Is negging the same as "shook"? or "triggered"?[/quote]

No, it's not.

HOWEVER:

I have noticed that many people use it interchangeably with "nagging", just as many people use "based" interchangeably with "biased."  My theory is that the majority of people using these stupid terms truly don't know what they mean, but have really poor vocabularies and don't ever read: they don't realize they are using a new word at all because they never knew how to spell or use the word the new term resembles.   It is exasperating.  Thus, I also hate the new, made-up, dumb words.

But I also remain "shook" at how many teenagers don't understand that "legit" is derived from "legitimate", or that "cringe" was originally (and still is also) a verb, and that "cringeworthy" might be a more "legit" choice in formal writing than the (new, dumb, only really works informally) adjective "cringe."  Don't even get me started on kids who try to write that Othello is jealous because he suspects Desdemona may be a "hoe" (a garden tool?  Really, you don't mean "ho"?).

I will see myself out now.
