  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.

        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.

      This is what we called cigarettes in Australia.

        Same in Britain. Damn homophobia ruining perfectly good slang!

      We had a couple weeks calling people “F.A.G.s’ and “M.A.G.s” for 'female ass grabber” and “male ass grabber”. As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.

    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.

      Don’t casually throw “spaz” in there with a load of inoffensive stuff!

    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.

    source

    • brandocorp@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think this is true, but I also grew up without Internet or social media so maybe things were more regional as opposed to this larger shared culture those things have enabled. So that may be part of it?

      source

      • NikkiDimes@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        As someone who grew up in rural Canada, I feel that. We always felt a decade out of date on fads and slang lol.

    Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You had to learn it at some point. You weren’t born with a lexicon of slang that revealed itself when it suddenly became modern/relevant lol

  Watching millennials/gen x pick on Gen Z for the same behaviors we all had gets old doesn’t it?

  source

  • candybrie@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    And the kids playing tag are likely not even gen z but gen alpha. No one can even pick on the right generation.

    source
• gdog05@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don’t think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.

      I kind of figured it was implied but eh. Some things don’t land.

        Yeah, well. World is full of racists. Can hardly even make fun of 'em without being mistaken for one, now.

        This reminded me of the month ‘wigga’ was every fucking one’s favorite word at my very-nearly-all-white school. Nothing good, indeed.
