Tiktok has been such a facilitator it’s unbelievable. Within a week or two a word I’ve never heard a single white person use will be a part of the average genZer’s/genAlpha’s lexicon. Plus they will then be called “meme words” 💀

I do not really care but something will always be uncomfortable about a 13 year old white kid saying rizz and gyatt in every other sentence.

    gyatt

    God I fucking hate this term so much it's not even a word it's just onomatopoeia 💀 we already have plenty of terms for ass/booty/cake

    Language evolves and changes and I'm aware things change between generations but like damn man this feels like a complete regression. I blame capitalism

    Wait at the risk of sounding incredibly old and white gyatt means ass? I thought it was supposed to be like an alternate phonetic spelling of "Got Damn"

    The etymology I'd always heard for "gyatt" was that the meaning went from the exclamation "got damn" itself, to something that might make one exclaim "got damn" -- namely, a big ole sexy bumbum

    It really is weird hearing American suburban white kids on TikTok talking like the inner city kids I went to school with when I lived in the US. It’s really irritating to hear black slang referred to as “gen Z slang”
