I’ve only ever used them ironically, so I can confirm I’m a linguical mastermind
Just like how people should ironically updoot my comment here, since I am very low on Lemmy karma and need some 👆👆👆
I still speak as if I’m from Ooo, so…
Ooo?
Many many years in the future, long after the great mushroom war, that is what they will call the Earth.
(Adventure Time)
Its the world that Adventure Time takes place in.
Ohhh
Ooo*
The world from Adventure Time. It’s heavily implied to be a post-apocalyptic earth, which is wildly mutated from the present day by an atomic war. IIRC, the stated backstory is that the land of Ooo is what remains after the Great Mushroom War. We see glimpses of the world immediately following the war, and it looks like a Fallout situation, with packs of survivors, radiation exposure, etc… And eventually, it settled into the Land of Ooo.
Don’t forget the frozen businessmen who almost ruined the world again.
Algebraic!
mathematical!
Oh good. Always thought rizz was stupid because it sounds too close to jizz.
Short for chajizzma
And now I know what rizz is short for! Never knew.
I’m cool, no one can tell me otherwise.
I picked up shizzle for rizzle from Tiny Tina and works as a rated G version of the shit meaning either the genuine article or the diggity dank.
“shizzle for rizzle” is snoop dogg slang from the 90’s
my nizzle
Slay and serve are part of the drag/queer community lexicon that were made popular (iirc) in the NY ballroom scene. No one cares when 6th graders use them or if they stop.
If you watch queer media or hang out with The Gays, you’ll hear them all the time. They’re a bit campy, but not cringe.
Only because 11 year olds aren’t familiar with serving cunt yet
*american 11 year olds
This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There’s an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.
drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene
Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”
Thanks :)
Someday cringe will be cringe, and sick will be sick again.
I was playing pokemon with my 7 year old nephew and he kept saying “{x pokemon} has sick moves bro”, so maybe that time has already come. Although to be fair he also said “These noodles are on god” and then leaned over and whispered “that means really good.” So maybe he’s not exactly the best arbiter of gen alpha vernacular lol
At that age, kids are absorbing stuff from their parents still because they haven’t yet realized that their parents aren’t cool.
I wonder if that’s what keeps the whole thing at least somewhat coherent. While a generation of teenagers figures out how they will talk, the younger generation absorbs words and phrases from both their immediate seniors as well as their parents’ generation, resulting in a base that’s still close to where their parents are. Maybe without that, we’d have entire new languages every few generations.
Hmm that might even be the mechanism that causes fashion trends to repeat on a 20-30 year cycle.
Sick
That is so slay
That’s tight
Everything is when you’re phat
I’m sorry, I’m on the fence. I’m all onboard calling “rizz” and “skibidi” cringe, but I’m never going to stop slaying or serving.
Especially the phrase slay queen.
Ok but now I want to know what their new words are.
I weep, for my children will know not the joys of Roflcopter
I’ve never heard of roflcopter but I rofled so hard reading that it woke my toddler up
We should really chisel all of our memes in granite and stand them up in a field so that future generations may know our genius.
6th graders are not arbiters of slang. 15-24 year olds are.
Whoa, this is heavy!
There’s that word again! Is there something wrong with the Earth’s gravity in the past?
You mean mavity?
Wake me up when dope and rad re-enter the lexicon.
Dope never left mine.
Seconded.
Dope things gonna dope
I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah, heroin is one hell of a drug ^/s
Far out!
Groovy
Tubular
Gnarly
Righteous
Streets Ahead!
Swell
Awesome! It’s totally radical and all the PHAT people know how to be hip. You better be there or be square dig it?
k lol
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I am, much to my wife’s dismay.
I’ve been here the whole time.
I also really like rad.
(That one doesn’t work with the -o unfortunately)
I feel like every time I hear “neat” it’s meant semi-sarcastically. Like, okay, I guess that’s kind of interesting, but it’s not really relevant or I don’t know how to continue the conversation.
“So, not that it relates to anything we’re talking about, but I’m a world champion in this one very niche thing that you’ve never heard of.”
“…neat.”
It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.
That’s how I use it most of the time. That and “nifty”
I say dope and rad all the time.
I just started saying rad recently. I’m almost 40 though so… yeah.
What about “Mint”
It’s a plant in the genus Mentha, typically aromatic. But that’s not important right now.
Surely you can’t be serious?
Don’t call me Shirley.
Damn, my grade 7 class is cringe af. Kid keeps naming himself “skibidisigma” every time we play Blooket.
based
TIL
Quizlet Kids?
Seems more like Kahoot
The “wait a minute, whoo arre you” kid?
That’s Kazoo. Kahoots is a Mexican coffee liqueur.
No, it’s like a quiz game that works kinda like Jackbox. Questions/answers get shown on the main screen, and everyone answers on their phones. For people that answer correctly, the ones that answer faster get more points.
It’s a fun way to review class material and keep students engaged
It’s kind of like Kahoot, but there’s a greater variety of games.
The teacher hosts a game with a question set they either found it made, and each student joins on a device. They’re givegiven the questions and selecting correct answers earns them something relative to the game.
The most traditional one is the one that was described here, where they are given every question in sequence and are awarded points for the accuracy and speed of their answers, but there is some great variety. There’s a tower defense game where correct answers give you the currency to buy and upgrade towers, a “survivors”-like game where a correct answer is required to be given a choice of weapon upgrades and several variants on slot machine-esque games, where correct answers gives them a random bonus ranging across gaining score, multiplying score or stealing score from other players.
I like to use it with the kids whenever I require some rote memorization. Ie, we’re reviewing terms we’ve used or will be using in a unit, or we’re refreshing things they’re supposed to have learned in previous years.
There’s some great single-player options too, if you ever find yourself struggling to deal with rote memorization for any courses you’d take as an adult, too. While it’s definitely targeted towards classrooms and kids, the games are imo substantially more engaging ways to memorize things that are in general hard to care about outside of a requirement for some job, diploma or degree.
But does it use AI?
Rizz was always cringe.
Skibidi is literally after a toilet meme, slay is old AF and I’ve never heard of serve.
I think “rizzler” is pretty funny when used ironically
So close
Dear Batman,
It’s the Rizzler…
What about “What’s crackin?”
