At my last job some intern burst into Slack calling everyone "mald" for disagreeing with his sexist memes. That whole event was just a couple of hours.

I assume the intern meant malding? As in, he's saying everyone was upset.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I believe it's supposed to be a portmanteau of "mad" and "bald," possibly implying that we were discontent merely because of age.

[-] HatchetHaro 40 points 1 year ago

The portmanteau is correct, but "malding" means that the person is balding from sheer anger.

[-] undefined@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 year ago

It's a slang term used as a verb usually. To mald is to be mad. He was calling them mad.

Maybe maid? But i am not the original commentor

[-] Schmeckinger@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Mad while balding.
