other than being a word describing something that relates to sound, it’s a purposely misspelt version of ‘autistic’ that some stupid fucks say (usually online) on videos of being cringey, stupid, etc. People w/o a sense of humour do this because they 1. saw everyone else doing it and thought it was funny (its not, every time you see one of those comments you’re lying down being a lazy fuck an don’t laugh or smile at all because its overused, unfunny and offensive) 2. think that autistic is an insult or adjective because they’re uneducated and learnt everything off tiktok. Or even more commonly, 3. a combination of 1 & 2
its not fucking funny and it never was, use words for their actual meanings. and if u are going to replace words with others that sound similar make it make it sense. autistic is not an insult, dont try and cover up ableism by saying ‘acoustic, restarted, artistic 🤓’ shut the fuck up you have no personality and are uneducated as hell. next time if you want to be funny, come up with something that is NOT 🚫 offensive 🚫 and IS ✅ original ✅
dont forget if there weren’t so many stupid people who made the phrase ‘popular’, it makes you look dumb as fuck. even w/o it being trendy you still look dumb as fuck- take a step back and look at what ur actually writing- and the comments that have 14k likes that say the same thing. how many times did you audibly laugh at that joke? chances are none. dont make fun of something you clearly dont know shit about
