About

Zumping is a slang portmanteau of the words Zoom and dumping. The word, meaning to break up with someone on the video conferencing site Zoom, first circulated Twitter in April 2020 during the coronavirus outbreak.

Origin

On April 9th, 2020, freelance writer for BuzzFeed and Twitter user @juliamoserrrr tweeted, "am i the first person who's been dumped via zoom?" which received over 62,800 likes and 1,800 retweets in five days. Twitter user @wangjexi[3] replied with the word "Zumped" which gained over 360 likes in five days (shown below).

Spread

On April 13th, 2020, Twitter user @TaylorLorenz[4] shared both a BuzzFeed[2] and Guardian[1] Article about "zumping" (shown below, left). The tweet garnered over 320 likes in a day. That same day, Twitter user @not_about_love_ [5] shared a Gossip Girl Title Remix meme with the caption, "why don’t i have a bf who will zump me on zoom" (shown below, right).
