May 15 Word of the Day
A few weeks ago, no one had “cheugy” in their vocabulary . Now everything is saturated with the word. It’s in our heads. It’s in our homes. Everyone is asking: “Am I cheugy? Am I a basic ass bitch? Am I GUILTY of being cheugy?”

The proliferation of cheugy in the mainstream discourse can only be attributed to one source: mental terror. It’s an orchestrated psychological trap to make you question your tastes and interests in the eyes of others.

You are not a cheug. YOU’RE PERFECT!!!!

It is very suspicious that the cheugy mascot is a Minion, a literal cyclops, a deformed
yellow panopticon in overalls ... do not let the all-seeing eye to control you. Be vigilant. Resist cheugy psyops.
Becca is another victim of cheugy psyops. I saw the garbage truck take all her Ugg boots yesterday. She even removed “I LOVE The Office!” from all her dating profiles. She’s unrecognizable.

An aspect of social networking, where a person friends someone they no positive social connection with, for the sake of boosting their friend count, and perceived social status.
Jonas prefriended me on Facebook last week. We each thing the other guy is an asshole, but I prefriended him back to push me over 500 friends.

Ultra-popular Kim: Heather, why did you friend Jill last week, she's such a loser?
Just-as-popular Heather: Because she worships me just like my other 1200 friends on Facebook, confirming my popularity and ensuring I'll win the vote for Homecoming Queen.

Heather grows up to become the skanky trophy wife of a used-car salesman. Jill grows up to be a lawyer and makes partner at a major law firm.
