      It’s making fun of people (generally Facebook boomers) who use the term “sweetie” condescendingly, but also can’t spell for shit.

      Or maybe the meme has evolved and I’m behind… lol

        You are a bit, akshully /s

        The slang “sweaty” is used loosely to mean competitive or like overly anxious. Usually in response to making some inane point.

        Comes from competitive gaming where other players who try to hard (“tryhards”) making gaming not fun for normal players.

        “Too many sweaty hard lobbies made my favorite game not fun to play. How can I get good when I just get killed over and over!”
