    Slop was totally a thing people used before AI slop became a thing tho. So doesnt really fit in with the others.

    slop = slop
    AI slop = AI slop

      “Woke” has been a term most white people were just unaware of for decades. “Gaslighting” is from a century-old story.

        Idk if it existed before, but iirc it began as a reference to matrix.

        Then redpilled came as the parallel, as in Neo takes the red pill and wakes up from the simulation (woke), but the meaning was utterly twisted to say people that have taken the republican pill and are brainwashed.

        Redpilled people using woke to describe people that, in their minds, have been brainwashed, is extremely funny with this context.

        I’m kinda sad that we lost the “take the red pill” term due to them tho.

        Exactly, they were old unused terms that people revived with a new meaning. Slop was not like that.
