My wife had a guy start at her company the same day she did, but he got fired that same day because for reasons no one understands he decided it would be wise to make his Teams (or whatever they used. Slack? I can't remember) profile picture a meme that said "Epstein didn't kill himself" or something to that effect.
It was a six figure software engineering job, too. I cannot imagine losing a job like that for such a silly, self-inflicted reason.
At my last job some intern burst into Slack calling everyone "mald" for disagreeing with his sexist memes. That whole event was just a couple of hours.
Tf is mald?
I assume the intern meant malding? As in, he's saying everyone was upset.
TF is "malding?"
Apparently it's some kind of Twitch meme.

Damn I'm old
Similar to "coping" and "seething"
I'm curious about the etymology. It's not in any classic lexicon.
Mad & balding is what I understand it to be.
You're curious about the etymology of an urban Dictionary word?
Did I stutter?
Are you not?
