Apparently these rules exist in my house also. Just today, my Gen Z kid forbade me from ever saying rizz or Ohio again. Luckily, I don’t live near Ohio, so I don’t need these words for any functional purpose. In particular, she told me that Ohio has been over for, like, a year and I’m out of date on slang.
What I always love about it is that it’s only outv of date in her age group social circles and it was out of date when she was using it too.
I need someone to use all of these in context. I can’t even begin to guess.
Skibidi - from a YouTube series made in source engine. Means “bad”
Sigma - alpha as in alpha male. Beta as in beta male. Sigma is a 3rd which means you follow neither alpha or beta but go your own way.
Rizz- short for “charisma”
Mewing - an act of contracting tongue /neck muscles to make your under chin area contract changing the shape of your jawline.
Gyatt - “god damn” - a big old butt.
Bet - “wanna bet?” Aka “yes”
Bussin - “busting” really good
Ohio - bad or mid “from Ohio”
Let him cook - let him do his thing. He’s got this.
Baddie - hottie. Sexy.
It’s the _ for me - pointing out the specific thing you enjoyed.
Well, guess I’m officially old since I only knew about three of those…
I have 4 kids, the only one I didn’t know was Ohio. Guess I’m down with it.
But then they changed what “it” was
You the man thanks!
Like in Monty Python, the list of banned words:
B#M
B#TTY
P#X
KN#CKERS
KN#CKERS
W##-W##
SEMPRINIYou forgot KN#CKERS
W#NKEL R#TARY #NGINE
Teaching the youth about freedom in the US.
I actually get it in an English class. You’re there to teach them vocab not let them crutch along on slang.
I think any teacher worth their salt can teach English and draw the parallels between modern vernacular. I would like to believe teachers can do both.
I’d even go so far as to call teachers who refuse to adapt to the change in “slang” lazy.
It’s not about adapting to change. It’s just as valid to tell a kid they can’t use “good” and “bad” in whatever they’re writing or discussing. The adaptation is understanding that those slang words essentially amount to the same things because that’s how kid’s slang works. You’re not conveying any rich meaning by repeating sigma over and over for whatever you think is good and mid for bad.
On that list the only complex idea is mewing, but the fact that it’s complex means the kids who didn’t understand it’s complexity have stripped it out. That’s because it’s not, in of itself, an actual slang term.
I disagree, I think the slang does convey rich meaning to the correct informal audience.
I would like to believe the slang is important code for another demographic that people can switch to.
As crazy as it may sound, I think depriving or deminishing the slang creates a divide culturally.
You’re mixing up kids slang with code switching. I don’t find them to be equivalent at all. That’s the greater point I was making. We use the word slang pretty broadly, but in kids it’s quite shallow. They rely heavily on context because they don’t really have the vocabulary to do otherwise.
Then I fundamentally disagree. I think slang is a form of code switching.
literally 1984
So… I can say “Let her cook”?
Skibidi !
Seems like one of those annoying strict teachers to me lol
I think you underestimate the increase in the difficulty of teachers jobs in the last 5 years. They’ve lost a lot of their ability to even teach due to internet parenting and brain rot.
Is Ohio slang for something I’m unaware of?
Supposedly something that is “bad” or “cringe” or “weird”
Ok, that’s great! I love the younger generations more and more each day
lol
So the same as skibidi?
Dull / boring / simple
Can you use it in a sentence with some other brainrot?
Absolute W poster
Sigma poster has mad rizz yo. It be bussin’
Is it possibly to simultaneously up and downvote a post?
Yo yo yo, let him cook.
To the left of this there’s a different list, “use more of these”
- DEI hire
- woke
- …
Edit - misunderstood what you were saying. I’m sorry for the aggression in my comment.
I wish y’all would be less cowardly and just say the n word
We’d honestly respect you more if you had a spine. Granted, we’d also finally be able to ban you, so… I guess you just know your audience. sigh
I think he was implying that the same people who would want a list like this banning words like these would support enforcing the use of the above terms
Gotcha. I think I can see that now. But it was a bit of a stretch for me. lol
Normally the people that use “DEI hire” or “woke” are making “fun” of people that use those terms and using it ironically or incorrectly but I guess I can see how ppl can think those terms have been accepted as positive to say on the right and negative on the left (tho I dont fully agree, I still use woke like I did 5 or so yrs ago even if it confuses some ppl)
Glad I held back on all the other stuff I wanted to say 😅 I definitely need to work on asking people what they mean first. It’s crazy how I didn’t think there was any other way of looking at this one. lol
Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I’ve been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.
Ok I’ll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.
I don’t know why people act like it’s bad to like a certain area. I enjoy it here. If people don’t, that’s fine. If they want to live somewhere else then I hope they can move to that place.
Whenever someone says state X is better than state Y, they’re saying X has things about it that they prefer. Once again this is fine, but there is no objective standard that one state is better than another (just like with countries – “America is the greatest country in the world is extremely cringe”).
Ohio is the worst state worth living in has always been my take
No way you’re better than Michigan…lmfao. what are u smoking cuz it’s not that legal weed.
Ohio fucking sucks.
We got legal weed as of last week. Not as good as MI prices tho.
I’ve only visited either state and Michigan had a HELLUVA lot more going for it. It’s not even remotely close.
And I Hate U of M. (I mean I hate the Buckeyes too, who calls themselves “THE” Ohio State? No on else wants to call themselves that shit.)
I think the “THE” is kind of stupid too, but it exists because the official name of the school is “The Ohio State University.”
The biggest tourist attraction in Michigan is the sand dunes. Litterly a pile of sand is all Michigan has to offer.
FYI we literally have legal weed in Ohio… Also I wouldn’t put legal weed at the top of my list personally, but you do you.
Michigan is the promised land for so many reasons
Have you lived outside of Ohio?
I’ve been to well over 30 states (it’s been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year
I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren’t known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we’re balanced enough to be a swing state
Ohio might be mid, but that isn’t always a bad thing
Sounds like you’re infected with the Ohio mind virus.
It’s Ohios all the way down
It spreads around easier now that we don’t burn the rivers like we used to
Touch Ocean
Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate?
True: it is honestly not that bad that you don’t understand the hate. Hate isn’t a good thing to understand.
It’s an acquired taste I think. I lived in South Carolina for 2.5 years and much prefer Ohio.
It’s not appallingly bad as the average deep-south state, I would hesitate to call Ohio “good” though.
Charleston is legitimately the only redeeming part of the US South between Richmond and New Orleans though. Atlanta is… Just OK.
Well I mean everybody knows that there’s no such thing as Ohio. Kind of like the Netherlands or New Zealand. Totally fictitious.
seahorse w/ the skibidi Ohio rizz is in shambles over here
I mean sometimes I curse this state.
Only sometimes?
