I think people just started saying it, boringly
it's funny how these things happen. during covid early days I was talking to someone else who saw through the bullshit and was searching for a word to refer to the people who didn't.. .. while also expressing that belief in the bullshit was not about whether it was true or not, but really was a question of conformity.. ..and the people I wanted to refer to were conforming about everything, not just this..
..and the word "normie" came into my mind, and I said it.
I literally think that in that moment I had invented the word. I didn't think I'd heard it before.
but I don't think everyone else uses it because they heard it from me - but rather lots of people like me went through the same process and at some point found the same word - and soon it was ubiquitous
fascinating - and I guess it happens a lot
anyway that's where I think ngu may have come from
