My school district is WAY smarter than this, all the teachers and staff just start saying the words more than the kids do until they think it's corny.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 4 weeks ago

This

Making lists like that is authoritarian and won't work. Making the words worthless works

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Why is it even a goal to stop kids saying these words

[-] [email protected] 24 points 4 weeks ago

Because some adults feel out of touch and must crush the new slang while forgetting that the same thing happened to them as kids until their slang became common parlance. Eventually this current crop of kids will do the same to the next generation and the cycle will continue.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago

What? You mean language changes? I can't take it, that's literally insane!

Maybe this is why republicans watch child porn so they think it's corny and nobody else does it anymore.

I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.

Unironically started saying hella after life is strange made me cringe out of my fucking seat when the characters say it.

Reclaim it like slurs. Lmfao

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I have been saying "groovy" for as long as I have been aware that the word existed, and that's early 70s

I can imagine that working, actually.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 4 weeks ago

As a teacher, I can attest that it works beautifully.

Bruh, on God I'm not even gonna cap - you're being such a sigma male with that low key bussin mood, but say less about the rizz because you're doing too much with that type shit. Gucci fit, and I love that for you, but it's giving major gyatt energy, so no cap, that's high key straight fire, baka!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

So “on God” means like “on God’s authority” or “for reals”?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It’s short for “I swear on god”

Demerits for misuse of "say less" and "baka". Other than that, high marks!

"Say less" is etymologically tied to "say no more". It is possible that I am wrong about "baka", because I'm an otaku, but I presume they're using it in the anime way, and not just completely divorcing it from its actual meaning. I might be giving them to much credit.

You doin too much

Love that for you

Why?

Also, you can't stop language from changing. Change is certain. We don't talk like people 100 years ago and that's a good thing.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those are phrases that get repeated verbatim as responses, which is the hypothetical reason they might be included on this (maaaaybe fake?) list. I'm actually slightly tired of them too, I have a couple students that really overuse them as responses to everything.
...Though I'd never be dumb enough to tell them that.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Yeah making a list like this deserves doubling down on that kind of slang.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I'm betting (hoping?) this was done with a bit of tongue in cheek, especially since there's a nice, close up picture of the list and it uses up significant board real estate.

Humbling kids with some self awareness is great, especially in middle school. Self reflection and metacognition (why do we do what we do?) are super important tools for kids and leads to more empathy and better conflict resolution.

If this is just a teacher being a crotchety conservative, then yeah, you're right. But I'm willing to bet the kids even helped make the list and had a good time doing it.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

My guess is they are used sarcastically/ironically and whoever made the board is sick of hearing them.

Can we get a date on this? I don’t see skibidi or sus. And I’m most surprised to see the youths embracing finna

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Based on my experience in the NE U.S., this list is current.

On my list ...

Perfect

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

I hate finna more than all the others.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

it's AAVE, not made up, and there's literally no reason why "gonna" should be more legit. it's the exact same construction.

Kids are gonna kids

I don't understand what teachers think a "banned words list" is gonna accomplish except being the new target of bored kids/teens

(Unless they're just tired of hearing it, but this isn't a good solution imo)

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

It's such a bizarre list too.

They're not cusses. What's wrong with "love that for you"? I could've easily seen myself saying that in 2009, is the meaning vastly different than what I think?
