what -maxxing?!

I was more confused about "a neet" tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism 😬
What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training" and it is not just some made-up internet term.
NEET is 100% a made-up internet term.
It was part of the curriculum in my Geography lessons in primary school 15 years ago, in a non-English speaking country, even though it's an English acronym.
Yep. Well known term in the UK and not derogatory.
BBC News - Supporting NEETs: Schemes help those Not in Education, Employment or Training https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-66290926
every term ever used is a made up term my fellow internet user
Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say "bum", which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.
I never would have thought
Good point 😄
Neet has a "failure a launch" implication - a NEET has a home, a bum might be crashing on a couch
Damn. I must be getting old, I didn’t understand half the internet slang used in this topic.
There's a fucking ism for everything now. We used to just say it was someone being an asshole.
Men of science like to categories the different types of asshole.
What about women and others of science?
Eh we have better things to categorize
they're busy doing the real science, shit like figuring out how the periodic table works or whatever
Neet is just an acronym and it comes from japan iirc
You're thinking of hikikomori, the pathological, taken to 11 version of NEET.
I'm not, I know that's a different thing, but I could also just be wrong about neet coming from japan
Yeah.. This is one of the least toxic definitions..
UrbanDictionary is generally offensive in all their definitions, but even so, you skipped past the first definition with 19x as many upvotes (at 16% downvotes) to show the one with 67% downvotes
I didn't look at the votes, just went with a concise one that was a bit more neutral than most of the others 🤷
