Haterade is the metaphorical beverage that haters drink — bitterness, envy, and negativity bottled up and served cold. The word riffs on the sports drink Gatorade, reframing hatred as something you consume and become fuelled by. Telling someone to 'stop drinking the haterade' is a way of calling them out for unnecessary negativity or jealousy. The word exploded through hip-hop and AAVE into mainstream internet culture.

She blocked half her comment section because people were just guzzling haterade instead of engaging with her work.
Origin: Portmanteau of 'hate' and 'Gatorade'; popularised in hip-hop and AAVE in the early 2000s. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
