#pun and #wordplay are related but NOT the same thing. This is part 1 of my deep dive into the #linguistics of #humour
They say "if you can't be funny at least be interesting" and hopefully I accomplish at least one of those things.

Old-fashioned black and green text on a white background reads: Back in 2024, when I was training to volunteer with hospice patients, the coordinator kept referring to “Chux pads” left and right. I wasn’t sure what I was hearing. Chucks? Chuck’s? Was it some sort of specialized medical term? The Columbarium. deadparentswhatnow.com/newsletter
Chux pads: brand genericization or anthimeria? Rejoice, linguistics nerds! And hospice nerds, I suppose. We'll discuss this and more in tomorrow's edition of The Columbarium. Sign up: deadparentswhatnow.com/newsletter

What makes this particularly striking is how such language travels. Terms that originated in fringe online spaces are beginning to appear beyond them showing how linguistic innovation can move faster than the ideas it carries.

Physical attractiveness becomes a measurable hierarchy, women are objectified through technicalised labels, & relationships are discussed using gamified, optimisation language. In other words, ideology is embedded in lexicon.

This isn’t random internet silliness.
The vocabulary creates an in-group boundary allowing participants to recognise one another & build community identity. At the same time, the terminology reframes values.

Clavicular & his followers communicate through a dense insider slang:
• “mog” (to be more attractive than someone).
• “frame-mogged” (having a superior physique).
• “slaymaxxing” (sexual success).

His notoriety stems partly from controversy & shock-value behaviour, but the most revealing aspect is actually the vernacular surrounding him.
