As a man who mildy electrocuted himself working on his own house yesterday I must say I'd rather be an influencer.
I'm going to be annoying and tell you that you were mildly shocked, not electrocuted. "Electrocute" specifically refers to lethal exposure to electricity, as a portmanteau of "electric" and "execute".
Though I think the word is starting to go the way of "literally".
If electrocution is lethal, mild electrocution would be sub-lethal and just make you with you were dead, yes?
