“The horrors persist, but so do I”

I think an erection is not necessarily needed for infection to occur, but it might help with the… logistics.

I mean basically anything can, there was a time in the early 2010s where the word “Atze” came up as a way to say homie, which was attributed to some rappers using it. Funnily enough the term came from the 1700s iirc.

Would I be right in thinking people would find it weird in maybe the same way that people find it weird when you say “lol” irl?

Yes, similar, maybe ‘zuhausys’ would be even more obscure.

I’m assuming ‘Zuhausys’ is a German equivalent of ‘the homies’ considering it contains the word “Haus”.

Correct, it is derived from the English homie and mainly found in Internet communities that use a lot of “Zangendeutsch”. Irl people would look at you funny if you used it.

In spoken slang people often use “Kollegen” (colleagues) or “Kumpels” (buddies) to describe a group of friends.
