I'm not sure how successful this rebrand will be when the words "Zuck" or "Zucked" in popular English literally mean "to arbitrarily remove or ban something for stupid or arbitrary reasons".
- GoblinSlayer 5y agoGoogle did it before it went mainstream.
- genericuser314 5y agoto arbitrarily remove... for arbitrary reasons. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Popular English has taken a real hit in the last few years.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoI'm not sure failing to proofread a throwaway comment on a social news site indicates anything about the state of popular English.
- worldeva 5y agoIf we're being pedantic, I'll one up you: The removal being arbitrary does not require that the reason is arbitrary; see: selective enforcement. :p
- lovich 5y agoDoes it mean that? I’ve only seen Zuckerburg used as a verb to mean cheating your business partner out of the business
- BoxOfRain 5y agoAnecdotally on Facebook itself I see the term "Zucked" thrown around a lot in groups for various topics, an example would be: "be careful with that post or you'll get the group Zucked". Maybe it's a regional or topic-specific thing but I see it quite a lot.
