Alternative title: use these words if you want your kid to never say them again

[-] UnrefinedChihuahua@lemmy.dbzer0.com 86 points 5 months ago

I started doing this and it works. Even better when I string them together incoherently and then they all get even madder.

[-] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

I like to use their words incorrectly to mess with them. Come up behind them playing Minecraft: "Are you playing that Roblox?" Or "For Real No Cat?'

Dads have been enjoying this since home video games became a thing. Now go play your Gameboy.

I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.

There is no such thing as generational slang. There is just slang.

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

Sticking out my GYAT for the Rizzler, something something fanum tax.

Shoot me now.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Omg that's so skibidi

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

I'm gen-x and I am at the point where I don't know if I say anything unironically any more.

(But you are spot on, slang is there, always, and it mutates as it is needed, but it isnt generational so much as sociopolitical and regional.)

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

My wife named my bird Rizz.

She says I finally have rizz.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Prove it, show us the Rizz!

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago
[-] deadlock@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

You got rizz, alright!

I believe this as well, no cap

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 49 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

A lot of those are GenZ slang not Gen alpha slang.
Gen Alpha aren't going to have their own slang that's not completely cringe until the ladder half gets to highschool. RN they're barely in middle school.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 25 points 5 months ago
[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Not to mention "barley in middle school"

I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty good for a cereal crop.

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago
[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

They're just now figuring out what "beat your meat" actually means, give them time, for now/so far everything they've come up with is cringe AF. Same thing happened with GenZ & millennials, first was an adoption & adaptation of older slang mixed with cringe as hell new slang that faded out of popularity, then overtime much better slang evolved.
They're still in that "I'm a potato" phase of slang development.

Edit : NVM, dyslexia moment.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I don't think being cringe really exists when it comes to kids. They are developing into who they are/will be.

Adults on the other hand like myself I could say can be, because we are supposed to(according to culture) have figured out who we are, so when we do something out of place it is an attention seeking act that went poorly often times. So when I say a bad joke, I can come across as cringy, or even me trying to explain myself here can come across as cringy. But kids, we need to cut them a lot more slack. We shouldn't be punching down on adults either, but if we start by supporting those kids finding themselves maybe it'll grow with time and eventually maybe anyone can say something dumb and not feel like they should shove their head in the sand, but rather feel safe in their own insecurity and be supported by people around them.

Love for those feeling insecure may be the change they needed to not lash out negatively, whether against themselves or others.

Ratio'd isn't even GenZ but Millenial, right?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

Ratio'd is probably more Twitter slang than anything.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

Am millennial, have never heard ratio'd before

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with "generational" comparisons, please, and the click bait that goes with it? Let's instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?

Probably not, but here's to hoping.

[-] jdeath@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

nassim taleb calls it "over-platonification," expecting everything to meet some platonic ideal. it is absolutely pervasive. this is another great example of it

I keep a little bottle of tanning lotion under my pillow for the Tanman in case he comes to town.

The onion should do a satire version of this article…

#1) BizzBop: a can of soda

#2) shaplopped: sitting down in your chair too hard

#3) smooly-D: having difficulty keeping aim at the urinal.

#4) snorkeling: to have such abundance that you are euphemistically ‘swimming’ in something.

Last night I shaplopped, was snorkeling in bizzbop so hard that my smooly-D was straight killing it.

What else y’all got?

Older gen alpha are 12-- but all of the references are from current social media influencers. You can't even "officially" access you tube until your account says you're 13.
