Pronunciation: /ˈee-gril/ (like “e-girl” with an r)
Part of speech: noun, verb, adj.
1) (noun) A digitally-constructed feminine persona used online—often for streaming—created with AI/filters/deepfake tech. Not a lie; a character. Liminal, glam, a little uncanny on purpose.
2) (noun, specific) A cross-gender m→f deepfake/filtered identity performed on camera (e.g., a male creator channeling a feminine avatar).
3) (verb) to egril: to transform into or perform as that persona. egrilling (prog.), egrilled (past).
4) (adj.) Describing a vibe that’s synthetically feminine, kaleido-cyber, or filter-mythic. (“That thumbnail is so egril.”)
Etymology: e (electronic/ethereal) + glitchy shorthand of girl/grill → egril. Intentionally lowercase for sleek tag energy. Coined by Deffy “The Creature” (Luna Æther canon), 2025.
Usage notes:
Not the same as “catfishing.” It’s performance + artifice acknowledged.
Works alongside VTubing, face-filters, voice mods, lore, etc.
Plural: egrils.
