Each person’s familiarity with new terminology and how new words are used depends on how tightly you keep your finger on the pulse of popular culture (or, to use a phrase that’s growing passé even as I write it, how “extremely online” you may be). “ What has happened with some of these acronyms is they've been given birth in ways that are similar to how slang terminology is introduced,” Baugh explains. “ It happens within a small group and then it spreads. The extent to which it lives or dies is then based on utility.” These days, social media can hasten that process. Load Error
The acronym BIPOC, which stands for “black, Indigenous, and people of color,” is one prime example. Though it’s now ubiquitous on social media, the earliest reference was a 2013 tweet. BIPOC intends to center the experiences of Black and Indigenous people, within the POC population, which encompasses all non-white people. While BIPOC is a relatively new term, POC has technically been around for centuries.
