“Banned Words” (or “Do I need a Gen Alpha -> GenX translation dictionary?”)

[-]

FAx32@reddit

Every generation has had slang. Some of it makes its way into general language use. Some of it sticks with that generation where they remember what they meant when they said this as a kid or teen but nobody uses it anymore. Much of it dies.

It tends to annoy adults which makes it even more fun to use, at least that is how I remember it.

[-]

SpecialOil6869@reddit

If you want people to stop using generational slang, just get everyone over 50 to start using it. That'll be the end of skibidi rizz in about 10 seconds. Banning it or making it a big deal just makes them do it more.

[-]

FAx32@reddit

Yep. It bugs my nephew something fierce when I do it. Kinda funny, but cringe to him.

[-]

burjja@reddit

I feel like that has already happened to most of the words on that sign. I think it was the backlash to 67 that led to adults taking the advice you are giving.

[-]

cockblockedbydestiny@reddit

Much of it dies.

Which is by design. A major driver of new slang has always been reinforcing an in-group of the cool kids. Once the slang disseminates to where even the uncool kids (or, god forbid, parents!) are commonly throwing them around then the in-group stops using them and - in most cases - anyone still caught using them after that point are considered lame and behind the times.

GenX-ModTeam@reddit

Pertinence to GenX - Posts may be removed if they are not pertinent to Generation X in a specific way.

This includes non-specific ramblings, any sort of conspiracy theories that have nothing to do with GenX, or posts about people who happen to be GenX….and that’s it.

AI videos or articles MUST have the proper flair identifying the content as AI.

Just because an article or video mentions Generation X does not automatically make it pertinent. Moderators will make this determination at their discretion.

SgtBearPatrol@reddit

Speaking as the parent of a 13-year-old: If you really want to feel out of touch, these words are not remotely cool any more and haven’t been for a year. They were replaced briefly last summer with Italian Brainrot but that faded, too. Even 6/7 is stale.

[-]

No_Programmer6374@reddit

The whole point of youth slang is that the adults don’t get it. It’s why we misused wicked and radical and why none of our parents knew what we were talking about with their friends, and why their parents didn’t understand "having a gas" or "jonesing", and so on to the dawn of time.

It’s fine, it was fine then, it is fine now, it will be fine when today’s youth is baffled by their kid’s slang.

[-]

cockblockedbydestiny@reddit

We had our fair share of slang, sure, but we didn't have the internet to propagate it quickly enough to have basically a new word you were supposed to know every other day. The volume of new slang has never been higher than it is right now.

But yeah, everything but the volume is pretty much a direct lineage of the same function, which was making up new words to suss out who were the cool kids and who were the outcasts.

[-]

graylocus@reddit

Agree. Languages change over time, particularly through the addition of new words and concepts. We need to embrace the new words, even if we don't understand them or won't use them.

Michiganders don’t get fired up about Ohio like Ohio…ans get fired up about Michigan.

As far as OP’s question - each generation has its thing, they don’t have to use our slang. I’m as pedantic as the next person when it comes to written language, but banning spoken words seems a bit much.

The only reason I’m familiar with those terms is that I am an elementary/middle school educator.

It means stealing a portion of someone’s food. It came from a Streamer named Fanum raiding another streamer Kai Cenant’s room and taking his food. Though “fanum” in the streets means “folks and enemies”.

These are harmless words. They’re not curse words. This sign simply shows that the administration of the building is generationally out of touch

I'm just saying it's embarrassing that an adult doesn't know when the First Amendment does or does not apply.

PuffDiesel1138@reddit

The first thing I noticed that made me laugh hysterically is that, on a sign about proper language and grammar, they use incorrect language and grammar. It should be "speak properly" not "talk". LOL

Of course, being a childless GenXer, I only know one, maybe 2 of these so I dropped the image into AI and simply asked what the banned words meant. I got an even better answer than expected. Here is the verbatim response, including the additional insight at the end (the italic and bold formatting choices were mine). Even AI understands how ridiculous most of these are:

Skibidi: nonsense word from Skibidi Toilet memes (absurd/toilet humor).
Sigma: lone wolf "alpha" male, independent/cool.
Rizz: charisma/flirting skill.
Gyatt: exclamation for big butt ("goddamn").
Ohio: weird/crazy place (meme for chaotic stuff).
Fanum tax: stealing food from friends (from streamer Fanum).
Sus: suspicious.
Griddy: dance move (from football).
1,2 buckle my shoe: nursery rhyme turned TikTok meme (often ironic).
Mewing: jawline exercise (tongue on roof of mouth).
Suiiiii: Ronaldo's "Siuuu" goal celebration shout (means "yes!").

All brainrot/gen alpha slang.

Bet the person that posted this sign also hates people talking in a foreign language around them because they are afraid they are being talked about.
