  Y.O.L.O was the worst >
  
  What’s even worse was when I was 16 I planned on getting YOLO tattooed across my knuckles. I’m seriously glad my parents are anti-tattoo and that 16 Y/Os are not allowed to legally get tattoos. I would honestly kms lmao >
  
  That would not have been very lit fam lmao >
  
  You right! But hey, YOLO amirite 🥴 >
  
  The problem with not being a teenger and using lingo like this is that it will make you appear as a tragically hip adult. >
  
  That’s a fair point, but I think you can get away with it if you execute correctly and use it properly and appropriately >
  
  It's way more fun to fuck it up on purpose. There is no greater joy than watching how my nieces look at me when I use slang completely wrong. >
  
  That’s so true! We have a friend that says “busting” instead of “bussin” so we’ll casually just drop “this food is quite busting, huh?” And he hasn’t noticed 💀 >
  
  Better example, say "Yo this food has me bussin' " >
  
  I’m going to fricking do it lmao >
  
  For more fun, you can pronounce text slang, but don't do 'lul' do ONG. Just let it come out as a cave man noise mid conversation. "Was the food good?" "UNNG! No cap." >
  
  I’m already an idiot within the friend group, so they will just get a kick outta this, honestly! Thank you, stranger >:) >
  
  I agree. Modern slang is hilarious. >
  
  It just goes along with how we’ve shortened a lotta things, as well. I just love it lol >
  
  I'm having an aneurysm reading these replies. >
  
  LMAOOOOOOO come on now! It’s not so bad! >
  
  We're around the same age. Back then there were still "internet people" and normies. Gen Z are all internet people >
  
  That’s true. I remember when memes started surfacing on Facebook. They were so horrendous. But Gen Z kids are unhinged and I love it 🤣 >
  
  Gen z are much funnier and more self-aware honestly. Wish I was born 10 years later, I’m 26. My age group were just trash in so many ways- hideous fashion, stupid lingo, dubstep, lame memes. Obviously there’s cringey stuff with gen z (as with any teenagers) but my age group had literally 0 redeeming features. >
  
  Yea, I don't think children became more self aware just because they spent thousands of hours looking at a screen.  The ones I know are the exact same as kids from a decade or 2 ago other than some added internet culture and more obesity. >
  
  They unironically are though. Way more educated on mental health, political issues etc. than teenagers have ever been. More empathetic too, bullying is a lot less common now for example. Having the entirety of human knowledge at your fingertips all the time is actually a good thing you’re just a grumpy old man. >
  
  Lol you should ask a few thirty year teachers you know sometime if their classrooms have morphed into some self aware utopia.
  If bullying is less common today I'm sure it's because everyone has a camera in their pocket and not some huge leap forward in self awareness.
  Being more educated about mental health and political issues does not make someone more self aware.  A few of the least self aware people I know are geniuses in both areas.  In fact, in my experience people who are super knowledgeable in these areas are less self aware.  The dudes arguing about politics at a party are about the least self aware people I can think of.
  I never said the internet was a bad thing... And just because being a jock is not as big of a deal as it was when you were in high school doesn't mean people are more self aware now. That's not the definition of self awareness. >
  
  Give it another 10 years and all of today's slang will seem stupid, too. It's just the natural order of things. >
  
  Idk, “cool” is considered slang that has been universally accepted. Which is kinda cool, haha. But I don’t every word is going to survive. A lot of them will fade away, but I’m sure a couple will survive it >
  
  True; there are always a handful of terms that survive and become permanently integrated into our cultural lexicon, "cool" being a particularly noteworthy example. But I feel like today's slang environment is too fast paced, in addition to the fact that most of this slang is isolated to internet use only. >
  
  That’s a good point as well. It seems like new words are frequently coming out, but only a few are actually sticking. It’s going to be interesting what sticks and what just disappears. I’ve heard some pretty silly words in my time, so i guess we’ll have to wait and see what’s cool in a few years haha >
  
  I disagree, because there’s too many people just making up dumb slang versions for anything now. Like yesterday I heard someone call chicken noodle soup “chicken noo”. I’m like why does that even need to be a thing? I guess everyone has to be an edgelord to compete for social media attention/affirmation now but they just come off sounding like a Hunter Moore >
  
  Ok you aren’t gonna catch me ever calling chicken noodle soup “chicken noo” 💀 That’s super corny! I’m not sure who Hunter Moore is, but I’ll look them up! >
  
  Bussin is cringe >
  
  I am cringe :( >
  
  Cringe is cringe. >
  
  Me as a 30yo who constantly says DOPE to mean cool. I’m way out of touch. >
  
  Fuck. Dope is literally my go-to word when anything is cool to me. Im 29. >
  
  Fuck, same. 29 y/o. Dope is how I respond in so many situations >
  
  Go back further to when it was all easy to understand >
  
  Too far, TOO FAR!! go back! When everything was fresh and dope >
  
  LMAOOOOOO, don’t get me wrong! Y’know? That’s what it was being said back on the playground in elementary school. But back then, you hear someone say “dope”, “fresh”, or “off the hook” you could just ask them about it haha. and while they were cool then, I just don’t think they’re quite as cool or entertaining nowadays! >
  
  I hate you. Upvoted. >
  
  Don’t worry, I love you, friendo! >
  
  Ah bring it in, you son of a bitch! >
  
  Dad?! >
  
  that part >
  
  Bruh ong frfr you ain’t cappin. You fr ate with that one 🙏 >
  
  Ate and left no crumbs >
  
  Gotdang bruh left no crumbs? SHEEEEEEEEEEEEESHHHHH >
  
  r/FellowKids >
  
  I just joined it too ;) >
  
  I kinda agree on most and im 30 too. The early 2000 were peak cringe slang imo >
  
  I seen somebody comment early “u rachet af” and it brought me back, my brother in Christ >
  
  I'm gen z, and I find a lot of it kind of meh. I personally don't use it. Not because I'm a hipster, not because I'm annoyed by it, it's just not me. >
  
  And I completely understand that! It’s not for every one and I respect your opinion on the matter :’) >
  
  OMG THATS FRICKIN HILARIOUS LMAOOOO 💀💀 >
  
  Your slang AND their slang suck. >
  
  “Your slang AND their slang suck.” 👴🏻 it’s giving >
  
  Oh, get off my lawn. >
  
  Shut up, Grandpa! I'm trying to get my ball! >
  
  It's all stupid. I hate the fact that some of these ridiculous things end up in the dictionary. >
  
  Turns out language is ever-changing and that ever-changing is decided by term popularity, so stuff like this is bound to happen. And that is exactly the only part I love about language, its diversity and creativity. >
  
  Slang today is low key bussin’. Back when I was young, it was high key mid at best, on god fr fr. >
  
  Bruh your comment got me bricked rn, ong. Your comment did not miss and you definitely ate on that one 🙏 You passin’ the vibe check >
  
  Sheesh bro, you a real one my guy. No cap. >
  
  Dang bruh, you fr about to make me cry rn, no cap >

  Bruh, ion bruh. I fr on blood got bricked just by touching someone. Gotta forgive me, king, I’m not unbased by being gay, bruh. Just that DOG in me >
  
  The 80's were much better but I'd probably get banned for listing our awesome slang >
  
  Dew it. >
  
  What is bussin and rizz lol feeling old now >
  
  Bussin’ means something was really good. Say you ate a really delicious piece of cake, you’ll say “Wow, this cake was bussin” 
  And rizz is just short for charisma. Essentially, if you can spit game, you got rizz lol >
  
  It’s just a word, so calm down for starters lol. Secondly, I’m not the one to originally “steal” if, and honestly, if you have an issue, go to Twitter or something lol. >
  
  I dont wish to sound hip. >
  
  I wasn’t even hip when I was hip. >
  
  Rizz is a pretty goofy word but I'll never stop enjoying calling somebody a rizzly bear >
  
  LMFAOOOO THANKS. IM ABOUT TO START THAT NOW >
  
  Spread the word of Christ, rizzly bear >
  
  My wife gon get home and ima call her a rizzly bear. 💀 She gonna roll them eyes at me lmao >
  
  I support this wholeheartedly >
  
  it’s game over for me, because of you. She’s going to be so fed up with my shenanigans 😝 >
  
  Your welcome, it's my gift to humanity >
  
  When I was a teen, we had stupid things like “Y.O.L.O”, “on fleek”, “I can’t even” and some others that I’m drawing a blank too. 
  Swagger was another one that, used in a lame context, and tone, could be cringey. >
  
  Ew, I wish I could get that outta my brain 😭 “Look how swagged out I am” 
  Do you remember those stupid swag memes where they’re like “I don’t need oxygen, I just need SWAG” lol >
  
  Yes. 🥸 >
  
  That and snap backs 🤮 >
  
  Snap backs aren’t as bad as others! 👀 >
  
  Some yeah! But the weed ones or the ones that read “SWAG” were horrible lmao >
  
  Based >
  
  Based red pilled >
  
  Hahahah >
  
  Bussin, bricked up, and drip are all slang you can hear in 90s rap >
  
  I don’t doubt that, but yeno it just didn’t get popular into 2020 ish. Which is wild, but that’s how the cookie crumbles! >
  
  Todays slang is the worst and it drives me insane. I hate all of it and I hate seeing it. Dumbest shit ever said by any human being. >
  
  Why do you hate it so much? Your opinion is valid, but just wondering why you hate it so much lol >
  
  It’s annoying to me as I see it everywhere and hear it all the time. My friends say some of it a lot too like rizz, drip and bussin. And don’t even get me started on the rent free thing. Every time you say something about someone there always has to be the rent free quip. Like get a new damn line! I just think some slang is said way too much and it’s gotten to a point where I can’t stand it anymore. Same with the word bro as my friend says it after almost every sentence. It’s irritating. It’s like when a word or phrase is said so much you begin to notice how often it’s actually said and it drives you crazy.
  I guess that means I’m just on the internet too much and I should really take a break lol. Other than that, I don’t know why modern slang irks me so much. >
  
  Overuse can be so obnoxious! I completely understand your POV and that would irk me too! But the quip about rent free is so obnoxious, that I hardly ever use it myself haha! Because i stg, people will use that for EVERYTHING. 
  And your friend using bro after every sentence would drive me up the walls too!! But i completely understand your POV a list better! >
  
  Finally somebody gets me. I thought I was all alone on that one. >
  
  Nope! Once you explained it, i completely understand you!! It’s so obnoxious! Haha >
  
  As if >
  
  Unbased >
  
  Talk to the hand >
  
  UGH, my mom always said that one to me lmao >
  
  Take a chill pill >
  
  I'm a cool or neat guy. Found what I go to (50 or so years ago) and feel no need to try and keep up. Sometimes I do have to google new terms just to see what they mean. But if someone uses slang on me I just tell them to repeat it in English. Yeah, I'm a fuddy duddy. >
  
  You sound like a cool and neat guy! It’s an ol head (no offense) thing to say that to us youngins who use slang. Put you get a pass, because you seem pretty cool! >
  
  
  Just because you’re not a teenager, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with todays lingo! I see a lotta of people say they’re too old for it, you’re never too old to be apart of an ever changing vocabulary.
  
  My teenager would disagree with this. He tells me to stop when I try. I guess I don't say them right. I also use older slang when talking to him for the extra cringe factor. >
  
  LMAOOOOOO, I guess being a mom and having a teenager just makes them cringe. You’re probably saying it right, but teens are just oddballs. My mom would always say “homie” and “off the chain” and I would ROLL. MY. EYES. She still says it and I’m still trying to tell her those aren’t cool anymore! But she refuses to change. If you feel like your teen isn’t being 100% honest about something, you should tell him “I feel like you’re cappin’ right now” that’ll really make them cringe lol >
  
  That's great lmao. I'll keep that in mind. >
  
  I hope you get a fun reaction outta them! >
  
  Is “on fleek” considered old slang now? Can time please stop moving? >
  
  It’s somewhat outdated now 😭 It’s kinda like groovy, it’s outdated, but still useable! >
  
  I can hang with all of today's lingo, cause I'm a groovy cat. >
  
  I feel like “yolo” and “on fleek” were two very different eras lol >
  
  Maybe they were??? It’s a massive blur, but I think you’re right. I think on fleek and swag were around the same time. I think lol >
  
  Your spelling and grammar is whack. >
  
  Don’t make fun of my grammar, I was under the influence of anesthesia and a  Percocet 🤬 I was a lil loopy yesterday >
  
  That's no excuse. I'm currently under the influence of alcohol and weed. My spelling and grammar, while not perfect, is far from atrocious. >
  
  Dog, it’s 11:05 lmao >
  
  I got home from work two hours ago. Besides, it's 5 o'clock somewhere. >
  
  I agree. I graduated HS in 2014 and Last decade’s slang was probably the worst in existence. >
  
  HONESTLY! I refuse to use that slang again 🤬 It’s atrocious >
  
  I know I’m just going to yeet that out of my vocabulary >
  
  We gon keep yeet, tho 🙏 That’s one word that we gotta have! >
  
  W rizz >
  
  So glad I’m not the only one. I work with a bunch of gen z kids and I love the way they speak. Also somehow convinced them that I’m one of them and it blows my mind a bit >
  
  HAHAHA! That is literally so wholesome! They really are a unique bunch of kids and I really think their creativity is going to really outshine our Gen(assuming you’re about my age) 
  They’re frickin hilarious, they’re creatively hilarious, and they seem to be a lot more understanding about mental health. I really love to see what good they do for the world and media alike! >
  
  We’re the same age. I agree for sure. They have a different spark to them. 
  They are so understanding and most I know will go the extra mile for others always. Their mental health awareness is wild and that’s coming from my psych degree. I’m curious to see what they’ll ultimately do. >
  
  Same!! These kids are going to be so awesome! >
  
  My man... you're way too young to disclude yourself from the modern slang demographic. >
  
  That’s what I’m saying! Modern day slang is where it’s at! >
  
  Upvoted. Ew. You win this round OP >
  
  YES FINALLY!! I win :’) >
  
  The “live in my head rent free” actually MAKES SENSE. >
  
  I REALLY LIKE IT! It’s just.. fitting somehow?! >
  
  Hard disagree, I think 70s/80s slang is bitchin, rad, and tubular despite those boge hairdos but I’m just joshin when I say those acid wash jeans weren’t choice. But gag me with a spoon, cuz I’m about to Ralph at the idea that kids these days don’t listen to Madonna! >
  
  AYO, I could understand all those words, and I kinda lowkey miss them!! I never liked those acid wash jeans tho! Not a look at all, but they were popular asf! Hahah, I was born in 93 so when I was about 5, the 80’s were slowly dying off and the 90’s started to blow up! But I’d watch 80’s shows with my parents, so I’m kinda right there In the at the end of the 80’a moving to the 90’s! >
  
  Fr fr no cap. (I have no idea what that means.) >
  
  “For real for real no lie” is essentially what it means ;) >
  
  Oh, I just like the sound the phrase makes >
  
  I'm slightly older than you (32) and for a very brief period, solely because of the movie Juno, we had "home skillet".
  It's only gotten better since then, and in this if nothing else I have faith in the future. >
  
  AYO, I occasionally still use home skillet. It just comes out and I can’t stop myself lol. 
  But I definitely agree! The kids growing up are going to have a very fascinating vocabulary. I’m proud of them :’) >
  
  Can we just thank black people for making a lot of American slang >
  
  That black community has given us many words and slang. 
  When white people tried to make slang it was “I can’t even.” 🙄 >
  
  Lol!!! >
  
  You’re 29 and desperately trying to cling to a teenaged era you left a decade ago. 
  Just accept you’re an old fart like the rest of us and don’t try to learn their vernacular. Your objective now is to maintain annual doctor appointments, eat enough fiber, and write performance reviews for your employees.
  Your next step is 45, having your own teenager that you embarrass by learning their slang. >
  
  Learning something new everyday is a powerful thing! Especially considering we have the internet and all this vast knowledge at fingertips. I could constantly live in ignorance of what somebody is saying, or I could learn what they’re saying and have a conversation with them! Trust me, I hated being a teen,but I enjoy being an adult lol. 
  And to your comment about performance reviews, I could always say
  “Jimmy’s worth ethic has been fire. That man deserves a raise, ong 🙏” lol >
  
  It’s nice to learn stuff, but if you ever use that knowledge it’ll likely come off weird. Whenever coworkers use current slang unironically, it sounds weird. >
  
  I guess it depends on who you use it with or around, honestly. I don’t think some of it is going away and will probably stay around for a long while. Yeno?? >
  
  Fully sick mate >
  
  Off the chains, broski! >
  
  Not in my country hahaha its stupid they say things like kapot mooi or kapot lekker, wich basicly is the opposite of each other like broken good >
  
  It’s so cool how slang works in different countries haha I have no idea how you’d use broken good in context! >
  
  As a 35 YO old person I say NO IT ISN'T! >
  
  YOU’RE STILL SO YOUNG!! >
  
  I don’t know any of these words, y’all are young af >
  
  Hahaha! You can’t be that much older than me! >
  
  Absolutely fucking not. >
  
  Sir, you dropped your 🧢 >
  
  Rizz >
  
  You understand 🙏 >
  
  Cool beans kid! >
  
  I don’t think cool beans is going to ever die off either! 💀 >
  
  That’s so crash! >
  
  I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT
