I’m also 37 and I can’t decipher between which ones are real and which ones are made up at this point, and I’m totally okay with it. Where do you, personally, get exposure to this language? My assumption is gaming but I have no idea. I’m not sure what I stopped doing that I’m so out of touch (other than I stopped being cool (a long time ago)).
Gaming, gamer youtube channels, talking to my middle school aged niece. She’ll occasionally come out with an adjective that I have to determine the meaning of via context clues. Most of what she says that I don’t understand is either talking about cartoon series I’ve never seen or Chromebook-era school software. Kinda like I had to stop and explain what Math Munchers was to my parents.
