What Does 'Aura Debt' Mean?

Brainrot Score: 6.4PREDICTIVE
[ SLANG ][ AURA ECONOMY ]

Accumulated social cringe or embarrassment that hasn't been 'paid off' yet, treated as a running negative balance that will eventually need to be offset by future aura-positive moves.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"He's been in aura debt since that group chat screenshot leaked, still hasn't recovered."

LORE & ORIGIN

Extends the existing aura-points economy into explicit debt vocabulary, letting people track cringe moments as an ongoing liability rather than a one-time deduction.
