I was more confused about "a neet" tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
