Edgy

Edgy (from the Old English ecg meaning 'corner, point, sword, dead baby jokes') is a word commonly used OTI to denote things that are shocking, provocative, uncompromising or avant-garde or that are dark, scary and gothic in nature.

Fuck the children! Literally! With the rotten, severed cock of saint-among-men, Jimmy Savile!

	“	As far as I can make out, 'edgy' occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy - not to mention the spending money - out of the 'youth culture'. So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be dangerous when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan.	„
	—Daria, hitting the twisted, rusty nail on the head. With a 4,000lb sledgehammer smeared with the brains of retarded babies lmao.

Although, once upon a time the word may have been used unironically, nowadays edgy is almost always derogatory in nature, denoting that the edgy person in question (commonly known as edgelords) are sad, attention-seeking and immature losers who are trying too hard.

Ironically, despite their inconoclastic nature that drives them to love shocking and offending people, most edgelords are incredibly easy to offend and upset themselves, usually simply by pointing out how incredibly childish and stupid they are.
