No, it just shouldn’t be capitalized. It’s short for “operative” and usually refers to somebody you think is (or jokingly think is) working for/with the cops or feds.
It’s “Opp,” not OPP
Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 7 months ago
Yeah you know me!
Sorry, 42 years old, force of habit.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It’s “opp” with two p’s but it’s short for “operative”, a word with one p? I’m starting to think that you don’t really know either.
ccunning@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Sounds like Narc would be the translation then…
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I think it’s short for “opposition”, as in a rival gang
tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Oh I thought it was short for “opponent” lol
Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Oh a narc. That’s funny cuz up here the cops are actually called the OPP
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s where my mind went, too. I’m 40.
don@lemm.ee 7 months ago
The last p, well… that’s not that simple. It’s sorta like another way to call a cat kitten. As for the ladies, OPP means something gifted: the first two letters are the same but the last is something different; it’s another five letter word rhymin’ with cleanest and meanest.

My high school Algebra teacher was once telling the class about ZPP, the zero product property. He told us when he was teaching in the 90s, there was a new song out called OPP and he would say “you down with ZPP?” and the class would say “yeah you know me!” lol

Penist!
4am@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Is it just “OP”? Like how online forums starting Reddit say “original poster” and this just snuck its way into all conversation?
Toneswirly@lemmy.world 7 months ago
As a younger millenial I gotta say some of these are ours. We were calling things “extra” since like '06. Vibe is as old as the hippies, and mid is weed slang from like the early 2000s.
oatscoop@midwest.social 7 months ago
Every generation uses old slang they mistakenly believe they invented.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Or in the case of ‘out of pocket’ every generaation just ignorantly bastardizes random shit.
Pulptastic@midwest.social 7 months ago
You down with OPP?
devnull406@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah You know me
Rusty@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Yeah, our generation was streets ahead of those zoomers.
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 7 months ago

sup. /the ‘p’ is silent and the vowel becomes elongated with a drop; off. “SUh h”

Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Does ‘else if’ become ‘cap nocap’?
db2@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Only in that context, it loses the meaning they’re trying for if you’re not using it exactly like that.
Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 7 months ago
“I feel old”
Picture of something printed on paper
snooggums@midwest.social 7 months ago
Ick is just short for icky and vibe has been around for decades.
Gnarly list.
Icaria@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The whole trend is nothing new. Millennials and some GenXers were stealing all their slang from American rappers when they were young, too.
KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Radically tubular
RHSJack@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Very heather.
BluesF@lemmy.world 7 months ago
“Giving” is ballroom slang from like, the 80s.
4am@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yeah but giving is seeing a surge, particularly as attitudes about LGBTQA shift
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think they’re saying “the ick” or something but that’s also pretty understandable by everyone.
John_McMurray@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I seem to recall when they were translating “grunge” slang and it was also mostly bullshit didn’t actually use.
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Does double for drug slang. It’s either decades out of date or just plain made up
Spendrill@lemm.ee 7 months ago
How am I supposed to ask for my yellow bentines now?
Emerald@lemmy.world 7 months ago
where skibidi?
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Thought that was Alpha gen.
kspatlas@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It depends, it’s generally used by gen z to mock gen alpha, though some of the youngest genz do use it regularly
DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
It’s not a real slang term as far as I’m aware, it’s just a mock slang term that showed up because skibidi toilet happened to also be a meme around the time zoomer slang also became a meme.
CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Whats the oldies equivalent?
Klear@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Gmod.
confluence@lemmy.world 7 months ago
yes yes
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months ago
Not rather Gen Alpha already? I too am kinda getting lost here, as a Gen Z.
anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
I swear to god half of the slang from memes like this is just aspirational. Pretty fetch imo.
Vespair@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Usually yeah, but for once those are actually real slang genuinely used the Z/alpha crowd and through them tiktok in general
SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 months ago
Gyatt was originally just a different pronunciation of god: GOD DAMN! = GYATT DAYUM!
ickplant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That actually makes sense, thank you for explaining.
ICastFist@programming.dev 7 months ago
I thought the youngsters these days were using thicc to refer to big butts, as in GYAT DAYUM DAS THICC
boonhet@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I’m a very late millennial, borderline Gen Z, and even I feel like all my slang knowledge is outdated.

Opp? How can I explain it? Take it frame by frame it, to have y’all all jumping, shouting, saying it? O is for other, P is for people, scratch your temple, because the last P? Well that’s not so simple…
babypigeon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You down with OPP?
KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 months ago

Wait till these dusky dewdrops get the vespers when they see my cut of cabbage.
JakenVeina@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Thebfuck is “cheugy”? How the hell do you pronounce that?
boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think the Gen z column is more like ebonics. B rad from the boo would approve
Drusas@kbin.social 7 months ago
"Vibe" is just a regular noun.
player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
I think ‘mid’ means middle or mid-grade weed, which means a similar thing as ‘mediocre’ like the chart says.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months ago
You down with O.P.P.? Yeah you know me!
There. Now you can feel even older.
tuxtey@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m such a fan of gyatt, it’s just so damn fun to say.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 months ago
I thought bussin just meant “good” and could pertain go anything, not just food.
billwashere@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Here I thought OPP was other peoples pussy…
Donkter@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Lol for some reason “delulu” hits just as bad as calling someone retarded. The only difference is one isn’t a medical term. It’s a well chosen word.
xorollo@leminal.space 7 months ago
I got this as a fax, and it said I had to mail it to at least seven other people to be blessed.
noxy@yiffit.net 7 months ago
“on god” is at least millennial, I heard that one 20 years ago
someguy3@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Do all Gen Z speak like this? Or just the really over the top ones?
Gabu@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Gen Z/Alpha is fine… except for this shit. Talk like a fucking human, for fuck’s sake.
madsnielxyz@lemmy.world 7 months ago
looks like a intern project at a graphic design shop. get that Gen Z kid to write us up a slang Rosetta stone!
saltesc@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This is what happens when friends don’t give friends shit for acting like a wigger and you end up with a bunch of Pretty Fly for a White Guys making everyone cringe.
Letstakealook@lemm.ee 7 months ago
A third of those predate gen z. The complete nonsense words are definitely on them, though.
Atomdude@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.
