    If this list was done for my class back when I was in school, realistically it’d just be slurs

      Damn, you are probably right. Maybe this generation isn’t so doomed after all.

        Much to do is always made of the kids personally I’m undecided. I have a feeling that they might go hard left after the formative experiences are Christmas being ruined by the right winger in the White House

      Gen A / Z slang is objectively cooler than this 😞

      • Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Some of this was Gen Z slang. Like ROFLcopter. Early Gen Z was part of the stuff like Gay Luigi, the troll song, nyan cat, yeeee, rick rolling, swag, 360 no scope mlg, etc

      Had to look this up: www.tiktok.com/…/7440554144097668395?lang=en

      Seems like Darius is a guy with autism that makes noises on TikTok. His caretaker (mother?) seems to think it’s healthy to express himself and let off energy.

  • FrChazzz@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.

    Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.

      Wait until you learn how seriously law enforcement took street gangs.

      The whole Saints Row series was based on the dichotomy between incorrigible feral teens, a product of hands-off parenting while simultaneously running an international drug and crime syndicate

      Of note is the property of ur-fascism the enemy [of the movement] is simultaneously strong and weak

  • KoboldCoterie@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Ohio being on the list is pretty funny (assuming this is in the US). Going to make geography and history classes awkward.

    What grade is this, that Edging and Goon were common enough terms that they had to be included here?

    “Animal noises” is very broad. Furry persecution. :(

    The fact that they lose “LiveSchool points”, whatever those are, presumably for saying these words, is almost worse than the fact that they have this list at all. I don’t know what that system is or how it works, but I already hate it.

    source
    • fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s probably some fast she discipline system. The way we treat kids in schools is horrific, has been for quite a while though but they feel entitled to subject kids to whatever technological Horrors they can come up with

      source
  • Broadfern@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥

    source
    • wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      As a teacher, I cannot tell you how much this changed my life. I just spew their random shit right at them, totally straight-faced, with a painful degree of enunciation. They do not say those words again in my presence. Their cringe feeds me. I also find it helpful to try to get them to define each term, in excruciating detail, then I destroy the word for them.

  • napkin2020@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The best way to make sure everyone is saying those words is to ban them lol

    source
    • Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      And best way to make them stop being used, is using them completely wrong and with the “i am hip with the teens” attitude

      source
      • rbamgnxl5@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        This works so very well. Turn them from fun to cringe with one irritating parent move.

        I threatened to get a Sigma Dad tshirt and wear it to my son’s school. He’s since stopped with all the sigma stuff.

        It’s a slippery slope between saying something ironically and having it become part of your lexicon.

        source
  • vk6flab@lemmy.radio ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I get the sense that this list is constantly growing and acts as an incentive to invent new words that end up on the list.

    By that measure, Emma is a rockstar and Darius is being bullied by their classmates and the teacher.

      What does fein mean? Is it just shortened feign?

      source
      • spicehoarder@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Fein comes from the Travis Scott song Fe!N. While it is a synonym of “addict”, Travis uses it more as a musical refrain. The repeated and somewhat goofy intonation of the repeated phrase is what lead to the memification of this slang word. When using “fein”, it can be used like any other nonsensical filler word.

    As an elder gen Z I can assure you that the list of banned things in my class circa 2015 was somehow worse. Just off the top of my head.

    SpongeBob laugh WW2 Propaganda (Just cause it’s historical doesn’t make it not pornography vaultdweller013) Any discussion of the killdozer Bulldozer noises Tank noises (You will all make annoying lawyers) Kazoos are not longer allowed Compressed air canisters are banned especially if you have a whistle and duck tape Arma is not allowed to be watched on computer property Soviet national anthem Russian national anthem State anthem of Mississippi Djibouti National anthem Sakkinarven Polka

    Those are just the ones I remember, I am the direct source of at least half of them.

    source
    • Hobo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      They changed the state anthem of Mississippi a couple of years ago from Go Mississippi to One Mississippi. It’s no longer contextually hilarious and not nearly as hoki. I guess Mississippi decided they were not on the right track and probably were never going to get to the top after all.

      source
      • vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Shame the old one is pretty unique, frankly if anyone needs an update it’s us Californians. But we are also a somewhat lazy bunch and would probably just make California Dreamin the new anthem. Either that or the committee would let their insanity take hold and ya would end up with something reminiscing a Latin war cant.

        My mom is the one who got me into gaming, especially my love for JRPGs as she has played FFVI through FFXIII. She has told me several times how much she hates Cactuar because of the thousand needle attack or whatever.

        Unfortunately the backlog of games is so high that I haven’t played a FF game besides 15 (which was ass lol). But I do wanna play the FFVII and FFX remakes real bad. I think her favorite is one of those two, don’t remember which.
