Just to make some of you feel old: I'm gen Z and I'm 25.
Get off my lawn!
Thanks, I hate it!
Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?
Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"
Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.
Yoink is older than scoobie doo
Zoinks
Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole "skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat" thing.
yeah i have no idea what most of those words mean. i only know that "rizz" is a short for charisma, and that gyat means a nice ass, probably
The most confusing part of that is that alpha are millennials' children. Meaning people from my generation spawned those things. What.
Some of us did.
Lots of millenials with Gen Z kids tho
Not a gen Z but I'm actually a fan of both of those words. It's like a forceful put or get.
Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.
Not the same verbs, and specific to Emacs, but I’m kind of sad cutting and pasting won over killing and yanking

Oh me too lol, use them all the time, anything that got popular past that though I need to get my little brother to translate
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't been in playschool when yeet became a thing.
*wouldn’t’ve
Well you know, I grew up in a rural, culturally lagged area, the slang didn't really catch up until tiktok
I am still in school and it confuses me already.
Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I'm a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don't even realise are slang as I'm using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.
Just to make some of you feel older, I’m gen z and I’m 26
Imagine being born last century
I guess I’m in a very narrow window of people who are gen z but born last century
Last millennia even
You're like the tribe elder of your timeline.
Cheers mate.
No.
