          Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It’s an “in-joke” in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It’s not ah… uh… “good”, in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.

          Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.

          Rizz is short for charisma, Ohio is a terrible place to be, and Skibidi seems to be a chameleon word with many different uses - cool, bad as in good, bad as in bad…

          Old millennial with a middle schooler, so I learn enough to screw with them. If you have rizz, you’ve got charisma, if you are rizzing, you’re using charisma to flirt. Skibidi I’m guessing on, but it’s something that’s just generally whack, to use our own generations slang. Ohio is not one I’ve heard, but I’m guessing just a metaphor for a general state of pathetic, just like the state itself.

            It’s funny how you hit the nail on the head with Ohio perfectly since that’s exactly the origin of it, people notices how there’s nothing ever going on in Ohio and it just evolved from there.

              Ohio is what we in the US might call a “fly-over state.” Meaning, a state that you want to fly over/through as part of a trip to elsewhere, rather than a place that you want to visit.

        It’s pretty close to actual English:

        “Father, you have no charisma. You are fruitlessly pursuing the love of your wife for real, it’s cringeworthy!”

        “I might be shit, but your mother has a lot of charisma. My world is boring without her”

        “She’s the greatest of all time”

        “Seriously?” “Yes for real.”

            Yeah well, that’s just my translation of “simping” in this context while trying to avoid using slang myself.

            “Unsuccessful courting” might be better.

            I’m not sure if it’s really used in the context of married people.

              not sure if it’s really used in the context of married people.

              My flirty comments usually got the well-deserved eye roll from my partner. And I would do anything they ask for, unconditionally. They would, too, but usually managed to do it before I had the chance to ask for anything. Definitely the GOAT.

              I can see how to a child this may look as simping.

        Rizz = Charisma Simp = Insult basically meaning somebody who would do anything to get attention from someone (typically a man wanting attention from a woman) No cap = No lie/For real

        Skibidi = ??? Mad = Intensifier ; So mad rizz = Immense charisma Ohio = Boring/Dull GOAT = Greatest Of All Time FR = For Real

        All I could gather from skibidi, even with googling as it was the only one of two (ohio being the other) I had no about, was that it changes meaning depending on the sentence

        e.g. Sick can mean ill or awesome, (The) Shit is good and (This is) Shit is bad

          I have found that “skibidi” can simply be replaced by “crazy” in every usage that I have seen so far. It’s just that people who use skibidi would probably don’t use crazy in the same way.

          Modern dialectal ax is as old as Old English acsian and was an accepted literary variant until c. 1600.
