I feel dead at 24
You can make up words at any age.
If you also make up a way to pronounce them, a grammar and potentially a culture to go with it, you’ve just made a conlang
Older generations need to start inventing slang again to noogle the kids.
Even if you have a butcher’s at what already exists the belly fruits won’t know whether to shit or go blind, you can really lair it up
These jerps don’t know their hand from their splint when it comes to laying lair, kin. Ytk tho on some true dangler shit lololol
This helped me but it is only valid for 15 minutes
13 of those terms are not new at all lol glad to see there’s at least some overlap between generations.
Now if we can just psyop them into using “rad” and “sick” again 👀
I am a bit older than 24 and enjoy learning the new patoi tbh. It’s super interesting to me how language evolves endlessly in all these innumerable offshoots and how niche cultures generate all these different codes and concepts and wordplay and stuff.
I like that the youth are forever both borrowing from the old and scouting new grounds of their own in these ways and in countless others as well. So the renewal and rechristening of culture is based and I-like-it-pilled akchooly 🤓
Bro you are so hip that your rizz is higher than the Empire State Building.
That’s so skibidi Ohio, chat, no cap.
This is something I don’t like - calling the viewers “chat”. I mean, it’s gender neutral, but I’d just randomly call them Ladies, Gentlemen, Ladymen, Gentles, viewers, guys, gals, bros, sis’s, folks, roflcopters, grills…
I’m no streamer btw. Maybe I‘d just get skibidi cancelled lol xD
I’m cool with it for streams, but it got really confusing because I’ve also heard slightly older young’uns refer to ChatGPT as “Chat”
So, like, “Idk I heard it from Chat” can either be a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust random twitch users, or a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust inchoate AI tech.
Scientists: (hold beer) …
“Yeet” is 10 years old now.
Jesus Christ… I’m old enough to have kids that would have said yet… where’s my ibuprofen?
I like to use 1920s slang to even things out.
Well, got to skedaddle.You would have been a child when yeet started becoming popular though
Isn’t he cheering in that scene?
The earliest urban dictionary entry for yeet was made in 2008, when you are literally part of the generation that popularized the word.
And it was a dance move performed on bikes. Literally pumping the chest up and down with arms spread wide (like flying an airplane), while riding a bicycle, in a group.
I remember using it around the early 2000s to be throwing something.
I remember early 2010s, people were making funny videos yelling “YEET” & throwing things super far.
