I’m reading this at night though. Think of all the poor souls that will get flashbanged in the next few hours.
Not that it matters but it’s a little insane that 8 people thought to downvote you because of how you choose your theme settings.
Like I’m dark mode on everything at all times, but I won’t downvote you for being different. Some folk be wack.
Lol
We use the same app AND settings
(For anyone who's curious: the app's "Eternity for Lemmy", the predecessor successor of "Infinity for reddit")
So that's how it happens. I thought I was getting old when I had to look up 'based' on urban dictionary.
Thank god for that website, I can't imagine being an aging millennial in 1980 with all the kids talking about "radical" this and "cowabunga" that and not have anything to look up.
"Cowabunga" shouldn't have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.
Ninja Turtles got it from 60's surfer slang (since that's how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.
I'm curious, how recently did you have to look it up? For me it feels ancient compared to the likes of "rizz" but that's probably due to the circles I've been in.
He got rizz = he's got game (?)
If that helps. I've read here recently it's short for "charisma"
Oh no i didn't know what rizz meant. I had to look it up mid this year. Gg life, im now going downhill for sure :(
"Every single other letter is one syllable, can we just pronounce this one 'wuh'"?
"No, it must have THREE!"
Germans: "Ridiculous! We will pronounce it like 'vay'".
"Well, that's a lot..."
"...AND 'Y' WILL BE 'OOPSILON'"!
ಠ_ಠ
Yeah, unless it was a really important win, then you might say it out entirely to emphasize your utter dominance over them.
The moment when we change to dark mode and then we need to see shit posts with big white screenshots
So this is why Golden State Warriors are called "Dubs"! Today I learned.
The nickname comes from people shortening Warriors to the letter W. The shorter form of the letter W is pronounced "Dub." It also helps that W represents the word "win" in the world of sports, so when their fans refer to them as the Dubs, they are also referring to the team as winners.
Hey! I’ve been invited to sports before. Some people think that me being large, tough, and angry would make me good at roller derby, unfortunately I’m also uncoordinated even when sober
It's Summit for Lemmy.

If you want to be up to date on modern slang, fallout where the teenagers rizz with they homies.
W L comes from the W community on Twitch who watch streamers like Kai Cenat. They spam it into the chat.
2021 - present
People were definitely saying this long before 2021. I don't think it started on Twitch.
Even the site you linked to tells you it's the other way around. The W Community got it's name from "Win" commonly being shortened to W, not vice versa.
