[ OLD WEB ][ GEN Z BRAINROT ]
The person who started a forum thread or Reddit post, referenced by role rather than name — a completely different, unrelated meaning from the existing slang "Op" (short for "opposition/opponent"), which this dictionary already covers separately; the two just happen to share the same three-letter shorthand.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"OP never came back to clarify what they actually meant, and the thread just spiraled from there."
LORE & ORIGIN
A structural forum-architecture term, naming the role a thread's structure creates rather than describing any personality trait or slang usage.
