Excuse me, I speak jive

The skull emoji represents laughter, not shock, though. It's more like "This guy is serious? Oh my god, that's hilarious!"

Something something kids these days. /s

I wonder how long it'll be before trying to say anything resembling this will get the reply "okay boomer" and "nobody my age talks like that anymore". God I feel old.

Would be great if people wrote in plain, simple English though.

this blud fr ong 💀💀💀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's honestly so lame to say, imagine being against colloquialisms and slang which is literally the best part of language. I get it I roll my eyes at it too sometimes but mostly when it's disingenuous or pretentious. For example some middle class white kid talking like a gangster that shit is cringy.

Whenever I see someone talking like this I always think it's probably some teenager somewhere talking like this online because they think it's cool.

That’s some ‘get off my lawn’ energy lol.

Every generation has its slang, and there’s always people on the older gens that are like ‘speak ENGLISH you ruffians!’

I guess im older than I thought

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

really only have to be over 25 to feel this effect. but it gets stronger the older you get.

that said, i do think it's funny how often we look to the kids to decide what's 'cool' or 'popular'. the closer i get to 40 the less i benchmark what's cool against younger people. but i also choose not to judge younger people and their slang because, if we are willing to actually be self-reflective, we all sounded like idiots as kids with our slang. just becaues we have nostalgia about it doesn't mean 'hella' isn't stupid af.

Some times it feels like people go out of their way to not, even though it clearly takes more time. I have a rule that the more emojis are used, the less value the comment. At a glance, I can decide whether to start reading or keep scrolling.

This is me, but not for the reason you might expect.

If you don't conform your writing style to the platform or community you're posting on, your message will get drowned out by reactions to how you wrote instead of what you actually wanted to get across. So compromises must be made.

When in Rome act as the Romans do.

Yes, please! No more urban dictionary for me and my fellow olds.

I'm still trying to understand what ONG means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

on god on god fo real fo real no cap

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Means "on god" basically promising / swearing to god that something occured, etc. My son uses it so much to the point I don't think he believes in god, and just says it to say it.

Is it bad that I knew what the original comment said?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, care to explain for us, uncool people?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"This guy is really serious, it's quite shocking"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But how did you get that from: "This blud fr ong"?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Blud is, I think, british slang for guy. Fr means for real, ong means on god.

Blud is, I think, british slang for guy.

Bud is, I don't know what Blud is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Blud is pseudo-Jamaican slang used by annoying teenagers who want to pretend they are in gangs. Similar to when Americans who were into rap called each other "G". The phrase originates from the Jamaican patois phrase blud clot.
