Inanic (adj.)
/ˈɪnə.nɪk
A word that has no meaning, yet feels like it should.
People often Google it in hopes of finding a definition. This is that definition.
And now that you’ve found it, the word is no longer meaningless.
Which, of course, ruins the joke.
But that act of giving it meaning — merely by defining it — becomes its new meaning.
And so the cycle continues:
“Inanic” means nothing. Unless you try to define it. Then it means the act of defining the meaningless. Which is meaningless. Which is inanic.
⸻
Etymology:
• Latin inanis — “empty, void, meaningless”
Meta Note:
You’re not the first to Google this.
You won’t be the last.
But by doing so, you’ve kept the joke alive — even as you kill it.
