"skibidi" "rizz" "sus"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm approaching 30 and will gladly use all of those both ironically and unironically.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Approaching 50, use SUS regularly, skibidi usage is dropping off, I'm aware of rizz but don't really use it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Sus is actually a really old word.

Maybe I've just been hanging out in the wrong places but I have never heard any of these terms used except by previous generations mocking what they think gen alpha is like

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I haven't heard rizz, but working in an elementary school, sus has been around for awhile, and skibidi was just starting to get frequent enough to be super annoying towards the end of the school year.

Rizz is basically just short for charisma

Good to know!

Or 'game' for the millennial crowd.

The other day I heard a random (young) girl say "what the sigma" and I had trouble keeping it together

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh that one was was going on constantly the last month or so of school!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Sus isn't even that new. Been using that since gmod ttt

That may be a better way to weed boomers from Gen X. Especially SUS, among us had a very wide appeal to multiple age ranges.
