01 / THE MEANING

What does hornyposting mean?

Hornyposting means posting expressions of sexual desire or sexually explicit commentary online. It names a kind of posting, not a particular application, account setting or medical condition. The base verb is hornypost.

The label may describe somebody’s own behavior or criticize the tone of a thread. A post about the meaning of the word is a discussion of vocabulary, not necessarily an instance of the behavior. Read what the post actually says instead of inferring private conduct from the label.
