    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.

    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.

  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.

  • brandocorp@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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?

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 We always felt a decade out of date on fads and slang lol.

• bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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
