    Well I’m sure it’s been in use for a while, but not in mainstream internet lingo is my point.

    Speaking for myself, I only learned about this term a year or so ago, because I remember looking it up, and I remember thinking: huh, so there’s a word for that now. Since then, I’ve seen it come up several times, almost always in greentext posts like this one.
