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

Bidets are bourgeois, don't you know
They are not. People have them in the Philippines, and most of them are not bourgeois
The person who said that is still active here, and every time I see them post all I can think about is how they think washing your asshole is bourgeois decadence
Maybe he's a contrarian to J. Peterson's saying of "wash your balls" or something like that
