I have never met a single person who is using those euphemisms outside of sites that will censor them.

I've seen it here on Lemmy. And the people who do it are REALLY defensive about it.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Me too, but IRL or in texts/group chats? Never. For the record, I'm GenZ, creeping up on 30, with friends between 18 and 45. Can't speak about other social media, as Lemmy is the only one I'm on (unless you count messenging apps).

i guess it makes sense that the people who do it are chronically online and I'd never meet them in real life

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I've also only ever encountered these shenanigans online, never in person.

I see "ahh" for ass everywhere and it annoys me so much because it completely kills the reading flow for me

[–] priapus@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

"ahh" doesn't come from avoiding online censorship, like terms such as "unalived". It's just a co-opting of AAVE, something that happens very frequently online.
