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.
Tf is mald?
I believe it's supposed to be a portmanteau of "mad" and "bald," possibly implying that we were discontent merely because of age.
The portmanteau is correct, but "malding" means that the person is balding from sheer anger.
