Anticorp,

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

normonator,

It’s short for charisma and you use it if you have none.

Yeeet

EDIT: It feels like some people aren’t getting the joke, to clarify all of these words mean roughly the same thing but are a few years apart from each other.

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

Alpha71,

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Finally, never being cool is paying off. I have so much practice not knowing what “it” is and it makes getting old so much easier.

onewaymars,

People stop using a word when they overuse it so much it loses the original useful meaning.

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.

Rhoeri,

Yep. Thats pretty much it.

IjonTichy,
HexesofVexes,

Back in my day, we went with “giving it riz”.

Cethin,

Yeah, rizz isn’t new. It’s just short for charisma. Their usage of it is new and wacky though. You don’t charisma someone. You do something charismatically. It’s an adjective or adverb, not a verb.

PhlubbaDubba,

Well, it’s being used in English, so as long as the intended meaning comes across it can be all three and whatever else so long as it still communicates the intended message.

name_NULL111653,

This is what happens when your anglo-saxon, having just diverged from old Norse and Latin, begins to lose it’s declensions and conjugations… It’s its biggest problem, that that abominable process occurred…

MNByChoice,

I have heard that part of the point is so that parents cannot understand the conversation. It is not a side effect, it is the point.

_danny,

This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true… Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.

Go look at 70’s and 80’s slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound “hip”.
