    So it isn’t a made up word at all.
    It clearly is as you have noted. It is a word coined to describe "a number with 100 zeroes after it."

    Rather like the words "nice" and "presently" have changed their meanings over time.

        No one, as far as I am aware, has yet created the neologism Binging or Duck Duck going
        And? That has no relevance.

        I have never heard that term - sorry.
        Your ignorance of the term has no impact on the discussion.

                    I looked it up and it strikes me as yet another rather pointless neologism that no doubt will serve to cause even more confusion and Twitter storms.

                    Given the state of the planet there are, in my opinion, more important things with which to concern ourselves.

                      Likely because Germany does not have a high percentage of people of Latin American descent much less a significant number of gay ones let alone the militantly silly ones.

                        Thanks for confirming that that is exactly what I said.

                        I have no idea what other meanings for those words are. However, I do know how the word "gay" has been corrupted.

                            .
                            "googling" however is a verb unrelated to that noun, similar to using master as a pronoun.

                              It has merely changed its meaning. There is nothing corrupt about it.

                                With your logic, every word we use was coined/invented.

                                That's your opinion.
