I've officially hit that point where I have no idea what my kids are saying half the time when describing something or someone. My kid last night said his teacher was "drippin" and I figured that meant she was lactating or something... nope, means she was cool or looked cood (not sure which).

Let's help each other out - what are kids saying nowadays and what the **** does it mean?
 
Suss = something that is questionable, susspected to be not true.
Yeet = Chuck or throw something, sometimes in a manor which you would heave a grenade.
Buss'n = cool, hip
 
When my son was 3 years old, I dropped him off at daycare wearing a pair of checkered "Jeff Spicoli" shoes. The young 20ish year old teacher said those shoes were "tight." At first I thought she was saying I bought a size too small for him. Turns out she meant to say they were "cool."

Drippin’ also has other meanings, so take note of the female teacher incident threads to see if you recognize any names from conferences. I’ll let you fill in the dots from there.

My kids won't stop talking about this. It's weird as all hell, but seems harmless.
Thank God I'm not the only one. Seems like some internet video ear worm that keeps getting remixed and repackaged. Dumb but harmless. Think Hamster Dance.

My wife knows all the slang and I have never heard her use Drippin’
 
Rizz = charm, flirting appeal

Bet = for sure

Bussin = really good (especially “straight bussin”)

Drip = clothes/accessories

Skibidi toilet - I have no idea

Skibidi toilet? The ****? Lol

I’ve heard every other word in this thread so far.

Sus and yeet have been around a while. My kids (28,31) use them all the time. "yeet" is particularly fun word.

'sus' can also mean something or someone that is untrustable, crappy, or sketchy.
"this chick I meet on tinder is pretty sus"
"that guys truck is super sus"

also, 'sketch' can mean 'sus' (ie sketchy)
