So fun story. I'm from a small island in the North Atlantic, population around 500k. The word "skeet" as slang has a completely different definition there. It referred to PEOPLE. Essentially poor sketchy people who would hang around bus stations or downtown. Essentially the Newfoundland version of the British "chav". It's still what I think of when I hear the word skeet, not the other thing. 😜

See, in Australia, goon is slang for cheap cask wine. If I saw “goon cave” spray painted on the shed, I’d think they were hooking into the goon or using the rotary clothes line to play ‘goon of fortune’ when I wasn’t around. Which I’d still be having words with them about.

That's also classic Goon of Fortune weather. Who in their right minds drinks chilled Goon of of a beverage receptacle? Goon is to be served at the ambient temperature (preferably >30oC) by having tappies. (I went to Uni in "regional NSW". Just typing this made me feel queasy.)

My 7 year old saw videos about "mewing" on YouTube Kids. The app just for kids. And that Sigma shit. They're trying to get their hooks in my child when she just wants to see funny videos of dancing and cartoons. half these other words I don't know. but I put the smack down on that video. reported. blocked. who is it that wants to push this type of shit on children?

As a parent of teens and a college professor, I think this generation of slang is both stupid and hilarious. Recently I had a conversation with a student that had been missing some class and he told me he just was a little behind and needed to “lock in”. My first instinct was to tell him “…and start your winter arc?” Usually, I hear these things from my kids, and then spend the better part of a month trying to use/overuse them around the house in casual conversation…bonus points if it is slightly incorrect/forced and I get audible groans.

Some of the terms are due to content filtering on social media. Sewercide, grape, unalived and corn are a few. Blame the content filters for some. It's annoying for sure.

I feel like I understand the slang better than younger millennials and older Zs. Is that sort of a trend for our cohort? It also seems like more of the xennials I know are understanding vs bewildered. We had a ton of slang growing up ourselves. Dunno why. Could be because I'm making an effort to parse it because I hate feeling like I can't understand the kids.

The years are long when you’re young. I’m 42 and the difference between 4th and 6th grade was far greater than 30 to 40. Slang cycles through a full life cycle with kids I assume in a matter of months. Our discussion of anything is an archeological dig looking at fossils going “this part must have been used for this..”

"Unalive" just makes life sound like a phase before some next phase, some spirit phase that doesn't exist. Death is death! Suicide is horrible and needs to sound horrible. Murder/Killed/Died are tragic things and need to sound tragic. "Unalive" is something you say to a 5 year old that wouldn't understand the complexity of death. Saying "unalived" just sounds like something Orwell would've made up in "1984", as if akin to being "unpersoned".

I honestly don't know why every generation seems so afraid of slang. We all had it. It's hastened greatly by social media, but this is how languages change and develop, and if it didn't, we would basically all be speaking Proto Sinaitic or Proto Indo-European.

Unalived is the most cringeworthy thing that came out of Gen Z. Just say killed, or dead, or dying. It's the same thing and not more offensive. I'm glad I grew up with humor like Monty Python and not the lame language that the younger people use today.

I seem to remember this line getting crossed when "on fleek" was *de rigueur* circa 2016/17 (iirc). Europe was at peace at the time, the economy was relatively boomin', and we all we all wore onions on our belts back then...

please don't do this. you look like a boomer. there's literally an old woman in the middle of this meme, and that's you. this is how younger generations talk, just like how we used slang which upset our parents because they didn't get it either and there were new words every few months they had to decipher. language is behaving as it's supposed to so just let it happen.

Some of these are born of necessity of social media cracking down on certain words (Unalived, graped, and sewerslide), some of them are created to describe someone's experience with either gender identity or gender presentation (femboy), some are AAVE (cooked), and some are legit just brain rot words for the sake of brain rot words.

A lot of that stuff has been around like mewing is from the 70s, sigma and femboy from the 2010s. Gen z rarely creates new but knows how to shop from the past to make things iconic and relevant for their generation.
