        For the uninitiated, to be “ratio’d” means you had more comments than likes.

        Because there are no downvotes on Twitter, being radio’d is synonymous with a shit take.

        I think it’s more twitter slang. Sure it can be applied elsewhere. But I’ve mostly heard it used regarding twitter posts.

      It’s more Zillennial. The very top of the ladder of GenZ and the very bottom of Millennials.

      Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was niche talk

        this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right
