susidomjim

Susidomjim is a neologism that has appeared in online discourse to describe a pattern in which suspicion about a subject recurs and propagates through a community in a domino-like cascade of posts, comments, and memes. The term functions as a label for both the triggering suspicion and the subsequent rapid spread of related content, regardless of the initial veracity of the claim.

Origin and etymology: The coinage appears informal; it seems to blend elements from suspicion or suspicious with domino to evoke cascading propagation, and includes the suffix -jim as a generic stand-in name seen in online memes. There is no identified single author or definitive origin.

Usage: Susidomjim is used primarily in informal online discussions, forums, and social media to describe phenomena where a small suspicion amplifies into widespread discourse. It is not yet recognized by major dictionaries or linguistic corpora.

Reception and status: As of now, the term remains an informal slang item or meme descriptor rather than a formal concept in academic literature. Some readers view it as a playful shorthand; others caution that it risks overgeneralizing complex information dynamics.

Related concepts: Information cascade, rumor propagation, misinformation, conspiracy theories, moral panic.
