I was explaining a slang term that someone misinterpreted. I don't use the term myself, but the nature of slang is it enters the popular lexicon before it's recorded in a dictionary. Before 2019, you wouldn't find the word "swole" in the dictionary, but you'd certainly hear gym bros throw it around. But, look what happened: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/swole

Language is a funny thing and it's constantly changing, but nice try.
