peculiar
little piece of vernacular. People lately seem awfully fond of throwing around the bit named... yep, you guessed it... 1, 2, and especially, the dreaded 3, followed by that damned numeral:
"manager1."
Now, before we go full-bore apoplexy, let's unpack this. Frankly, I think it started as a pathetic attempt at being edgy—a little bit of internet mischief masquerading as… something. There’s no real, solid origin, and honestly the guys who originally coined the thing have long since vanished into the murky depths of whatever online forum birthed that monstrosity.
