memefound
1. Affected with sudden and great confusion as a result of contact with an Internet meme or Internet memes
2. Lacking in understanding of Internet memes, often as a result of generational difference and/or disinclination to engage with the memescape.
Etymology: A fusion of the words "meme" and "found," memefounded has origins in the Greek mimema “something imitated” and the Latin fundere “to pour” and echoes its cognate confounded (also see dumbfounded).
This neologism was created at UC Berkeley for the university's Fiat Luxicon sponsored by the SLC Writing Program.
Memefounded fills a niche created by the Internet, bringing attention to generational differences in culture and hopefully inspiring more Boomer, GenX, and Millennials to wade into the digital waters and study memes, as students do in a CW R4B course: "The Meme and the Human: Digital Literacies." Imagine someone seeing the Gru’s Plan meme and saying to a friend, “I’m memefounded!” then going to check it out at Know Your Meme or elsewhere, starting an intergenerational dialogue with Gen Zers (iGeners).

The digital content on the UC Berkeley Memes for Edgy Teens Facebook page leaves many Boomer, GenX, and even Millennial faculty, staff, and others memefounded.

Mebound
A portmanteau of me and rebound. The act of a basketball player fielding their own rebound after missing their own shot or layup. A mebound is a sarcastic criticism of a player’s inflated rebound stats, since every mebound requires a missed attempt on the basket by the awarded player.
Angel Reese had a double double last night, but 75% of her rebounds were mebounds, some of which included three consecutive bricks by Reese in as many seconds.

Mebound
In basketball, a “rebound” happens when any player retrieves the ball after a missed shot. A “mebound” is when the shooter retrieves the ball after their own missed shot.
“Mebound” was coined early in the 2025 WNBA season to describe the common practice of professional basketball player Angel Reese rebounding her own misses. Angel Reese missed – and rebounded – so many layups in 2024 that it lead to her having the most single season rebounds per game of any player ever, which also set a WNBA rookie record.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
