Don't pretend you didn't become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
I don't remember getting any new slang as a kid.
Yeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.
90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly
Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that. It’s still too commonly used but nothing like it was back then.
not to mention the casual use of the hard R. even Linus from LTT admitted to have dropped his fair share of hard Rs back then.
That's because to you it was just normal.
What I remember from the 90/00s: sinch, hella, coolio, jam (going), spaz, poser, chillax, bitchin, burn, noob, booyah, aight, duh, phat, sup, stoked, jiggy, harsh, buzz kill
There's a shitton more, but that's what I got off the top of my head
Yes to all except jiggy. I feel like that was just Will Smith trying to make Fetch happen.
You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn't stand out against everything else the same way it does when you're older.
I did not, for I was a loser who didn't know slang
GenX here. Kids enjoying doing kid things even if we don't understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You're doing fine. No cap.
I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.
If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said 'flush.'
I miss the toilet game haha
When we played it you also had to go down on one knee, and the person unfreezing you had to sit on your knee while they flushed your arm.
I actually love these new slangs! Based.

The emotional damage of simultaneously realising that you are old and understanding all the people you laughed at for yelling "get off my lawn"
How would one rizz someone else? Basically, what is rizzing?
rizzing is effectively flirting with someone. and I don't mean like "it has the effect of flirting" I mean you flirt with someone, and it's being effective.
Aka abbreviated "charisma."
rizz is charisma. you can have all the rizz in the world and still fail to "rizz someone up" if they're not interested
conversely, you can have absolutely no charisma and successfully rizz someone right up
absolutely no charisma and successfully rizz someone up
That’s my strategy - rizz’m with the tizm.
And is "mew" just making a cat noise or something more?
A technique attributed to a British orthodontist named Mike Mew that involves putting pressure on the roof of your mouth with your tongue to try and change the shape of your face by moving your maxilla up and forwards with the lateral pressure of your tongue. This fits into the broader looksmax approach to self-modification in the name of love and romance.
