Hearing a coworker from Uber joke about how his colleagues felt up Beyoncé at a corporate event made me want to throw hands, frankly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-maxxing
Linguist Adam Aleksic traced the development of -maxxing and related incel vocabulary to 4chan, where the absence of user accounts meant the only way to signal experience was through fluency in shared slang. Terms like maxxing, mogging, and cucked functioned as what Aleksic called "metalinguistic indicators"—markers that an anonymous poster was a committed member of the community rather than an outsider.[9] The vocabulary later spread through Reddit, where incel users promoted looksmaxxing language as helpful suggestions on "rate me" subreddits even after dedicated incel communities like r/Incels were banned. These forums continued to normalize the jargon, making it easier to both take seriously and parody.[10]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5tpeegki5ho2bxsyypv6cngx/bafkreidyuctwucohwsp2z75vqhuk37xgv5nurwovk34vt3myrri3ep3dem)
