a more literal translation: things are good, certainly in the name of God I speak the truth, believe me for I am extremely serious

cultural context: this level of reassurance is becoming necessary for many youths because buy and large things are usually not good lately

source: idk I made it up

I remember "my bad" annoyed me far more than it should have. Same with the use of 'a minute' to mean a long period of time (e.g. "I haven't seen xxxx in a minute!"). Then again, I had a stepfather who would stop me mid-sentence to berate and correct my grammar so that may have had something to do with it.

I genuinely don't care what the slang is today. It's their right to use whatever slang works for them.

What I do care about is when my Gen-Z friends/Peers use that slang at or around me. Then; all I ask is that they have the infinite patience needed to put up with me going "WAT?" every once in a while as my slightly slower millennial brain fails to decode that slang fast enough to stop myself from asking "what the hell do they mean exactly?" and enough patience to slow their lingo down and explain what they mean If the message was intended for me.

Your GenX peers wanted the same from you, as did their Boomer peers from them. One day, those same zoomer friends of yours will be confused and annoyed by their Gen Alpha friends' slang, and the cycle will continue.

The only slang word that bothers me is rizz.

Probably because it sounds so much like jizz but either way. No other slang really bothers me at all

[–] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I was undecided until I heard really charismatic people being referred to as "the rizzler"

I love it now.

[–] Jordan_U@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know why people have such a negative opinion of Jizz.

Just because it's played at the most wretched hive of scum and villainy doesn't mean that the music itself is scummy or villainous!

In high school, me and my fellow outcast friends made our own slang. The idea what to make it so mind numbingly cringe that even using our slang to mock us would be social suicide for the cool kids. I don't know if that last part worked, but we were pretty damn cringe.

I'd give examples, but it's all in Norwegian, and incredibly cringe.

Do the kids still say "groovy"?

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mostly just "far out"

Every person my age delights in Gen Z slang. It's probably my favorite thing about that generation

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always like the new slang I dunno why it offends people they're just fun words who cares

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I find it really fascinating too. I really like when old words make a comeback.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I've taught long enough to see slang come and go almost on a yearly basis.

Some of it comes back, some of it gets remixed. If it isn't hate speech, it's fine. blob-sleep

Pffft. I still can't get over the first time someone unironically used the term "this shit slaps" in front of me.
