The Phase II clinical trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of Incel administered intravenously

Mainlining incel, damn that doesn’t sound great at all

1999

It’s worth noting that its success might have prevented the common term “incel” from coming about.

PhlubbaDubba ,

Wasn’t Incel originally coined by a blogger in the 80s?

I really have no idea, but “blogger in the 80s” is kind of hilarious. The coining of a term can be hard to pin down, but it also matters a lot less than when it takes off. Looking at this ngram I think we can place the rise, when most people would become aware of it, in the early 2010s.
