I'm an accomplished native English speaker, but suspect this may be written in a foreign language. strokes beard adjusts bow tie .

You got me curious about something…

Oxford English Dictionary - Aura, 2.c.

[year] 1870–

A supposed subtle emanation from and enveloping living persons and things, viewed by mystics as consisting of the essence of the individual, serving as the medium for the operation of mesmeric and similar influences.

”Peculiar substances can be charged with the efflux or aura of the human being.”

P. B. Randolph, Seership! (1884)

I don't even understand what the joke is here? Is "aura" the word you're taking issue with? It's not like a sentence filled with Gen Z slang. And aura has been around for at least a hundred years.

You also have a positive score, so the comment about being down voted doesn't make sense either.

Thank you both. I've never had the honour of having a comment downvoted so many times on Lemmy, so I presume that I raised some Gen Z hackles with my response. I know what an aura is, of course.
