I’m old enough to experience slang which isn’t native to my generation. But let me just say, this current generations slang is the shittest in a long time.
Previous gen slang (fam, lit, yeet) was a 6/10
Current gen slang (frfr, no cap, rizz) is 2/10
Next gen has such a low bar to beat, it’ll be hard for them to fuck this up.

Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.
It was a misspelling of “Owned” in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.
“Player 1 was pwned.”
For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Sounds like you got pwned, noob.
Naz@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.
However, it belongs to you all now!
Be free
And get rekt :p

Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.

… I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking but since it’s Lemmy I want to think you’re serious and that’s pretty fucking cool if it is, bud

Naz@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Are you kidding me? No way. You can’t trademark a word or a typo. That’s dumb.
Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage

As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Yeet and yoink are perfection.
Kedly@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Especially with how you pronounce yeet, I cannot think of another English word that is as fun to say
KammicRelief@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”
Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
Kedly@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
gimpchrist@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah once I learned Rizz is just charisma I wasn’t so mad
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 8 months ago
Rizz? Can we just send that word back to hell already?
Kedly@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a “MUH BAWLZ” Joke

Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.

I’m a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old “pogs”. Damn what a weird fad.

Still use gnarly. Get fucked, I’m never giving it up. Over my dead body

Rad
root_beer@midwest.social 8 months ago
I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it
JayObey711@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.

Right now, “huge” is popping up a lot.

I accidentally used Pog in real live when a girl that I’ve grown really close to told me about her having a boyfriend.
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven’t heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I’m old and a couple of them have “no cap” on jackets so I can’t imagine that’s a fresh one.

“No Cap” is Black slang. It’s not done until Black People replace it with something else.

Pwn should be a few steps back
somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Pwn, pwned was so specific to gaming it shouldn’t even be on the list.
fushuan@lemm.ee 8 months ago
And pog is specific to twitch in the gaming sphere, so the same logic would apply.
Ottomateeverything@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Glad I’m not the only one… The hell is it doing after epic?

Should be “let’s go” then “no cap”
