Neg

A strategy to pick up chicks that incels popularized circa 2012. It involves tossing a mild insult at a girl disguised as a compliment in a attempt to bring down their confidence enough to like you either as a date or as a friend. Unfortunately most girls have now heard about this and if they realize they are experiencing a neg, it can massively backfire

Edit: often initiated by the boys with acne at uchicago

Boy: oh you’re studying AI? You must be smart but I tried it and found it boring.

Girl: are you trying to neg me rn?

*walks away and tells all her friends about how you tried to neg her and they all look at you across the room*
