Warning: my nephew kept saying 'aura points' at Thanksgiving and now I catch myself using it at work
I fought it for a month until I dropped 'that's minus 50 aura points' in a meeting about a missed deadline and everyone laughed, so now I'm honestly asking, is this one sticking around or dying by spring?

This is exactly how it goes too, the people who fight it the hardest are always the ones who end up saying it the most. My niece got me with "giving" last year, like "that outfit is giving lunch lady," and I rolled my eyes so hard. Then two weeks later I told my friend her ex was "giving broke energy" and I wanted to crawl under a table. The thing about aura points is it actually does a job nothing else does. You can roast someone for doing something dumb without it sounding mean, because the fake math makes it a joke. That is why it spreads at work so fast, it lets people call out stuff in a way that keeps things light. Words like this either die in a month or they stick for years, and the ones that stick are the ones that fill a gap, and minus 50 aura points fills a real gap. So yeah I would bet on it lasting past spring, sorry.
