Wake me up when dope and rad re-enter the lexicon.
- Far out!
  
  Groovy
- Dope never left mine.
  
  Seconded.
  
  I'm sorry to hear that, but yeah, heroin is one hell of a drug ^/s
- I've been here the whole time.
  I also really like rad.
  
  (That one doesn’t work with the -o unfortunately)
- I am, much to my wife's dismay.
- k lol
- 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.
- I say dope and rad all the time.

When I was in 6th grade I was fucking cringe, little fucks these days acting like they ain't.
- 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.
  
  Memory unlocked
  
  At leas toys had some idea of what was going on. There’s kids today who think Nirvana is a clothing brand
  
  Excuse me but are you me?
  Are you KOЯN?
  
  Bro that was my biggest fear 😅
- Ya, they cringe AF

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.
- Only because 11 year olds aren't familiar with serving cunt yet
  
  *american 11 year olds
- drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene
  Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”
  Thanks :)
- 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.

But the most important part of the best meme ever is ROFL
- No gif?
  Edit: was easier to find than I had anticipated.

- My roflcopter goes soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi
  
  it's called a skippy
  
  Gonna have to look this one up. It went over my head.
- my roflcopter goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOISOISOISOISOISOI
  
  where is teh luv? teh loev? the luv?

Someday cringe will be cringe, and sick will be sick again.
- I was playing pokemon with my 7 year old nephew and he kept saying "{x pokemon} has sick moves bro", so maybe that time has already come. Although to be fair he also said "These noodles are on god" and then leaned over and whispered "that means really good." So maybe he's not exactly the best arbiter of gen alpha vernacular lol
  
  At that age, kids are absorbing stuff from their parents still because they haven't yet realized that their parents aren't cool.
  I wonder if that's what keeps the whole thing at least somewhat coherent. While a generation of teenagers figures out how they will talk, the younger generation absorbs words and phrases from both their immediate seniors as well as their parents' generation, resulting in a base that's still close to where their parents are. Maybe without that, we'd have entire new languages every few generations.
  Hmm that might even be the mechanism that causes fashion trends to repeat on a 20-30 year cycle.
- Sick
- That is so slay

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.

I weep, for my children will know not the joys of Roflcopter
- 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've never heard of roflcopter but I rofled so hard reading that it woke my toddler up

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
- based

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.

What is skibidy
- Please, hold on to this reality as long as you can.
- Bad
  Please don't watch (Piped mirror)
  
  I don't care what anyone says, I'm 38 and the skibidi toilet saga is epic. I'm waiting on part 74 right now.
  Sure, the first 20-ish shorts are repetitive and kinda annoying, but DaFuq!?Boom! evolved some crazy lore after that.
  
  I watched it and I still don't understand. Is this like the Yatta of the new generation?
  
  I'm in my 30s and i just find it funny. It's funny because it's random as heck, just like dragon dream feet or free bird or engineer nope. The reason people dissing it is really just because they don't want to be associated with kids.

- An old woman on the slopes perhaps? Kewl.

We can still say "fuck!" When we fucked up right?
- 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!
- We're back to "crud" and "shucks" now boomer
  
  Oh crud!

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

I still speak as if I'm from Ooo, so...
- Algebraic!
  
  mathematical!
- Ooo?
  
  The world from Adventure Time. It’s heavily implied to be a post-apocalyptic earth, which is wildly mutated from the present day by an atomic war. IIRC, the stated backstory is that the land of Ooo is what remains after the Great Mushroom War. We see glimpses of the world immediately following the war, and it looks like a Fallout situation, with packs of survivors, radiation exposure, etc… And eventually, it settled into the Land of Ooo.
  
  Its the world that Adventure Time takes place in.
  
  Many many years in the future, long after the great mushroom war, that is what they will call the Earth.
  (Adventure Time)

I read LMAO is reversed if something is extremely funny and I was confused af for a minute
- OAML!
  
  Orgasmic Atomic Major Laughter

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

Hell yeah, I'll be cool again when that gen grows up

Ok but now I want to know what their new words are.

I will never stop saying "shiver me timbers"
- And I, "Damn the torpedoes!"

It's all tubular.
As a kid from the 80s-era San Fernando Valley, I have legit cred to say that.

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 👆👆👆

Whoa, this is heavy!
- There's that word again! Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravity in the past?
  
  You mean mavity?

That's tight
- Everything is when you’re phat

6th graders are not arbiters of slang. 15-24 year olds are.

What about "What's crackin?"
