Getting Old - Kids and Slang

[Rabbuk]

I feel like zoomers just discovered 80s drag culture slang and plagiarized it.

I feel like this belongs here

This is my favorite song, only sigmas listen to this and phonk. This is normal music in Ohio. GTG, time to do daily Fanum tax.

Figure this out boomers

Such an underrated movie. “I want my two dollars!”

Eh, if those of us who lived through the early internet survived, I'm sure these kids will be fine.

Him and coach sirianni. Bunch of Dawgs.

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."

Now that's a word we said when I was in high school 20 years ago. Tight. Bling. That's bad.

"Facts" has replaced "I know, right" as the over-used phrase that I'd like to fire into the sun.

My daughters say this "Slays". Apparently that means cool.

My teenage nieces have started using this term. I always respond, "slaughter"

 

[Cyclones01]

I know two things:

1. All of the new slang is wrong and stupid
2. The slang of my generation is the only slang that is correct

And this is in no way hypocritical or biased

When I really want to irritate our girls I'll say something like "I finna make some eggs, want some?" and the look on their face is priceless.

This thread is rad

Idiocracy evolving before our very eyes

"Fax, no printer" = truth, more emphatic version of 'facts'

This thread is lit

…did I do it right?

Apparently doing "dabs" is akin to some kind of bro handshake. Was taught that two weeks ago.

Told the kid "well, it's better than doing the other 'dabs'". She had no idea what that even meant.

"What does it mean to slide into someone's DMs? That sounds like a lot of fun.".

"We're not ready for that."

That commercial makes me laugh every time!

I guess I am too late...
