Etymology of STONK

The etymology of the word "stonk" is not well-documented and its origins are somewhat unclear. It emerged as internet slang and gained popularity with the rise of meme culture in the early 21st century.

One theory suggests that "stonk" is derived from the word "stock", referring to the stock market. It is possible that "stonk" was created as a deliberate misspelling or a playful alteration of the word "stock" to add humor or emphasize its unpredictability.

Another theory suggests that "stonk" may have originated from the video game "Battlefield 1942". In the game, a player could control a weapon called the "Sturmtiger", which fired artillery rounds. The loud firing sound effect became associated with the word "stonk", and the term later spread to describe the sound of heavy bombardment or intense attacks in general.
