When a famous person goes from being the talk of the town to being forgotten, only remembered when someone makes a joke about them or mentions them in a ‘where are they now?’ rant. Usually happens after they try one last stupid comeback and fail so hard it’s like they jumped off a shark and landed in a pile of trash.
'Remember that guy from the 90s? He’s now just a punchline on a meme.'
‘She used to be huge. Now she’s just a footnote in a trivia game.’
‘He tried to come back with a new song. It was like listening to a broken recorder.’

When a word or idea that was once big and important suddenly vanishes, like it got hit by a bus and never came back. People forget it, it doesn’t show up in anything, and it’s just left to rot in the corner of the dictionary.
‘What does that word even mean? I’ve never heard of it.’
‘That phrase was everywhere last year. Now it’s just a ghost.’
‘Why is that word not in my vocabulary? It’s like it got deleted.’
3
A bunch of random letters and words that don’t make sense. It’s like someone typed with their eyes closed and their fingers on fire. It’s just chaos.
‘Why did I just read that? It’s like my brain died.’
‘That message was worse than my last ex’s text messages.’
‘I tried to understand it. My head started to hurt.’
4
A sentence that turned blue because it was linked to other words that were also forgotten or just barely remembered. It’s like the sentence got a blue highlighter and a bad grade.
‘That sentence was linked to three other words that are barely relevant now.’
‘It was colored blue because the word it was connected to was almost forgotten.’
‘That blue sentence was just a reminder of how irrelevant some words have become.’
