It’s street slang for “INvoluntary CELibate”, i.e. a young man who’s such a schlub that he can’t get any action.
Granted, the dating/social scene has become so skewed and screwed-up in recent years that it’s become easier and easier for somebody to wind up in that position....
After I retired from the military (2000), I got into a conversation with a young female airman who lived in the barracks. She was negative about her dating situation, and I said....well, you live in the co-ed barracks, there ought to be plenty of guys there. She just laughed. Around 40-percent of the guys were gamers, and had no social life. She laid out this lifestyle that they had, and I couldn’t believe all this time from Friday afternoon to Monday morning....being wasted on video games.
You look around today, this INCEL term is applied to a heck of a lot of young guys.
Lefties complaining about a problem they actually could fix. Just needs some egalitarian feminists, willing to abort any consequences, to start a “Hug an incel campaign.” Given the likely mix of volunteers the experience might otherwise traumatize them, but at least they’d no longer be incel.

Have all the hookers gone out of business? Geez.
