pedposlat

Pedposlat is a term that appears in Czech online discourse and online meme culture, used to describe the act of forwarding a message with an explicitly pedantic or corrective tone. The word is not part of formal dictionaries and is primarily encountered in forums, social media, and comment threads. It combines the verb poslat, meaning “to send,” with the prefix ped-, which in this context evokes pedantry or careful scrutiny rather than anything illicit.

Usage and connotation tend to be ironic or humorous. A person who pedposlat something often adds comments or annotations that question sources, spelling, or context, turning a simple share into a device for pointing out perceived flaws. The behavior can be seen as highlighting mistakes, offering corrections, or signaling a superior-to-others attitude. In many communities the term is used self‑ironically by people who recognize they are forwarding content with excessive precision, while in others it serves as a pejorative label for anyone who forwards with a corrective stance.

Origin and spread of the term are not well documented. It likely emerged in informal Czech-language online spaces during the 2010s and propagated through memes, thread-based discussions, and casual dialogue. Its exact etymology remains the sum of its parts rather than a traceable historical source, and its prevalence can vary by community and platform.
