    A third of those predate gen z. The complete nonsense words are definitely on them, though.

    • Atomdude@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.

      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

        Sorry, 42 years old, force of habit.

        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.

    • don@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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

      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 ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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.

      Every generation uses old slang they mistakenly believe they invented.

        Or in the case of ‘out of pocket’ every generaation just ignorantly bastardizes random shit.

        Only in that context, it loses the meaning they’re trying for if you’re not using it exactly like that.

      The whole trend is nothing new. Millennials and some GenXers were stealing all their slang from American rappers when they were young, too.

        Uh Gen X predates rap.

      “Giving” is ballroom slang from like, the 80s.

      source
      • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Yeah but giving is seeing a surge, particularly as attitudes about LGBTQA shift

        source
    • johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think they’re saying “the ick” or something but that’s also pretty understandable by everyone.

    I seem to recall when they were translating “grunge” slang and it was also mostly bullshit didn’t actually use.

      Thought that was Alpha gen.

      source
      • kspatlas@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        It depends, it’s generally used by gen z to mock gen alpha, though some of the youngest genz do use it regularly

        source
    • DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ 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.
