I was told the other day by someone younger than me that saying “okay boomer” is cringe now.
The new hot hip fan-didly-tastic slang is “unc status” or “aunt status”, apparently. Means the same thing, but in sleek Gen-Z packaging.
I feel like there is always some level of condescension when talking about other generations of slang and I wonder why. There’s a smack of snark to the redundant duplicated repetition of “hot hip fan-didly-tastic” and “sleek Gen-Z packaging”, and “cringe” is obviously derogatory. Can’t we casually accept that “the new slang is” what it is, and set an example for the younger ones in turn?

Couldn’t contemporary colloquialisms coexist comfortably?
I love using the new slang. It makes my kid turn red, which I find hilarious.
Fuck I am too old for my own generation. Mentally and from my speaking I am way more millenial than gen z
You arent alone lmao
Notably, – yet again – it’s also cribbing/misusing black slang/terminology; disappointing…
How so?
