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

        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.

        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.

        Hate that one. It just doesn’t feel like something being thrown with force to me.

      I like l33t. That’s from the last decade, right?

        No, that goes as far back as the 80s and was fairly common by the 90s.

      Not even close. Gen Z/Alpha have shit taste for slang.

        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!

          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.

              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?
