Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

[-] livus@kbin.social 20 points 11 months ago

Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.

It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.

Congrats you've picked up middle aged slang from 10 years ago.

I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

Wait… what? My god I’m so lost on all of this.

[-] don@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

If you aren’t a teenager, that’s the point.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I’m a teen and I’m lost too

[-] don@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

When I was a teen, I was lost too. Then I got used to being lost. Now, no matter where I go, there I am.

[-] DudeBro@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such

[-] XbSuper@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

It's the opposite of yoink. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

[-] ReallyKinda@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago

That’s so camp it’s rizz

[-] hglman@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Plaza down!

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

It's not that i don't understand it, but seeing a 40 year old guy using tiktok language just feel wrong and creepy.

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 9 points 11 months ago
[-] DudeBro@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I understand all of these, but now there are even newer ones that I cannot fathom

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

I feel seen.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

When a hoopy frood gets old.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 6 points 11 months ago

Boomer? I barely know 'er

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Omg I love to just fucking bastardize the slang on purpose.

[-] Mordachai_Shedbacon@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Me and the boys are getting our daily steps in today

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

To relate you need to at least know the slang...

[-] DrPop@lemmy.one 4 points 11 months ago

Glizzy is interesting

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'm not even 18, HOW AM I OLD?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago
[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 4 points 11 months ago

This makes me irrationally mad

(It's obv supposed to be spelt gnarly)

[-] don@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago
[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.

[-] db2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well then if you manage to pull it off that would be grooved, maybe even the wasp’s elbows

And that's why, as someone with mild chronophobia, I check Rural Dictionary regularly.

Can we please bring back "groovy" and "radical" / "rad"?
