Some of these definitions are hilarious. Someone who didn't know what "Bussy" meant could read the entry for it here, and still be just as confused.

Popularized in 2017

How could those silly old folks be expected to know what 'facts' means? It wasn't popularized until 2017!

I wish I knew it for a more legitimate reason, but ROSE Online burned 'bourgeois' into my brain permanently

Hell yeah ROSE! I loved that game. It was the closest game to a 3D Ragnarok Online (Ro2 doesn’t exist)

The definition for "ded" is bespoke:

Laughter and death as a combined concept has been present since Ancient Greece, where it is held that Zeuxis died from laughing at a portrait of an ugly woman he was painting. Ded stems from a folk etymology for dead reckoning. Emerged on the internet in the early 1990s as a representation for regional speech.
