What this was
Unapologetically slovenly, self-indulgent behaviour, named in a fake headline in 2022 and then voted Oxford's word of the year by public ballot — the first time that choice was put to a vote.
It first appeared in 2022, during short-form and streams.

Behind the recordWhere it came from
There is no original to identify: this spread through many separate posts at once rather than from a first one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it spread and what people called it is the record.
Nothing here is claimed to be the first version of this, because research established there was not one — it appeared in many places at once.
Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
