Read it – Reddit

Don’t judge me but I just learned that “Reddit” is a play of words for “Read it”. Lol.

Here’s how I found out. I was in the middle of a convo with a good friend. I tried convincing him of an idea that I read a while ago. I screamed, “I READ IT” and it did sound like Reddit.

That’s the realization. So I searched for it, and found it to be true. Been using this app to read thoughts from anonymous people so it’s kinda cool to know it.

What about you? Any popular terms or words which you’d like to explain its origin?
