proompt
Language: English
Part of speech: verb
Pronunciation: /pɹuːmpt/
Forms: form: proompts
form: proompting
form: proompted
form: proompted
Etymology: An alteration of prompt, possibly on the pattern of coom, influenced by the 4chan -oomer suffix for forming Wojak names and derogatory agent nouns.
In modern usage, the misspelling is deliberate, but accidental errors can be found much before the widespread adoption of AI.
Senses: examples: text: I like image proompting, but I don't always have a bot idea for every image I make.

ref: 2023 May 23, foodman54, “Introducing GameIdeaGenerator: Unleash Your Creativity in Roblox!”, in Roblox Developer Forum:
text: "Catastrophic Forgetting" is a well researched topic in GAN and diffusion models, where the more training you perform, it "forgets" prior training: this is most visible in some of the lower quality ""finetunes"" floating around, where the model output reliably reflects a certain style, but contains very little flexibility to produce anything but standing/leaning cowboy shots of medium bust girls facing the camera. I'm not sure that this could ever be "beaten" (and if so, it would be by some research team at harvard, not some rando trying to proompt the biggest horkiest tiddies on their 3090) ..^([sic])

Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈɡuːmə(ɹ)/

Forms: form: goomers
Etymology: Blend of game + coomer, or made up of game + -oomer (Wojak-naming suffix). Originally the name of a Wojak character (also capitalized as Goomer), popularized on 4chan starting in 2019.
Senses: examples: text: ok goomer
text: Gaming is a much more significant problem than cooming. A normal person can jerk off for an hour or two a day, max. You can waste your entire life playing video games. And pretending that you're a knight or dragon like a fucking six-year-old is more pathetic than jerking off to trap porn. Tens of millions of young men are wasting their lives away on gaming. This problem will only become more severe as our technological capacities increase.
Needless to mention, excessive gooming (or any gooming) also leads to the atrophy of your muscles and it eventually turns your brain into mucus much worse than even weed could.
Don't let it happen to you. Don't be a goomer.

text: The sixth and last animal of our menagerie is the fox-drunk man. He is crafty, ready to trade horses and cheat if he can. Keen to strike a bargain, leering around with low cunning, peeping through cracks, listening under the eaves, watching for some suspicious thing, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of them all.

text: The reverse-types of the bronze coins issued at Athens under Hadrian, though they are admittedly inferior from the purely aesthetic point of view and receive but scant, if any, attention in books on Imperial art, are monuments of the greatest interest and importance for studying the history of art and for gauging the artistic mentality of the times; they would make an excellent starting-point for the study of art in Hadrianic Greece.

text: Archaism in Antiquity was never so varied as it is today, nor was it ever used in quite the same virtuoso-like way, but it does have a long history in Graeco-Roman art. Its principal flowering came in the late Hellenistic period and, especially, in Hadrianic art, but its roots, like so many other innovations in Greek art, are traceable to the period between 480 and 450 b.c., when it is quite apparent in the work of a group of Attic vase painters , of whom the foremost was the Pan Painter.
