Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow and I feel like it comes in quite handy for example.

C'mon. They need to invent words for the clique-signalling .

It's very fetch.

Stop trying to make fetch happen

Ok that last half of that comment I feel like you just randomly typed characters until you got something that looked like words.

Not commonly but every so often YouTubers I watch will start using it and it sticks for a prolonged period of time.

It was just the first thing that came to mind. I imagine there are other equally silly internet words out there.

I believe the term originated with Yahtzee during the military and tactical shooter crazy in the 2010s. It referred to games that paraded players through various spectacles and rooms full of chest high walls, until enough time had passed to call it a campaign.
