anon from below:

I think the exclamation point comes from the use in fic? Like when you have Dark!Steve Rogers, so you're using this adjective form to describe that the character or situation will play into these characteristics instead of their normal selves?

So instead of regular secrets, they're Fandom! secrets. And Maybe the "!" comes from query use in databases? In certain excel formulas, you use the "!" to mark something fixed, or unchanging...if I remember correctly...but this is all conjecture.

To my understanding, the use of the "!" between words is called a bangpath. In the olden days of computer systems you would use bangpaths for heightened specificity. So like, if you wanted to send an message to a specific group in a specific subset or a specific department of a specific company, you'd use a bangpath to specify the group!subset!department!company. I am about ten years too young to have personally experienced that era in computing, so this is second hand info, but I did look up bangpaths and they check out.

Oooo! Thanks for the tidbit! I knew someone here would pull up the information -- I certainly wasn't aware of this, but from my very very limited knowledge in programming and coding, the "!" was familiar.
