Most of this lingo was imported from r/cth, Twitter, and maybe some pods. I think bazinga and bazinga-brain may be native to Hexbear, but slop certainly predates it as a perjovative for a long time. Not sure about treat discourse, but probably left-Twitter.

I've always read slop more positively, like it's mildly self-deprecating but enthusiastic. when it's some chud bitching, we tend it call it a treat.

Yeah, but slop as a descriptor for media predates its ironic usage on Hexbear and other social media spaces.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, definitely. I just meant how we use it.

You are right I think, it can probably be found it its natural habitat as you have described in almost any of the threads here: reddit.com/r/blackwolffeed
