Maybe your desire to not find shit out is the reason you don't know shit?

nerf - verb, (slang) to water down, dumb down or especially weaken, particularly in video games.

Wild to me someone wouldn't know this, but maybe it's specific to video game circles? It's been around forever.

ayrt - it must be subculture-specific; I've never come across it before.

The lack of that knowledge could be subculture specific, to whatever subculture you belong to. That is possible too.

I think the term has moved outwards from its epicenter of “video game players”

Yeah, I've heard it many times in non-gaming contexts.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-04 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt - honestly, I think it is fun learning about my own bias, like things I assume are common knowledge that aren't always.

Like a Nerf gun. Toy guns powered by air and firing foam darts.

To "nerf" something is to make it less effective or powerful, usually used in a gaming context.
