Taking, in internet slang, refers to the act of claiming or appropriating someone else’s possessions, ideas, or actions as one’s own without giving credit or acknowledging the original source.
Examples:
1. Someone shares a funny joke on a discussion forum, and another user copies that joke and reposts it elsewhere without mentioning the original creator. This action can be referred to as “taking,” as the second user is not giving credit to the person who came up with the joke.
2. A popular YouTuber creates a unique video concept that becomes viral. Shortly after, another content creator releases a strikingly similar video with almost identical content, but doesn’t mention or acknowledge where they got the idea. This act of copying the concept without giving credit can be described as “taking” the original YouTuber’s idea and passing it off as their own.
