Definition
1. To use “ancient wisdom” or mystical/intellectual vibes as a thirst
trap.
Dropping deep quotes, Egyptian/occult aesthetics, or spiritual language while clearly angling for attention, admiration, or validation.
2. To flex knowledge the way a
thot flexes selfies.
Not lying—just packaging “I’
m enlightened / esoteric / wise” as the main bait.

straight Thothotting.”

• “Alexandrea’s feed is a masterclass in Thothotting: hieroglyphs, moon rituals, and captions about higher consciousness wrapped around
thirst-
trap photos.”
