    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.
