Trigger is either an action or an object. It may refer to two things:
(1) An object in a firearm, commonly referred to as “the trigger”, that, when pressure is applied to it, causes the firearm to discharged, by means of a mechanism.
(2) An act or event that causes a reaction of some sort.
HOWEVER.
Trigger is NOT a word that can describe a negative reaction to a piece of literature, an opinion, a fact, or an opposing statement. The correct word for that is “overreacting”, or a combination of words, such as “an overly sensitive person who doesn’t like to hear opposing options”.
Don’t like it? Too bad. The word “trigger”, alongside many other words, is not yours to be manipulated.

Get the Triggered mug.Something triggerable that was activated. What a normie definition.
Triggered is when one gets unprecedentedly mad, usually to the point where they wish for one's familys' limbs to be amputated, placed around a wooden ppole, have the triggerer (?) tied to said pole and then burned. Sike that's just when you lose to a default on Fortnite but that's still an example of triggered.
