That's just language in general, people together create lects like dialects, sociolects, etc. Just like how a group of friends have inside jokes only they know. Or memes emerge online to serve as symbols and references for communication.

Hexbear is an independent online social space, so of course we'd eventually see our own slang and lects! We even have our own lore, but I don't get it too much either tbh

Yeah like the one poster who wanted to fuck the bunny cop

I realize how that sounds. Maybe we should have a wiki like someone else suggested

Wow there's some interesting stuff on there lmao

Just imagining the corpus of something like "dorner hovercar" is entertaining on its own

Just make sure its Miraheze or something else that is not Fandom... that wikipedia maker puts a lot of intrusive ads into their content

It's just an image of the Hexbear iceberg. I hate to say that I understand about ninety percent

I'm just advising that if you're going to make a wiki on this... don't use Fandom... not the image itself...
