look, all you people saying " its not important for me to learn these words" are missing the fact that we get to be the old uncool adults that ruin these words,be that weird aunt that using the slang in the wrong way, or the dad repeating the same line until its beaten to death, Its our hard earned right to make the younger generations words lame and cringe!
So you’re saying I should skibidi that sigma fanum tax gyatt to help make it stop?
… I hate that I typed that.
Rizz can stay though. That ones decent.
Yeah we can keep rizz. I, a 37 year old millennial, could fully explain that one to my boomer mom in a sentence fragment. That's a symptom of slang for the ages.
I'm also 37 and I can't decipher between which ones are real and which ones are made up at this point, and I'm totally okay with it. Where do you, personally, get exposure to this language? My assumption is gaming but I have no idea. I'm not sure what I stopped doing that I'm so out of touch (other than I stopped being cool (a long time ago)).
Gaming, gamer youtube channels, talking to my middle school aged niece. She'll occasionally come out with an adjective that I have to determine the meaning of via context clues. Most of what she says that I don't understand is either talking about cartoon series I've never seen or Chromebook-era school software. Kinda like I had to stop and explain what Math Munchers was to my parents.
