"Ahoyt" is a term coined by Joshua Block. The word is a blend of "Hoyt," referring to the Hoyt–Schermerhorn Street subway station in New York City, and "ahoy," a nautical greeting in reference to Josh being known as the 'captain'.
Background
Joshua's obsession with Hoyt-Schermerhorn likely has to do with him creating a video in reference to Michael Jackson's "Bad" music video, which was filmed at the station.[1]
Josh regularly posts a selfie of him at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn St subway station, captioned "Ahoyt". The community has used these photos as an aid to compare Josh's constantly deteriorating state at different points in time. This has been ongoing since at least 2021.[2]
