        Until you go outside. Luckily, I have a teenaged kid who can tell me what shit means while giggling at my greying beard.

        We’re like the ones on the outside of the matrix (good reference I know, right age group as well) knowing how screwed we really are. We can enter into it, but we have seen the outside.

        Figuratively of course, even though I have heard a lot of good things about this “grass” people keep talking about. Why you would wanna touch it, I don’t know, but maybe one day.

    Just waiting for a sussy baka with the requisite rizz to guide us on the path to skibidi fleekness. Poggers?

    Keep in mind that the adults when we were kids and young adults felt the same way.

    Languages evolve.

      As a millennial, I think zoomer slang is much funnier than ours was. We said things like “epic win” or dumb shit about Chuck Norris but these zoomers are out there in the trenches sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler.

        So, I just want to say that the oldest Zoomers are in their 20s now, and the ones actually sticking out their gyatts for the rizzler are Gen Alpha.

          Depending on where you draw the line between Zoomers and Millennials, the oldest zoomers are about to turn 30, and I’m sure some already have chronic back pain.

        I also reckon that our forefathers had an easier time comprehending our epic wins, Chuck Norris references and so on.

        I’ve somehow managed to comprehend gyatt and rizz (okay the latter is older than most people alive today I guess?), but skibidi toilet is where I draw the line.

        Honestly its the same shit. Its a progression.

        You can literally draw a line from ebaums world hitting you with your own pimp, through YouTube poop and Dasboschitts gmod idiot box, through the MLG compilations, the beggining of SFM, and all the way to today with skibidii toilet.

      If I took a shot every time someone said “language evolves” on Lemmy, I’d be fucking dead.

      I was in Spirit Halloween yesterday and they had a Hawk Tuah costume (it was like a handyman jumpsuit that said something like “Hawk Tuah Lubricants”)

      This is the natural life-cycle of slang.

    Kinda makes me wonder if I’ve been a bit too successful at isolating myself from trends.
