Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

In social media, it means “alternate account”, which is basically a 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.) account that you have. Usually an alt is used less than your main account.

My main account got hacked, thank the lord that my alt isn’t

And Alt is an account that is made by the same user of another account and pretends to be someone different. It is usually made to start drama in communities such as fandom and sometimes reddit. They are usually banned by admins on wikis for causing drama and being mean to other users. When their acc is banned they make another acc. This is quite a hassle for admins and they usually ban the IP Adress for all acc’s in the area the alt maker is are blocked. They usually use hacking to get to make these acc’s or to make it seem like other users made the alt when in reality the blocked user is. They usually make acc’s knowing that they will be blocked just to send an offensive message on another users message wall or in the blog posts. They scam and cause trouble for no reason. They are not liked. Being accused of making an alt is tooken to extreme offence. Famous examples of alt makers are ILR (AKA IloveRumania), TLR (AKA TehLoanRanger), TBB, and formerly IILWP (AKAIminlovewithpolandball)
User: Hey admin come check this new user out he’s been up to some trouble in the blog posts

Admin: ok, he might be an ILR alt
