  Ratio’d is probably more Twitter slang than anything.

    For the uninitiated, to be “ratio’d” means you had more comments than likes.

    Because there are no downvotes on Twitter, being radio’d is synonymous with a shit take.

    I think it's more twitter slang. Sure it can be applied elsewhere. But I've mostly heard it used regarding twitter posts.

  Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was “nerd” talk

    this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right
