Don’t pretend you didn’t become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
I don’t remember getting any new slang as a kid.
That’s because to you it was just normal.
What I remember from the 90/00s: sinch, hella, coolio, jam (going), spaz, poser, chillax, bitchin, burn, noob, booyah, aight, duh, phat, sup, stoked, jiggy, harsh, buzz kill
There’s a shitton more, but that’s what I got off the top of my head
Yes to all except jiggy. I feel like that was just Will Smith trying to make Fetch happen.
Idk, I got like all the jiggy’s before beating gruntilda
Don’t casually throw “spaz” in there with a load of inoffensive stuff!
You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn’t stand out against everything else the same way it does when you’re older.
I think this is true, but I also grew up without Internet or social media so maybe things were more regional as opposed to this larger shared culture those things have enabled. So that may be part of it?
As someone who grew up in rural Canada, I feel that. We always felt a decade out of date on fads and slang lol.
80s had a ton.
Fr, no cap
You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don’t think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.
LOL who’s that
You forgot the /s right?
I kind of figured it was implied but eh. Some things don’t land.
Yeah, well. World is full of racists. Can hardly even make fun of 'em without being mistaken for one, now.
This reminded me of the month ‘wigga’ was every fucking one’s favorite word at my very-nearly-all-white school. Nothing good, indeed.
Yikes
penis
GenX here. Kids enjoying doing kid things even if we don’t understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You’re doing fine. No cap.
she freak on my gyatt till I baby gronk
Damn I bet she hit you with that hawk ptui fr fr.
Is this true?

For riz.
Am i doing it right?
On god
No cap frfr
I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.
If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said ‘flush.’
I miss the toilet game haha
When we played it you also had to go down on one knee, and the person unfreezing you had to sit on your knee while they flushed your arm.
The emotional damage of simultaneously realising that you are old and understanding all the people you laughed at for yelling “get off my lawn”
I actually love these new slangs! Based.

Like… tables?
How would one rizz someone else? Basically, what is rizzing?
rizzing is effectively flirting with someone. and I don’t mean like “it has the effect of flirting” I mean you flirt with someone, and it’s being effective.
And is “mew” just making a cat noise or something more?
A technique attributed to a British orthodontist named Mike Mew that involves putting pressure on the roof of your mouth with your tongue to try and change the shape of your face by moving your maxilla up and forwards with the lateral pressure of your tongue. This fits into the broader looksmax approach to self-modification in the name of love and romance.
Stacy “Yh Chad has some nice ass jaw now. He’s been mewing for 6 months now”
you do it so you can mog
As in “moggy”?
So it’s cats all the way down.
Don’t ask the children, they don’t know either
Outside of tag (I guess), it’s like chatting someone up.
So to unfreeze them they’d have to like, “How you doin?”
STOP!
STOP, UPON ME!
FORCE THE TOOLS AVAILABLE!
YES… I’M ALRIGHT…!
BWA HAHA HAHA HAHA…!Thats not even what it means.
And kids at the Catholic school play jizz tag.
Even had some mewing going in the break room at work last night
Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.
Do you mean half of the world’s children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?
Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.
Literacy, in my country, which is specified because it is the origin of the slang in the meme. You really thought you had a gotcha, there, didn’t you?
If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

What a “damn kids these days” quote
“Kids can’t read” is certainly a take. 😂
