- tom_ 3y agoGood point, yes - if I'm surprised to see this turn of phrase in the NYT, and yet I implicitly assume everybody knows what it means, then maybe I shouldn't have been surprised in the first place.
- tokai 3y agoYeah definitely weird seeing racist slang from 4chan seep into mainstream journalism. inb4 its from the Matrix; only red/blue pill is. The [term]pilled is from /pol/.
- Lacerda69 3y agoI see what you mean, but in a lot of ways many mainstream memes have had their origin on 4chan (not only pol/b btw) and memes influence speech and everything else. Would be interesting to see a detailed analysis of this IMO
- gvurrdon 3y agoThat's a good blog. Sadly, Mark Wadsworth (the author) appears to have died within the last year. Edit: Link: http://www.yppuk.org/2023/03/mark-wadsworth-obituary.html http://www.yppuk.org/2023/03/mark-wadsworth-obituary.html
