Anticorp, to comicstrips in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

I knew it was my time to join the old group when “slaps” became popular.

Hiro8811,

Slaps? I’m not even past my 20 and dunno what’s that.

Anticorp,

It’s used to imply something is good, ie. “that slaps!”

Okkai,

Is “slaps” still popular though? I remember that from around 2010 and have not heard it recently.

Anticorp,

I see it online all the time.

Idk, in my mind it still slaps

Twenty years ago my word was a finalist for the OED or Merriam Webster I forget which new word of the year. I probably peaked then.

Mr_Fish, to lemmyshitpost in Uranus is so big!!

I honestly don’t know which name is better: Uranus or George.

Yes, the guy who discovered the planet wanted to name it after King George, but everyone said that was too political, so it was called Uranus.

kzhe,

It would probably have been Georgia or some derivative of George.

Seeing how Uranus is a Greek in origin named after one of their mythological figures, the proper Greek pronounciation would be more like “Ooranos”

Micromot,

That seems pretty similar to the german prnunciation

Gullible, to comicstrips in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?

KevonLooney,

This word is 3 decades old.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Hate that one. It just doesn’t feel like something being thrown with force to me.

Bread,

I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.

He yeeted his phone out the window when he noticed there was a spider on the screen. It was not the best decision, but it was the choice he made.

Usernameblankface,
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! It always makes me smile to hear it used. I think it sounds weird coming out of my own mouth, but it perfectly accentuates a funny story.

Klear,

I like l33t. That’s from the last decade, right?

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

No, that goes as far back as the 80s and was fairly common by the 90s.

Klear,

Oh, thank you! You’re so smart!

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

No, just old.

Gabu,

Not even close. Gen Z/Alpha have shit taste for slang.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, that’s what every generation says. I’m impressed by slang that stands the test of time, like “cool.” It’s been around for 80 or so years!

Gabu,

Yeah, that’s what every generation says.

And most of them are right, it’s why slang dies so quickly. Gen Z/Alpha are just particularly inept at it, probably from having their brains fried by social media.

SorryQuick,

Isn’t that what we’re both doing right now, getting our brains fried by social media?

slackassassin,

Ya it’s lit af tbh.

Gabu,

I don’t know about you, but I’m partaking in digital discussion. Surely you can easily notice the difference between what’s happening here and, say, a tiktok, right?

RampantParanoia2365,

Cringe is a very old and commonly used word.

Blackmist, to comicstrips in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

Only you can stop it, by being old and using it wrong. You bunch of rizzers.

diffcalculus,

Rizzer please!

CalicoJack,

I feel like you’re playing a dangerous game there, and I respect it.

@Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk avatar

I rizz like you’re rizzing a rizzerous rizz there, and I rizz it.

IzzyScissor, to comicstrips in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

Rizz = chaRISma

Use it the way your parents would use "game".

EvilHankVenture,

Use it the way your parents would use “game”.

Ok so it’s like this::

Did you win the rizz?

This meat is a little rizzy.

Don’t play rizzes with me.

diffcalculus,

Excellent

Annoyed_Crabby,

Zelda Breath of the Wild is a very unique videorizz

Kase,

Yup, you got it!! 😁🤭

sock,

no obviously he’s talking more like:

im going hunting for some rizz.

this meat has a rizzy taste.

AgentGrimstone,

Ah. It’s a lot more tolerable knowing that. Now what about “drip”?

SasquatchBanana,

Drip refers to how someone dresses. Someone who is drippy has a lot of style.

Also, this has been in circulation for a few years now.

AgentGrimstone, (edited )

I was more wondering why that word. Like “rizz” came from “charisma” but “drip” doesn’t seem to have an origin like that.

I’m getting up there so I’m out of the loop from pretty much anything in the last decade. I only started hearing the drips this year.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Drip appears to be a metaphor: You’re dripping with money, designer clothes, or confidence.

As good an explanation as any. I’ve never heard it before, but it’s weird to hear it with a positive connotation since a person being a drip is not a good thing.

dditty,

I’ve also heard drip’s origin explained as what happens when you’re hot and wearing a lot of “ice”

RatzChatsubo,

Drip comes from making a woman wet because you look really good

irmoz,

Please tell me that’s not true

Cethin, (edited )

It’s started to be used as in “flirt” though, as a verb (or at least my young cousin has used it this way that I’ve heard). As in, you rizz someone -> you flirt with someone. It sounds really strange when you know it (used to) mean charisma, but whatever.

PhlubbaDubba,

I think it’s short for rolling charisma on them since D&D has become a pop culture source now

Especially with all the memes about horny bards and reminders that persuasion is not rolling for mind control.

tory, (edited )

I saw this elsewhere, but the term rizz does imply the existence of other words to shorten all the typical rpg attributes.

Unsure what they would all be, but I’m thinking these other four seem pretty easy to agree upon:

Toosh = constitution

Tren = strength

Teri = dexterity

Telli = intelligence

Holyhandgrenade,
@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, I hate it

Threeme2189,

Roll for nish

JohnDClay,

Yeah those are all abbreviated con, str, dex, and int. I wonder why charisma isn’t abbreviated cha. Maybe that was too close to con?

tory,

You must be great at parties, lol.

JohnDClay,

D&d parties yes!

Klaymore,
@Klaymore@sh.itjust.works avatar

In D&D it is abbreviated cha, it’s just that rizz sounds more goated and fire.

Jesus christ…do they not teach you anything in school anymore??

astronomers changed the name of Uranus to end that stupid joke.

Daxtron2,

It’s true, they changed it to urectum

betahack,

🤣

this guy gets it

Daxtron2,

Wheres my Futurama sleeper gang at

Kase,

For real? What’d they change it to?

Mr_Fish,

Did they change it to George? Please tell me it’s called George now.

To be fair, robots kinda wear out over time too, arguably at a faster rate. At least living tissue can self repair.

How do you do fellow rizzers?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

I don’t think you can say that word.

funkless_eck,

Floating toilet heads flirt as a method of stealing your food, which only happens in Ohio as thats where a lot of cryptids are supposed to come from, and also have voluptuous posteriors, an ultra-capitalist competitive outlook, and I am so confident this is the truth I will mock your relative performance to mine as inadequate and, finally, a dog joins in as a non sequitur because humans are doing it and using synecdoche I am implying you are also just a sheep.

You can call me Baby Gronk Rizz King, Livvy Just Rizzed Him Up

I am fucking 40 years old by the way.

Hiro8811,
