girn

Pronounced: GURN, verb/noun

Notes: Looks like a misspelled “grin”


Yesterday’s word

The word tweep is “a person who uses Twitter (for anyone who doesn’t know, Twitter is a online messaging service – it’s now called “X”).

First usage

Our word came into English in the first decade of the 2000s

Background / Comments

I am not really a Twitter (X) user, so I have not heard the our word. I do know that the messages are called “tweets”. Our word is what is known as a portmanteau word: a combination of tweet and peeps (slang for “people”).
