👉 Abnormalizing is the act of making something abnormal or unusual into normal. It's a term that was used to describe ways people made things they were not used to doing by applying certain behaviors or actions that seemed out of place.
Imagine being invited to a dinner party where you're supposed to serve food, but instead, someone brings a bowl filled with a completely normal-looking soup and asks if they can use it as their main dish. You might say something like "I'll just bring the pot back to the kitchen to make some soup." This is called an abnormalizing act - it's not abnormal to have a bowl of soup, but you're making it look like it's the only way to feed the people at the party.
Here’s an example sentence using the slang word "abnormalizing":
"I'm really excited for our weekend getaway, but I'm just going to stay at home and watch some Netflix instead."
