GeneralEmergency, in Banksy on Advertising [Zen Pencils]

I’m not saying banksy is up is own ass. But it sure seems like he’d be able to plan a route there.

Blackmist, 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.

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

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

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

Vibe check is an interesting one

KevonLooney,

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@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,

Fam isn’t bad.

Vibe, cringe, drip, mid

RampantParanoia2365,

Cringe is a very old and commonly used word.

Rhoeri, in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

Yep. Thats pretty much it.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, in "Last Word" by J.L Westover
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Cold_Brew_Enema, in "Thank God" by Extra Fabulous Comics

I really do hate this.

“Thank God you survived the surgery. The lord was watching over you”

“How about the surgeons? Do they get any credit?”

Pisodeuorrior,

A friend of mine is a surgeon, and he told me he really struggles not to lose his shit when he hears people thanking God after he has been standing on his feet for multiple hours to save someone's life.

SpaceNoodle,

I’d just say “you’re welcome.”

redcalcium,

God might got the credit, but the surgeon got the insurance money.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

The medical guy standing next to her is clearly thinking something along those lines, based on his expression.

TopRamenBinLaden,

Yea, on top of that, isn’t God responsible for creating the problem that needs surgery in the first place? That’s like thanking someone for giving you a band aid after they cut you with a knife.

Cold_Brew_Enema,

Exactly.

gOd woRks iN mysTEarioUS wAYS

So what is mysterious about giving a nine year old little girl cancer? What are you testing?

Fuck gOd . Religion is fucking cancer.

OrderedChaos,

Actually fucking God is a bad idea.

Fredselfish, in "Snowmanlet" by Safely Endangered
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I be pissed too.

Tehgingey, in "Thank God" by Extra Fabulous Comics

His face reading the text is perfec, this might be my second favorite extra fabulous of all time. First being “the sun’s coming out” comic. Top tier comics from them.

Raptor_007,

I think mine is this snowman comic. Sorry for the reddit link, but it’s the quickest one I could find.

I rather get old and keep my dignity. Thanks. :)

Anticorp, 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.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Idk, in my mind it still slaps

Can we go to the alternate timeline where “Schway” takes off.

Kase, in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

This was a fitting moment for Teenagers by mcr to start playing in my headphones lol

I'm so groovy I will never get old, daddy-o.

CertifiedBlackGuy,

Back to the nursing home with you!

HiddenLayer5, in "Last Word" by J.L Westover

Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.
