      I was more confused about “a neet” tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism 😬

            UrbanDictionary is generally offensive in all their definitions, but even so, you skipped past the first definition with 19x as many upvotes (at 16% downvotes) to show the one with 67% downvotes

              I didn’t look at the votes, just went with a concise one that was a bit more neutral than most of the others 🤷

        What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” and it is not just some made-up internet term.

          Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say “bum”, which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.
