Omg I understood every word of that - should I be worried now? :-P

Honestly, as a rapidly aging Millennial, only skibidi upsets and confuses me.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

I was forged in the fires of Gmod before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's balls, kiddo

Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins

Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.

For me "skibidi-bap" is a vocal flourish I'd hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as "booom selecta" or some others but it's up there.

Would you mind please translate to an elderly lady in her mid 30s? Thanks love

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I do think it's funny for the supposed child of the pair to call it a fruitless pursuit, but also kind of appropriate, age wise!

Time to get the birds and bees talk, fruit of the pursuit.

"Papa, you have no game. You drool over mama, seriously. That's cringeworthy!"

"I might be (???) but your mom got mad game. My world turns upside down without her. She's the greatest of all time."

"For real?"

"For real."

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Skibidi in this usage means "bad."

"I might be bad (skibidi), but your mom got mad charisma (rizz).

As a Wisconsinite, Ohio being a term for lame is fucking awesome lol.

I appreciate that Ohio now just means boring/lame. My friends who grew up there confirm this is accurate.

Unrealistic. The kid isn't on Tiktok or playing Subway Surfers mid-conversation.

I asked my daughter if she would have a skibidy night tonight or nah. She is 14.

Her response:

What?

What???

Oh, you are saying skibidy. I thought I was having a stroke.

Very interesting YT clip from a linguist on exactly this. He traces its history and some origins go back quite a ways and lots come from the Black community, which should surprise no one.

The only thing I don't like about linguistics coming from the Black community is saying "axe" instead of "ask". God that triggers me.

Father, thy woman driveth thee to lovers’ foppish folly

Forsooth, but dignity is coin I gladly trade for Cupid’s coveted ware — She is fair moonlight upon the waters of my soul

Speak narrow truth now Father for such promises my childish heart cannot but leap upon with faith

Tis ground I speak to catch thy eager feet, Child, and though it bury my ambition it lifteth me as well it quench my thirst
