Could someone explain to this old fart what the kiki and bouba thing I keep seeing around the place is all about? Is it something to do with Köhler's work, or just something the urban dictionary hasn't yet catalogued?

📌

It is something to do with that work. One user just uses those words as "cool person" and "bad person"

I was the one who arbitrarily assigned meanings to the famous linguistic experiment entities:

Bouba = bad and cringe
Kiki = cool and good

I’m happy to be famous.

@uyouthe you're bouba

@Elyz it was just a regular morning when I visited devrant. You know, the usual. I immediately thought I was still dreaming when I saw this, but world around me seemed real. This was it. They added the “bouba alert” tab near mentions.

I opened it and there was just one item.
