@LexYeen@snouts.online could I ask for an answer on this from you? you're the one who I saw using the term and thus prompted this question so I'd kinda like to know what it means when you use it
@LexYeen@snouts.online sorry to put you on the spot like this, i'm just very confused
@nautilee really? I've seen plenty of people using it in what doesn't seem to be a slur sort of way...
@nautilee including at least one person I normally trust to be pretty knowledgeable about that kind of thing
...well, everywhere I've seen it used and in common parlance, it's a slur. and it originally started as shorthand for a slur phrase.
@nautilee ...I remember hearing that it was a reference to the egyptian god thoth
@nautilee @queerzel@snouts.online I've seen people use it in ways that make it seem like it just means "horny"
bad words
@Felthry "that hoe over there", it started as a slur for women posting pictures of themselves on Instagram and was both
reclaimed (?) by people who use it to describe themselves in a positive way (like someone would refer to themselves as a slut)
and became a thing in the term "begone thot" like a banishment? I'm not sure why people use it but it's not in a nice way, at best as a problematic meme
after getting two answers I am now even more confused
