First time I've seen this shortening (from 'low key' meaning sort of / don't want make a big deal of it - but also increasingly meaning "but actually very much"):
"[His] thing was lowk being a good [at it] and you're telling him he missed doing something and failed..."
I did a quick google to confirm it's not just a one off or typo. (This also revealed “LOWK” is the ICAO airport code for Klagenfurt Airport in Austria)
Has anyone heard this spoken?

"Gas prices ain’t nothing to a carless walkcel like me"
The "-cel" suffix is really gaining traction.
Going to make for interesting etymological path.PIE Roots: Uncertain, but likely from *kaiwelo- (alone) + lib(h)s- (living), implying "living alone".
Latin Root: Caelebs (unmarried, single).
Clipping and blending into a portmanteau "Involuntary + Celibate" = > "Incel"
Then we get a pseudo suffix "-cel" : "person who is (involuntarily) without X."Neato!

Today I bring to you "cornplating"
I made a few guesses before looking it up - mostly around "complaining" - but, no, it's origin story is actually just someone pointing out a plate of corn. It now means continuing to comment even after running out of useful observations.

Today I came across this monstrosity*: 'wagemaxxing goodbosscel' but I'm too tired to even really comment on it.
*The -maxxing suffix is my least favorite neologism ever

I saw "trained to filth" few days ago in reference to someone being very good at something and it really stuck with me.
Apparently it is a new twist on "read to filth" which means to harshly criticize, possibly related to reading someone the riot act?

Starting a running list of new phrases and words that I come across and find interesting.
Fist off: "nostalgia glazing"
I love the new use of glazing and glaze! I always think of a sticky donut.
