lore accurate

The term lore accurate refers to something that aligns or is true to the established background, history, or pattern of a particular context—whether that context is fictional (e.g., a book, movie, or game) or real-life (e.g., a person’s habits or behaviors). It can be used to describe actions, traits, or details that stay consistent with what is known or expected based on prior information.

In fiction: It refers to being consistent with the established world-building, mythology, or character backstory of a fictional universe. For example, a character’s actions or appearance may be described as "lore accurate" if they are faithful to how they were originally portrayed.

In real life: It is used humorously or casually to describe someone’s behavior or actions that are in line with their well-known habits, personality traits, or tendencies. It suggests that a person’s actions are unsurprising because they align with their established "lore," or history.

Fictional context:

"The new Star Wars movie was great, and Rey’s powers were very lore accurate. She uses the Force just like it’s been explained in previous films."

Real-life context:

"I can't believe you ate an entire pizza by yourself again!"

"Well, it’s lore accurate—I’ve been doing this since college."
