 Has the word "comfy" always been used? It has old entries on Urban 
 Dictionary, but I feel like I've been hearing that word only for the 
 last 5-6 years or so.
 
 If u mean in the 4chan sense (where it means "cozy" rather than comfort-
  able), it took off around 2013-2014 from what I remember, I think on 
  /v/ or /sp/ initially
  
  But as a general word, I've heard it my whole life. In fact, wiktionary 
  says "Origin: early 19th century" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comfy
  
  I always consider teh word 'comfy' as rule 8 - thus not used it.
   
   Well, only when used in that particular way - saying something liek 
     "this chair is comfy" or "I bought a comfy sweater" is teh proper 
     usage, while saying "this anime is comfy" or "this is a comfy board" is 
     teh dumb 2010s 4chan usage ヽ(´ー`)ノ
