start listing them out continuously untill you get expelled

[–] [email protected] 52 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

My school district is WAY smarter than this, all the teachers and staff just start saying the words more than the kids do until they think it's corny.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

Unironically started saying hella after life is strange made me cringe out of my fucking seat when the characters say it.

Reclaim it like slurs. Lmfao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I can imagine that working, actually.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

As a teacher, I can attest that it works beautifully.

"Ill bless you Youngins🥷 with the Rizz🔥 your gonna need for the low 🔑test on Monday, no cap 🧢💯!!!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Students, I'm a total baka hentai amirite?

Guys??

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I hate finna more than all the others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

it's AAVE, not made up, and there's literally no reason why "gonna" should be more legit. it's the exact same construction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 38 minutes ago

“Going to” is far superior to “fixing to,” so I don’t know what you are talking about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

None of those words will make me like it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3QQDAKxUIk from a linguist about finna (and gonna and other things)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 32 minutes ago

Yesssss it's language Jones!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Can we get a date on this? I don’t see skibidi or sus. And I’m most surprised to see the youths embracing finna

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

Based on my experience in the NE U.S., this list is current.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Literally 1984

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Dude, what a gnarly bunch of dweebs like, you can't use that language, doy!

[–] Clent 2 points 4 hours ago

Sweet fresh words. You da bomb, right list of legit dope slang. Boyah!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

If my kid ever comes home from school with a picture like this I'm having words with the teacher. Let the children have their fun ffs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

This list is missing "on my soul", which the illiterate children at my school (who have only ever heard it on snaptok and facegram, and are only poorly parroting it) replace with "oh my SO".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Kids are gonna kids

I don't understand what teachers think a "banned words list" is gonna accomplish except being the new target of bored kids/teens

(Unless they're just tired of hearing it, but this isn't a good solution imo)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I recall this meme from a year or so back with a different joke attached.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

On god I have a co-worker named Riz though. Straight bussin’.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Bruh, on God I'm not even gonna cap - you're being such a sigma male with that low key bussin mood, but say less about the rizz because you're doing too much with that type shit. Gucci fit, and I love that for you, but it's giving major gyatt energy, so no cap, that's high key straight fire, baka!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Demerits for misuse of "say less" and "baka". Other than that, high marks!

"Say less" is etymologically tied to "say no more". It is possible that I am wrong about "baka", because I'm an otaku, but I presume they're using it in the anime way, and not just completely divorcing it from its actual meaning. I might be giving them to much credit.

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

Doest baka more or less just mean "idiot\stupud"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Then it looks like his statement makes total cringe sense.

How did all of this brain damage manifest itself?

hastily scribbles fetch on the board

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 minutes ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

And here I thought that they misspelt 'banal'...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Every cohort of kids will have their slang and in-jokey vocabulary, a very small part of which will be entered permanently into the lexicon. I'd like to nominate "rizz" as this generation's contribution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Man, rizz is the new yeet, and both belong on the pedestal of excellent slang.

Im finna yeet rizz into heavy rotation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

skibidi [adj.]

- nonsense (derogatory)

That's my pick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Nah, that one is going to be emblematic of this period. In 2035 they're going to look back at videos from 2024 and hear all the skibidi and cringe the same way we do looking back at 2006 and hearing "FAIL!" every other word.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

You doin too much

Love that for you

Why?

Also, you can't stop language from changing. Change is certain. We don't talk like people 100 years ago and that's a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (4 children)

Those are phrases that get repeated verbatim as responses, which is the hypothetical reason they might be included on this (maaaaybe fake?) list. I'm actually slightly tired of them too, I have a couple students that really overuse them as responses to everything.
...Though I'd never be dumb enough to tell them that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yeah, they forgot to put "on my soul" on the list, though the kids at my school are all illiterate, so they just parrot it as "oh my SO".

Every. Five. Seconds.

The correct solution here is to just use these back at them at every opportunity. I feed on the cringe every time they say they didn't do something and I get the privilege to respond, flatly and with enunciation: "Cap."
