When I was in 6th grade I was fucking cringe, little fucks these days acting like they ain’t.
Ya, they cringe AF
When I was in 6th grade all the cool kids had band names in White-Out on their backpacks. I’d only ever listened to my parents’ music so I was clueless. One day I went home and put all the bands on my backpack I could remember. First thing the next day, I’m pressed to name a single Korn song and I failed.
6th grade was hell.
At leas toys had some idea of what was going on. There’s kids today who think Nirvana is a clothing brand
that’s Billabong
Even worse? Even most who knew Nirvana was a band forgot that Teen Spirit was an actual deodorant marketed towards teens
Excuse me but are you me?
Are you KOЯN?
Memory unlocked
Bro that was my biggest fear 😅
The same bully pressed me to name the band that did Teen Spirit and I guessed the Spin Doctors, my mom played them and that was as much “alternative” I knew 😅
Dark days bro.
Wake me up when dope and rad re-enter the lexicon.
Dope never left mine.
Seconded.
Dope things gonna dope
I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah, heroin is one hell of a drug ^/s
One of the very few I’ve never tried! Absolutely how I plan to go out, if I learn I’m terminal.
k lol
Far out!
Groovy

I am, much to my wife’s dismay.
I’ve been here the whole time.
I also really like rad.
(That one doesn’t work with the -o unfortunately)
I feel like every time I hear “neat” it’s meant semi-sarcastically. Like, okay, I guess that’s kind of interesting, but it’s not really relevant or I don’t know how to continue the conversation.
“So, not that it relates to anything we’re talking about, but I’m a world champion in this one very niche thing that you’ve never heard of.”
“…neat.”
That’s how I use it most of the time. That and “nifty”
It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.
Awesome! It’s totally radical and all the PHAT people know how to be hip. You better be there or be square dig it?
I just started saying rad recently. I’m almost 40 though so… yeah.
Been doing it for years myself, currently advocating for “def”
Will anyone pick it up? No. Do I care? Nah.
What about “Mint”
It’s a plant in the genus Mentha, typically aromatic. But that’s not important right now.
Surely you can’t be serious?
Don’t call me Shirley.
I say dope and rad all the time.
Slay and serve are part of the drag/queer community lexicon that were made popular (iirc) in the NY ballroom scene. No one cares when 6th graders use them or if they stop.
If you watch queer media or hang out with The Gays, you’ll hear them all the time. They’re a bit campy, but not cringe.
This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There’s an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.
drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene
Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”
Thanks :)
Only because 11 year olds aren’t familiar with serving cunt yet
*american 11 year olds
But the most important part of the best meme ever is ROFL
My roflcopter goes soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi
Gonna have to look this one up. It went over my head.
it’s called a skippy
I’ve been a helicopter pilot for like 55 years.
That’s a deep cut Mr Segal.
No gif?
Edit: was easier to find than I had anticipated.

Turn that link into an embed with

I may be wrong but I believe the description is what is read by screen readers to help those with visual impairments.
I’m pretty sure you’re right.
I try to fill it in where I can, I may have come off more dismissive than I meant and should’ve elaborated.
my roflcopter goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOISOISOISOISOISOI
where is teh luv? teh loev? the luv?
I’m sorry, I’m on the fence. I’m all onboard calling “rizz” and “skibidi” cringe, but I’m never going to stop slaying or serving.
Especially the phrase slay queen.
I don’t slay queens, I serve them
Rizz was always cringe.
I think “rizzler” is pretty funny when used ironically
Dear Batman,
It’s the Rizzler…
So close
Skibidi is literally after a toilet meme, slay is old AF and I’ve never heard of serve.
Hell yeah, I’ll be cool again when that gen grows up
I weep, for my children will know not the joys of Roflcopter
I’ve never heard of roflcopter but I rofled so hard reading that it woke my toddler up
We should really chisel all of our memes in granite and stand them up in a field so that future generations may know our genius.
I read LMAO is reversed if something is extremely funny and I was confused af for a minute

We’re back to “crud” and “shucks” now boomer
Oh crud!
I fuck up on the regular, should I be concerned about my karma scores in regards to exclaiming “ah, fuck” or classics such as “good job fuckknuckle”?
Shit I gotta use that!..fuckknuckle!
Slay and Serve are very much alive in drag communities.
They’ve been around before and will stay around after. Pop culture was just borrowing it.
Oh good. Always thought rizz was stupid because it sounds too close to jizz.
Short for chajizzma
And now I know what rizz is short for! Never knew.
I’m cool, no one can tell me otherwise.
I picked up shizzle for rizzle from Tiny Tina and works as a rated G version of the shit meaning either the genuine article or the diggity dank.
“shizzle for rizzle” is snoop dogg slang from the 90’s
my nizzle
Damn, my grade 7 class is cringe af. Kid keeps naming himself “skibidisigma” every time we play Blooket.
TIL
Quizlet Kids?
Seems more like Kahoot
The “wait a minute, whoo arre you” kid?
No, it’s like a quiz game that works kinda like Jackbox. Questions/answers get shown on the main screen, and everyone answers on their phones. For people that answer correctly, the ones that answer faster get more points.
It’s a fun way to review class material and keep students engaged
It’s kind of like Kahoot, but there’s a greater variety of games.
The teacher hosts a game with a question set they either found it made, and each student joins on a device. They’re givegiven the questions and selecting correct answers earns them something relative to the game.
The most traditional one is the one that was described here, where they are given every question in sequence and are awarded points for the accuracy and speed of their answers, but there is some great variety. There’s a tower defense game where correct answers give you the currency to buy and upgrade towers, a “survivors”-like game where a correct answer is required to be given a choice of weapon upgrades and several variants on slot machine-esque games, where correct answers gives them a random bonus ranging across gaining score, multiplying score or stealing score from other players.
I like to use it with the kids whenever I require some rote memorization. Ie, we’re reviewing terms we’ve used or will be using in a unit, or we’re refreshing things they’re supposed to have learned in previous years.
There’s some great single-player options too, if you ever find yourself struggling to deal with rote memorization for any courses you’d take as an adult, too. While it’s definitely targeted towards classrooms and kids, the games are imo substantially more engaging ways to memorize things that are in general hard to care about outside of a requirement for some job, diploma or degree.
But does it use AI?
That’s Kazoo. Kahoots is a Mexican coffee liqueur.
based
I’ve only ever used them ironically, so I can confirm I’m a linguical mastermind
Just like how people should ironically updoot my comment here, since I am very low on Lemmy karma and need some 👆👆👆
Ok but now I want to know what their new words are.
