Most new words start in socially isolated communities and radiate outward as those outside the community are exposed. Generally this also causes a loss of original context that can lead to a drift in or loss of meaning from the original use in its origin community.

Both based and maxxing come from the alt-right / incel community originally, I believe.

Linguistics Nerd on YouTube has good videos on the origin of many modern slang words.

My personal opinion on how it went:

Trump Aide: suggests Dana White

Trump: “You mean the wrestler?”

TA: “nono” explains who Dana W White is

T: dreamy eyes “You know that Dana White is a huge guy, massive. Almost as big as me, when I was younger. And so fit! You know I love women, everyone says it, 'Trump loves women,” but a strong virile man like that? He wouldn’t take any shit from the fake news press pool. He could strong arm them, literally I mean this guys arms are so big."

T: calls Dana White for job offer

Edit:

Oop, I was right, I think.

Trump Shares Cartoon of UFC Fighters Beating Up Reporters after Offering Dana White Press Job

Very true to life meme. “11 spoonfuls” but actually 16. Same.

I thought it would break down the spending by state or to which PACs it went but, uh, that was not helpful.

How do I unsubscribe from powdered milk memes?

Thank you~
