This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training" and it is not just some made-up internet term.
NEET is 100% a made-up internet term.
It was part of the curriculum in my Geography lessons in primary school 15 years ago, in a non-English speaking country, even though it's an English acronym.
Yep. Well known term in the UK and not derogatory.

every term ever used is a made up term my fellow internet user
Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say "bum", which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.
I never would have thought
Good point 😄
Neet has a "failure a launch" implication - a NEET has a home, a bum might be crashing on a couch
