I had look up "wordcell" and found a fascinating definition that leads to "nerd traps", "abstraction ladder" and "theorycel" in regards to crypto

Incel terminology is so horrible to try and explain. But yeah, for anyone confused, basically any word can be affixed with -cel (from celibate) and it “works” — e.g., numbercel, wordcel, gymcel, heightcel, narutocel, ycombinatorcel, etc.
Typically these would’ve been used by the incel community to describe why someone is an incel (e.g., “heightcels” supposedly being too short to be attractive and so on). Now, I see the terms being used not only unironically by actual incels but also ironically, usually on the fairly leftist/chapotraphouse-adjacent parts of twitter and such.
