**Bofa**: The first stage of a verbally transmitted disease.
Usually nonfatal and asymptomatic, however, once it progresses to [Stage 2] (Ligma), it is extremely dangerous. [Stage 3] (commonly referred to as [E-TMA]) is incredibly uncommon due to the [Ligma's] astronomical fatality rates (99.87%), and thusly has never been observed in laboratory conditions.
Currently, Bofa has no known cure and can only be treated temporarily by passing it on to another host. This has caused Bofa infection rates [to skyrocket] in the recent weeks, in what is being referred to as "a verbal pandemic outbreak" of unprecendented scale. Passing Bofa to a new host also causes a surge of dopamine in the original host, promoting further [proliferation].
The evolution of Bofa into Ligma has been shown to be linked to online presence, most often to real-time videographic streaming specifically. Those individuals involved in videographic streaming are strongly advised not to stream content until the trigger conditions for Ligmosis are identified and preventative measures are developed.
Also see [Sugma], a variant strain of Ligma on which little research has been conducted.
*Fortnite Player: Did you hear about Ninja? He was streaming on Twitch when he caught [Ligma] and died!
Me, an Intellectual: He must have been an idiot. You can only contract Ligma if you allow Bofa to go untreated.
