shinigami

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

Japanese for "death god" or "grim reaper," popularized in Western culture through anime like Death Note and Bleach. Somehow also deployed as a cheeky insult for one's mother-in-law, because cross-cultural humor loves a good family dynamics joke. Use responsibly at family gatherings.

Example Usage

Ever since I binged that anime, I can't stop thinking about shinigami mythology.
