The Verge has a long running joke that Bing is very horny.
Bulging browsers, throbbing with Spyware, thirsty for your data. Hot single browsers near you?
A weird synonym for "Desperately".
It’s gen z for horny.
That meaning of it predates gen Z by a long way.
I’d never in my life seen or heard it used in that sense until like 5 years ago.
Interesting. It was part of the slang vocabulary at my high school, roughly 40 years ago.
Wonder if it’s a regional or subculture thing that only spread to everywhere relatively recently?
That must be the case. But I've seen it used online for a lot of years as well, so I don't think it's strongly geographical. It may have to do with what crowds you tend to run with.
This reminds me a lot of when my daughter was a teenager and started using terms like LOL, etc. She thought they were modern and was shocked to learn that they'd been in use from well before she was born.
