Dude, that's totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s

Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like "epic fail" anymore

Well I think it's nifty.

"Cool" has had greater longevity than i expected.

Psssh, next you'll tell me people aren't saying "hail to the king, baby"?

Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.

Marvy fab yo

Word up, homie.

What does lamo mean? I understood the rest, and yes, my back hurts.

I'm 40 and I understand most of that, yup it's old person speak.

C'mon Gen Z. You can't have "tubular". That's clearly an 80s term, and thus belongs to the millenials. Same thing with "crib" and the 90s.

"Cuz" was early 2000s. I don't know who that one falls to. All I know is I was about 18 before I heard it. So, basically on my last legs as far as being able to claim slang to my generation.

Geezers isn't even my generation, or Gen X. It's either the Boomers, The Greatest Generation, or The Silent Generation. Really pulling slang out by the roots on that one. What's next? Are we going to take a trip to the Piggly Wiggly?

REDE

I’m never gonna stop calling people “dawg”

One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.

Gyatt so Ohio, on god.

Rizz = Charisma

Based = Cool; Awesome; Good.

Cooked = Fucked (as in up, not sexually).

Cooking = Doing something (usually good, but does not necessarily have to be).

Sincerely,

A 40 year old Millennial.

I consider 'based' an opposite of 'sour' or 'acidic'. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.

Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.

I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?

Yep me too, I bet as it's young people it's mainly texted and in txt spk

Totally gnarly

One might even say "tubular".

I make it a point to adopt some of my grandpa's lingo. Funnily enough my 18-20 year old students can smell 30yo slang from a mile away and will point out it ages me, but they've never said anything about the random 50s teenage slang I incorporate.

Oooh, I like that, I'm terrified of rats, so that would be a great replacement, for the usual word, when around kids, too.

What is "bop"? Are bop-its popular on TikTok?

Nothing is new under the sun.

I heard that once in a bible class and it's stuck with me ever since. And imo it beautifully encapsulates humanity's trends and fads.

Language is an ever-evolving thing, but at the same time, how many variations of something can be made before we've made all of them? Humanity has been around for thousands of years; I find it hard to believe that just about any word we could come up with is actually brand new and no other human has heard it before.

How is rizz not new? I've never seen it until tiktok.

Who has a problem with spaghetti?

Wazzuppppp, fellow youths!

Nah. It was just cooking

I'm a partial to "cooking with grease" just cause it's different.
