Sufi-isms: San Francisco slang, twelve centuries late

sufisms.org Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A 48-entry lexicon that reinterprets San Francisco startup slang through Sufi vocabulary, theology, and spiritual practice.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The page uses alphabetical navigation to move through 48 slang entries, assigning each a part of speech and a Sufi-inflected gloss. “7 girls of SF” points to the concept of the seven abdāl, while “AI psychosis” becomes a warning about undertaking a path without a guide. Arabic terminology appears alongside the English explanations, and the site labels its chains unaudited while noting that ijāza is pending.
