This article provides an overview of linguistic strategies used in the incel community to deindividualize and dehumanize women. Among the most common ways of referring to women there is the use of generic labels ( Stacy ,  Becky ), conceptual metaphor ( warpig ,  landwhale ) including creative metaphorical morphology ( foid ,  femoid ), conceptual metonymy ( hole ,  extrahole ), and conceptual metaphtonymy ( roastie ). The consistent use of such terms within the incelosphere contributes to perpetuating harmful attitudes and potentially even justifying violent and abusive conduct towards women. For this reason, the language of dehumanization in general, and the misogynist discourse of incels in particular, warrants closer attention. This study is carried out within the methodological framework of cognitive semantics and adds to the expanding research on the discourse of the manosphere and the incelosphere.
