It’s maybe a stretch to call 4chan speak like “copypasta” a technical term.

technical term or not, it has meaning.

an easier to understand example, then: "literally" - "in effect; in substance; very nearly; virtually: 'I literally died when she walked out on stage in that costume.'"

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/literally

"literally" now literally means "figuratively" because of the phenomenon I'm talking about.
