Moxiesplaining Day 27: Help Build the Moxie Dictionary! Even after the Moxiesplaining Journal experiment ends (Sep. 30), I'll still be working on a behind-the-scenes word nerd project: building the Moxie Dictionary. The Moxie Dictionary is a collection of Moxie-specific neologisms, slang terms, wordplays, customs, quirks, + witticisms that originated in the Moxie community. Feel free to tag me with potential additions + which accounts to credit. I'll prioritize terms that have caught on and are now widely used. Examples: - @wake started the Ⓜ️ emoji tradition for Ⓜ️oxie. - "Moxiemoron," coined by @kenjiquest, refers to "engagement baiting by asking nonsense clarifying questions." (h/t @zeni.eth) - "Moxiebaiting" (lol) is "pleasuring oneself by baiting high-follower accounts into engaging with your casts." (h/t @downshift.eth) What else should be added? (Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).
