Something to make you feel even older: yeet isn’t really considered “new” anymore 😬
I think that’s part of the joke
Yeet is already old
Which makes it even easier to embarrass the kids by overusing it.
Yeeted to the gods
Yeet is cringe?
Likely skibidi issue. F.
Agreed, op gotta get that Ohio grind
Is that dog meat or couch defiling related?
I wonder if the word skibidi has out lasted its source only due to how fun it is to say. Can’t wait till mewing starts to embarrass the younger gens.
Skibidi is indeed a fun word to say.
I look forward to making the younger generation cringe as I twist their own slang against them and shoe horn it into contexts not in any way originally skibidi’ed.
I dont mind new slang if it can be understood from context. When people started using Yeet it was pretty clear what it meant.
In the other hand my kids friends started saying everything was “so sigma” and it was clear that they didn’t know what it actually meant. Even when I looked on urban dictionary, I still couldn’t figure out what the definition was based on how it was being used.
I enjoyed sigma when it seemed to be a mockery of men being obsessed with acting “alpha” but it seems a lot of people use it unironically
Yeah, irony is lost on children so once a slang word that relies on being ironic starts being used by children it is pretty much dead.
look, all you people saying " its not important for me to learn these words" are missing the fact that we get to be the old uncool adults that ruin these words,be that weird aunt that using the slang in the wrong way, or the dad repeating the same line until its beaten to death, Its our hard earned right to make the younger generations words lame and cringe!
So you’re saying I should skibidi that sigma fanum tax gyatt to help make it stop?
… I hate that I typed that.
Rizz can stay though. That ones decent.
100% yes

Ongod no cap
I just don’t look it up. It’s not really necessary for me to know what the kids are talking about
My mom works in a school and her 3rd and 4th graders regularly use slang she doesn’t understand. She regularly texts me for translations so she knows if she needs to talk to the kids about inappropriate language. It’s the reason I’m so up to date on the current slang of kids and teens. Meanwhile, I still use yeet unironically every day. Apparently yeet is super outdated lol
Yeet feels like one of those slang words that winds up being part of the standard lexicon.
We can only hope
Honestly
Yeet is almost a decade old by now though
Personally, I find the word “yeet” funny. It’s really descriptive :D
With the pace how fast new words are being made up, I think even the younger generation needs to look up what something means.
Even as a kid, I wasn’t the one making up slang. I still had to use urban dictionary.
Based no cap fellow youngster.

0 is this true enough to be rad about hip.
big yikes unc! 💀 but fr, that based af - it’s lit you understood the assignment. no glaze but you passed the vibe check, some salty boomers yap and get ratiod like a npc opp. gen z in our fire era we finna glow up, no cap 🗣️🔥🔥🙅♂️🧢
This reads like a relatable teacher poster, sorry
I assume the most represented generation on Lemmy are millennials, with Z (and apparently Alpha are old enough) being underrepresented. I’d say X is probably underrepresented as well, but less so than younger. I like to think Lemmy is out here on the cutting edge, but I’m old so I’m probably wrong.
I mean I’m 22 which puts me solidly in zoomer
Sure, not suggesting there are none. In fact, it’s totally feeling, and a poll might shed some light on it, but sometimes I just like to guesstimate.
Son, you’re grounded from the internet. Now go to your room and start reading books.
that used to be the slang when I was young, it’s outdated already. no clue what kids nowadays use.
Only to forget what it means by the next time you see this word.
