Ratio’d is probably more Twitter slang than anything.

Am millennial, have never heard ratio’d before
Zozano@lemy.lol 11 months ago
For the uninitiated, to be “ratio’d” means you had more comments than likes.
Because there are no downvotes on Twitter, being radio’d is synonymous with a shit take.

I think it's more twitter slang. Sure it can be applied elsewhere. But I've mostly heard it used regarding twitter posts.

Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was “nerd” talk
jdeath@lemm.ee 11 months ago
this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right

Aren't Gen alpha still young children? Their slang is a little too new to have much staying power yet.
Rustmilian@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Exactly.

Not to mention “barley in middle school”
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.

They’re just now figuring out what “beat your meat” actually means, give them time, for now everything they’ve come up with is cringe AF.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 11 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 being the change they needed to not lash out negatively, whether against themselves or others.

Latter means “comes last” not first.
