You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?

Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.

      I am struggling to see why it couldn’t also refer to the speed at which something stops accelerating, as well, when just used as a simple adjective/noun…

        you could, but it would be confusing. terminal velocity is a specific and well defined term that doesn’t simply mean ‘no longer accelerating’.
