No. I think it's one of those situations where the word has changed meaning for certain groups of people, like a game of telephone, because dopamine scrolling and doom scrolling are semantically close. It's kind of like how gen alpha has a different view of what "preppy" means than what previous generations would have thought.

Weird they do not even mention tiktok trend to intentionally mistype words (originally to circumvent certain content filters).

I would guess there is some link between this trend and the word `pretty`, but I'm no linguist or tiktoker

> adjective used to describe someone who dresses in fashion associated with college preparatory (“prep”) school that gives the impression of old money

>>a1o+2p
That's prepper not preppy

>>Dilett+Dx
I thought so, but apparently no

> We all know what the word preppy means, right? It’s the word we use to describe those rich kids that look down on anyone whose shoes cost less than a car. It’s the perfect word to describe the pompousness and snootiness of the crustiest of the upper crust.
