shtuff that you light up, so it slow burns white smoke all over the surrounding area. Though many potheads use it to cover up the smell of their dank, it's a false stereotype. A superfluous amount of Febreeze is usually the real pothead dedector.

Also a great word to start a conversation on so you can laugh at people that accidentally say 'incest'.

Me: "He, you like incense?"
Friend: "Yeah, I LOVE incest!"
ME: *laughs*
Friend: "Shit!"

Incending

A guy who stalks soccer players, watches every single soccer game and doesn't cares if he doesn't spends time with his family.

It is also the name of some random ROBLOX sword clan leader.

John: Does Jordan even think about something else but ROBLOX and soccer?
Paul: Damn he is such a Incending.
