Most of these either aren’t right or I don’t understand the older language.

I got this as a fax, and it said I had to mail it to at least seven other people to be blessed.

“on god” is at least millennial, I heard that one 20 years ago

A bunch of these terms were definitely used before gen z used them. Vibe, as a slang term, is a boomer creation. Ick is even older, and was first used in the 1940s.

Original Poster’s Pussy

MIDItheKID ,

As for the ladies, OPP means something gifted The first two letters are the same but the last is something different It’s the longest, loveliest, lean- I call it the leanest It’s another five letter word rhymin’ with cleanest and meanest

"Vibe" is just a regular noun.

Okay grandpa, let’s get you back to bed

I think the Gen z column is more like ebonics. B rad from the boo would approve

johannesvanderwhales ,

Not uncommon for a term to start in AAVE and then later cross over into wider use. Drip is definitely an example of this.

Gabu ,

Gen Z/Alpha is fine… except for this shit. Talk like a fucking human, for fuck’s sake.

I bet they’re always on your lawn too

Gabu ,

I don’t have a lawn. Both, because I’m thankfully not American, but also because millenials don’t get to buy houses.

deur ,

Uh ohhh someone is experiencing getting older. It only gets worse!

KillingTimeItself ,

something something damn kids these days and the way they wear their hair, something something and the fashion they engage in.

Nothing is new under the sun gramps.

Gabu ,

Slang was words repurposed in meaning. Had been for thousands of years. The fuck is a “delulu”? The fuck is a “gyatt”? This is a symptom of terminal online-ness, like kids addressing groups as “chat”.

KillingTimeItself ,

i don’t think you’re defining that correctly. Isn’t slang literally just defined at it’s most simplistic as “terms used in non formal communication, that are understood between a group of people, due to collective contextual understanding.”

I.E. workplace lingo would also be a form of slang.

Gyatt was originally just a different pronunciation of god: GOD DAMN! = GYATT DAYUM!

That actually makes sense, thank you for explaining.

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I thought the youngsters these days were using thicc to refer to big butts, as in GYAT DAYUM DAS THICC

boonhet ,

I’m a very late millennial, borderline Gen Z, and even I feel like all my slang knowledge is outdated.

I thought cheugy was more a synonym for tryhard, someone working really hard to ‘get with th youths’.

tooclose104 ,
@tooclose104@lemmy.ca avatar

Which would be lame to do in the view of said youths, no?

rbos ,
@rbos@lemmy.ca avatar

Sure. I just think lame doesn’t quite hit the same meaning.
