Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.

It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.

Congrats you've picked up middle aged slang from 10 years ago.

I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?

Wait… what? My god I’m so lost on all of this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you aren’t a teenager, that’s the point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’m a teen and I’m lost too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

When I was a teen, I was lost too. Then I got used to being lost. Now, no matter where I go, there I am.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It's the opposite of yoink. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s so camp it’s rizz

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Plaza down!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

It's not that i don't understand it, but seeing a 40 year old guy using tiktok language just feel wrong and creepy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I understand all of these, but now there are even newer ones that I cannot fathom

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

To relate you need to at least know the slang...

Can we please bring back "groovy" and "radical" / "rad"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Where I live, the new thing is that THE YOUTH arbitrarily mix in english with our native language. But I've been doing that for 20 years already.

Still sounds dumb though.

And that's why, as someone with mild chronophobia, I check Rural Dictionary regularly.

I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.

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

What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Well then if you manage to pull it off that would be grooved, maybe even the wasp’s elbows
