Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.
Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.
It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.
That's so lit.
Congrats you've picked up middle aged slang from 10 years ago.
WHAAZAAAAP!?
My dude, welcome to the late 90s.
Mmmm, say that again.
Where's the beef?
gotchu fam
This whole thing is making me feel streets ahead.
That's heavy, Doc.
dat backflip doe
Zaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
I demand a prize.
It all comes back around sooner or later.
A few years ago everyone was saying "ouf" a lot, made them sound like my family member who was born in the 1930s.
I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?
Totes yeet, yo.
mood.
Wait… what? My god I’m so lost on all of this.
If you aren’t a teenager, that’s the point.
I’m a teen and I’m lost too
When I was a teen, I was lost too. Then I got used to being lost. Now, no matter where I go, there I am.
it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such
It's the opposite of yoink. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
That’s so camp it’s rizz
Plaza down!
It's not that i don't understand it, but seeing a 40 year old guy using tiktok language just feel wrong and creepy.
No cap fr, big yikes fam
I understand all of these, but now there are even newer ones that I cannot fathom
I feel seen.
When a hoopy frood gets old.
i guess i was old at 15
Omg I love to just fucking bastardize the slang on purpose.
Boomer? I barely know 'er
stacking treks with my tribble chaps
Me and the boys are getting our daily steps in today
?
To relate you need to at least know the slang...
Knarly.
This makes me irrationally mad
(It's obv supposed to be spelt gnarly)
I'm not even 18, HOW AM I OLD?
Glizzy is interesting
So mid.
Groovy meme, man.
Can we please bring back "groovy" and "radical" / "rad"?
Skibidi dub dub
And that's why, as someone with mild chronophobia, I check Rural Dictionary regularly.
me fr fr
I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.
What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?
Well then if you manage to pull it off that would be grooved, maybe even the wasp’s elbows
