EverQuest "Twink" was the term used for low lvl super geared players. or

@frank22 I've been reliably informed by GenZ and Gen Alpha relatives that the original meaning is more or less obsolete now. Pretty much in the same way as the term ''Bishy''. They've entirely - sometimes, admittedly for the better, often for the worse - redefined many English terms, such as ''bet'', ''cap/no cap'', ''slaps'', ''thicc'' (spelt that way,too etc.)

They also refer to a ''problematic'', or anti-hero ''twink'' (in its new meaning) as ''babygirl''/ ''babygurl'' because said guy is ''cute.''

I'm a Millennial, but the new definitions baffle me sometimes. Lol

So, it would seem that ''Twink'' has overtaken/usurped ''meterosexual'' in common parlance. Lol

@d0gg0d It looks as though Gen z/Gen Alpha have completely repurposed it.

It's like the ''ick'', for example. As a Millennial - and maybe this is only within my own friend /family group, but we used to call it the ''blank''. Meaning that someone you were dating and super attracted to did or said something small, but irritating, that you found so off putting, and completely killed your romantic feelings for that person stone dead. To me the ''blank'' makes more sense, as it perfectly illustrates the lack of feelings where once they existed, the ''ick'' is just lazy! Lol
