Yeah, it’s gained popularity with it’s bastardization. The concept of “aura points” for example I’m certain is new lol. Thanks for the source btw.

Well yeah, and has been extensively used in games to express persistent area effects centered in an individual, but I’m talking about the recent use in describing someone charismatic. I’d be surprised if you found a text from 160 years ago with a semblance of “to have aura”, classically it’s a “strong aura”, “imposing aura”, “calming aura”, you need to know what the aura is about to understand. In current slang “charismatic aura” = aura.

I guess that it’s similar to the trend of saying that something is aesthetic or aesthetical when they mean that something is aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, new slang is apparently mostly shorthands of actual words. Aura also is like charisma too, charisma so strong that you can see it around the person, so, aura.

They make sense.

Apparently it’s a thing. Like saying “it’s giving (cha)rizz (Matic) (vibes)” aka “it’s transmiting a lot of charisma” or " it’s charismatic", you gotta infer from the context what the full sentence means.

I don’t think “washed” by itself is being used a lot, but economising sentences by removing parts and them being inferred via context IS something that is done a lot by young people. We used to just use initials, they are cutting words instead, lmfao.
