The English language is so amazing. You've never heard the word avocadussy before, but you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say it
Wikipedia really should get its own rule (like rule34) if it doesn't have one yet. Rule 404 or something I'd think, it would go something like "Everything you can think of will have a Wikipedia entry. If you searched for something on Wikipedia and got a 404 error, refresh the site."
Bro, I'm 23, and I feel 50 looking at todays memes. What the fuck is even going on anymore my guy
The less you try to understand it the more it makes sense. (Also 23)
Stupid slang is stupid but it has existed forever (70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers). I say loosen up and enjoy the stupid words. I remember in highschool common slang words were...jit (younger person), fam(friends), on-god(honestly/swear to god), shook (startled, surprised), thirsty(desperate), extra(too much). All of these words were stupid and I resisted using them, but now I just kinda vibe with the people in my life and the stupid slang slowly seeps in.
Granted I've low-key adopted a lot of random shit from different generations just because I enjoy the word more than the original one. Idk life is short, so why waste time trying to understand things that are just going to change in a year, when you can just be in the moment and focus on what's important?
I think it's funny that you used slang that has just been adopted into common language in your post, like low key and vibe.
Slang is normal, and language evolves over time, new words and phrases being created is fine and some of them stick and others don't.
Whenever I think of slang I just imagine that scene from the office, "why use lot word when fewer do trick?" Slang is basically that statement being applied into an actual functional modification to language.
So fuck it fam, live it up. Vibe with the times or whatever. Just don't overdo it lest you sound a little silly (but that's the worst that comes from slang...you just sound a little silly)
Dopamine release pushed to the extreme. If a video takes longer than 10s it needs a second video or reactor in split screen. Also loud = funny
quirked up lemmy user with a little bit of swag busts it down confused style ... is he goated with the sauce?
Used long enough a slang term just becomes part of the language.
For example, "cool" used to be slang. Would you say it's still slang? Or just part of the English language now?
As a 40-something, I'm really enjoying watching younger Millennials struggle with Gen Z culture. The wheel keeps turning.
This isn't a gen z thing specifically, but every time someone says "touching grass" I hear "touching fabric." It's like everyone has become really into to the idea of shitting their pants. Did you know shitting your pants every day is good for your mental health?
Some of these definitions are hilarious. Someone who didn't know what "Bussy" meant could read the entry for it here, and still be just as confused.
Popularized in 2017
How could those silly old folks be expected to know what 'facts' means? It wasn't popularized until 2017!

Also the use of "period" as an interjection, which according to the list was invented in 2010 and has not been in use in some form since the 3rd century BCE.
"Boujee: a high-class/materialistic person"
Because nobody can freaking spell bougewazee boojoa bushwa
I wish I knew it for a more legitimate reason, but ROSE Online burned 'bourgeois' into my brain permanently

Hell yeah ROSE! I loved that game. It was the closest game to a 3D Ragnarok Online (Ro2 doesn’t exist)
The definition for "ded" is bespoke:
Laughter and death as a combined concept has been present since Ancient Greece, where it is held that Zeuxis died from laughing at a portrait of an ugly woman he was painting. Ded stems from a folk etymology for dead reckoning. Emerged on the internet in the early 1990s as a representation for regional speech.
What do you call it when you're surprised but at the same time you're not? Asking for a friend :3
