🔘 Ratioed


What does ratioed mean on Twitter?


◻️Receiving many more replies than likes on your tweet

Ratioed is when your tweet gets a disproportionately high number of replies and retweets compared to likes. It is not a good thing because it indicates that a lot of people are disagreeing with what you said instead of liking it.

The term gained popularity in 2017 as a way to label a tweet as universally disliked by other Twitter users. The name comes from the actual definition of ratio in mathematics but specifically describes the relationship between comments and retweets to likes.

Since ratioed has such a negative connotation, it has become another way to say that a person has been owned or dommed. For example, when a person makes a great argument that destroys a person's stance, he ratioed him. It has also become a challenge on Twitter where people post a reply to someone's tweet in hopes of getting a lot more likes than the original tweet.

While the term is primarily used on Twitter, you may also see it on other social platforms, like Facebook and Instagram, when comments vastly outnumber the likes for a post.


❓Example
Wow, her tweet about the president got ratioed hard.

🔘 Radio Baby


What is a radio baby?


◻️A person born between 1928 and 1945
A radio baby is a person that is part of The Silent Generation, the period when people are born between 1928 and 1945. They are born after members of The Greatest Generation and before the Baby Boomer (boomers) generation.
The name comes from the advent and subsequent prevalence of radios during the period in which they were born. In America, radio babies grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, which left an indelible mark on them. Because of this time of scarcity and uncertainty, their generation is significantly smaller than the generations before and after them.
In general, radio babies are parents of boomers and Gen Xers and grandparents of millennials and Gen Zers (aka zoomers). Additionally, the generation is often characterized as conforming to traditionalism (also known as "traditionalists"), hard-working, financially prudent, and resilient.


❓Example
My grandpa was a radio baby and so concerned about us not wasting any food.
Yeah, The Great Depression definitely left a mark on him.

🔘 Creeper

In Minecraft, a creeper is a hostile mob that sneaks up on players and then explodes. Creepers are a common aspect of gameplay and have become one of the icons of Minecraft.
In the game, creepers are a nuisance that pursues any player within a 16-block radius. When a creeper dies, it leaves behind gunpowders, a music disc, and experience points (when a player kills it).
Minecraft gamers created the term based on the stalker aspects of the mob that resemble socially invasive creepers in real life. If you use creeper with non-Minecraft gamers, they will probably think you're referring to the socially awkward people they know.

🔘 Based


What does based mean on social media and in forums?


◻️Agree

Social media and forum users use the word based to mean "I agree" or "that's cool." This slang term has an extensive history, but in its current form, it was first popularized by rapper Brandon "Lil B" McCartney - aka The BasedGod.

What is the origin of based?
In the past, calling someone based was meant to label them as freaky or eccentric. This variation of based was derived from the term basehead, which describes a person who freebases cocaine.
However, when critics began calling Lil B based, the rapper decided to reclaim the term. According to Lil B, "[b]ased means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do."
This version of based took off on 4chan. At first, posters in 4chan's music forums used based to praise experimental music. Then, the word migrated to 4chan's politics forums, where right-wing posters used based to agree with controversial actions they found brave.
Over time, based migrated into other netizens' lexicons. It is now most often used to agree with controversial opinions. However, based is also sometimes used sarcastically, to mock those who have absurd opinions or are doing absurd things.


❓Example
I've started mixing my coffee with OJ; it rocks.

🔘 GOAT


What does GOAT stand for?

GOAT is an acronym that stands for "Greatest of all time." You will most likely see the acronym in sports discussions when people are referencing the greatest athlete in a particular sport. You can also use GOAT to describe something that is really good, like a piece of pizza or TV show.

The acronym commonly appears in forums or on social media to discuss the best person or thing.

For more fun and flare, add the goat emoji next to the GOAT acronym.

Famous GOAT Debates

There may be no greater pastime than debating who or what is the best of all-time, whether it be sports, movies, TV, music, or food. Here are some of the most famous GOAT debates:

Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James

This is one of the most famous GOAT discussions, especially come NBA playoff time. Supporters compare stats, dominance, competition at the time, quality of teammates, influence, and of course, championships. Just like the conflict in the Middle East, this will never be resolved.

The Godfather vs. The Shawshank Redemption

This one comes from IMDb (Internet Movie Database), which is an online database of movies and actors.
Users are allowed to rate how good or bad they think a movie is and these two movies are at the top of the list. Part of this is actually due to fans of The Godfather and The Dark Knight down voting the other movie in an attempt to get to number 1.

This opened the door for The Shawshank Redemption, which is one of the most played movies on cable TV. Get busy voting or get busy dying.

Chicago style pizza vs. New York style pizza

This GOAT debate is all about preference. You got the Chicago style, also known as deep dish, with an abundance of tomato sauce, cheese, and assorted toppings. Then you have the exact opposite with New York style thin crust, tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. Can we just agree that both taste great?

Other GOAT Claims

Kanye West interrupts T Swift

Probably the most shocking GOAT claim ever was when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift after she won the VMA for Best Female Video.

He claimed that Beyoncé should have won because she had one of the greatest music videos of all time. His outburst birthed the "Imma let you finish" meme.

Muhammad Ali announces that he is the GOAT

We go all the way back to 1964 for the infamous interview with Muhammad Ali after he upset Sonny Liston. Ali declared that "I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived." Not much humility in that statement but there's no denying that he was the GOAT.

This hamburger is the goat!!
