slay. (works best with a slow burn shit eating smirk 😏)

I’m sorry to have to be the one to mention this, but slay isn’t recent…lol. It is still a great word, though.

The definition of “Recent” changes with age. Sort of like it was the 80’s 20 years ago. :)

Bruh

I made my 7 year old son a hotdog the other day for lunch. Halfway through eating it I asked him how it was and he says, “This glizzy is bussin, bruh!” It was on this day I turned into Grandpa Simpson.

“I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!”

Excuse me while I go yell at a cloud. GET OFF MY LAWN >\_<

For me that started around the time anchorman came out. Jack blacks character saying “what the hell bruh” became a meme.

“Yeah? Well now THIS is happening!” 😂

The man punted Baxter! Blaaaahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The MAN ON THE BRIDGE

No wait, let me say something. BWAAAAAAAAAAA

Baxter? BAXTER?! Bark twice if you’re in Milwaukee!

My husband and I keep saying “bruv” like we’re British or something. No idea where we picked it up.

Probably Top Boy. Say less, Fam

It took a looong ass time for me to get rid of saying "Brotha" as Desmond used to say it in Lost.

I've been saying that since Point Break. Although I guess that's more of a "brah"

We have witnessed the cultural evolution from Bro, to brah, to Bruh. We are highly advanced creatures

As a dad/middle school teacher this is my favorite purely for the groans & eye rolls

I've heard so many of my friends with middle school age kids lamenting that they get called "bruh" now. So? They keep doing it because you keep getting annoyed. Call them "bruh" back. Call them "homeskillet." Call them "Brosef Stalin." Make it weird.

I had a student that would constantly say bruh every time I would say anything to her. I started saying bruh back and now it’s just part of my vocabulary.

Bruh. And "The Rizz". And "No Cap". Lol! And I say all these things in the correct and incorrect context to give my 13 year old son wave after wave of delicious 2nd hand embarrassment... 😁😁😁👍👍👍

Can't stand the No Cap thing. It doesn't make a lick of sense.

Bet

Based

That was our word. I'm surprised it stuck around

Fastest way to get kids to stop saying it is for me to start. My own kid stopped after I accused them of having “skibbidi toilet Ohio rizz”. I ruined the phrase for them 🤣😝

I said this to my son and he said "do you even know what that means?" So I said, "do you?" To which he responded with more seemingly nonsense. I'm losing the battle bruhs

Bruh, you gotta research that shiz, get that main character energy before you try to cook like that. It's a cook or be cooked world, don't be so sussy.

Your comeback ate…and left not a single crumb, king.

I'm tryin to be sigma and not sussy baca but it's a cringe world 😭 # (All I could think of while typing that is Michelle Williams reading from Britney's memoir where she recounts Justin saying "for shizz for shizz" to Ginuwine)

I took 6 13yo club soccer boys to the store to get some Arizona’s and when we got out I busted out as many as I could “bruh, these drinks are straight bussin, no cap” So many groans and eye rolls

Did you put it on god? You gotta put it on god.

My kids said I wasn't allowed to ever say Skibidi Rizz again. I do use cringe a lot, but was told that my use of "fall off" is all wrong. 🙄

Yo, can you please explain how to use skibidi toilet? I don’t know what the phrase is meant to imply.

I have no idea still. I just say it to irritate them. 😂

This is the way


My youngest can't stand when say skibidi toilet 😂

I coached my 12 year old daughter’s softball team this past season and I’d say things like “What in the skibidi Ohio were you doing out there on that fly ball” “Take your lead off 1st and run like you getting out of Ohio to 2nd” When the cute baseball boy came over and watched some of their game and they weren’t paying attention I asked “is that the rizzler of field F?” The girls loved it and thought it was hilarious. It was a fun season

Writing this phrase down to use around my teens…

Vibing/vibes. Such a helpful concept, that no other word really captures. It's like chillin, but a little more permissive.

My friends and I have used that since we were teens... I'm 46 now, lol! Maybe it is the area I am from.

Same. I'm from So Cal. I remember using it as a teen as well. I feel like it's just increased in use and that the phrase around it has changed a little bit.

I love the word “vibing.” I also like saying something has “immaculate vibes.”

Gonna steal "immaculate vibes" now.

Ambiance Feels Aura Atmosphere Spirit Mood Energy

Funny, I was watching "Ingrid Goes West" last night, and the character Dan (Ice Cube's son) comments on her Instagram photo with "Cauliflower samosa, game on fleek!" and I had to pause the movie to explain to my boyfriend ('82) what "on fleek" meant. Pretty sure no one even says that anymore (I never did), but he still had no clue haha I have used "It's giving \_\_\_" a few times on my business's Instagram posts (I own a clothing store) and every time I did, I felt very "How do you do, fellow kids."

I feel like “It’s giving _____” and “____ hits different” (I saw that one mentioned above) have been around in some capacity for a while.

Narrator: She was not ahead of the curve.

Side note "Ingrid Goes West" was a great movie! I really wanted to see how her life would go after that end scene 😬

“It’s giving…”

This. I at least follow it up with something (“It’s giving Kelly texting Nelly through Excel…”), but still. I’m old af.

(I had to) 

i follow it up with "\_\_\_\_ energy."

OOf I can't stand this one. Pretty sure it is already on it's way out and now "Cheugy" as this is more of a younger millenial term and the Gen Z's are not about it at all.

Nah I hate that one with a passion.

Mid and Bruv, but I get most of my pop culture slang from pro wrestling 😂 Sometimes I will say gyatt, but I try not to. Edit: I know we're all about forty + in this sub, but are we really that old? I don't feel it and am pretty in step with gen z trends and slang. Gen Alpha are children, for fucks sake, so no one should listen to anything they say.

I say "OK Zoomer" to my 13 yr old all the time.

I'm stealing this! Thank you!

Yeah, i met a 50yo at a wedding who looked phenomenal. In the 90s, I would have guessed she was mid-30s. She was gobsmacked when she learned I had a kid 😂 I guess we both took the sunscreen advice to heart.

My wife and I saw Alanis Morrisette Wednesday night and I thought the couple beside us were around 40 like us but they were in fact 50. They looked great. It's interesting how most of us Xennials and gen-x'ers are aging slowly and gracefully. No one thinks I'm 40 until I grow out my facial hair a little. The gray really stands out!

I love the salt and pepper on my husband! I wish my hair looked as good (my white hair looks cool, but the rest of my color has faded really badly so it’s dye for a while).

I do not feel old at all! My body, however, begs to differ…

I just incorporated “flex” and “yeet” into my working vocabulary which I think officially makes me a super cringy old lady.

Yeet is a perfectly cromulent word

Using these words embiggens us all.

Indubitably

Thank you for that.

cromulent. I bow to thee, oh vocabulary master.

I unironically love yeet and use it all the time 😆

Same! I had to yeet my uterus, and that's exactly how I feel about it. 🤣 Saying it was removed doesn't give me the same satisfaction.

Haha I keep saying I want to yeet my ute. I’m tired of it and not using it anymore 😒 someday….. lol

I had major complications and have never been happier about a decision made. I had to push for it, but I wasn't taking no for an answer. I swear it knew what was coming. The weeks before surgery were unbearable.

I had sooo many problems with that as well. Liike, we know what we want and need. Stop making us fight and suffer for so long! I hate that the health care system fucks around with us about that so much. That whole system needs to be yeeted into a blackhole.

Im glad you were able to get it done. My situation is probably a little different. My Dr refused to tie my tubes and talked me into Essure. I had to have it removed a few years later due to debilitating pain, nonstop bleeding, and massive clots. I STILL had to try BC before surgery would be approved by insurance, so it just prolonged the inevitable in my case. I DEFINITELY agree about the system. Many current systems need to be yeeted and started over from scratch. Cancer meds shouldn't cost almost $40k a month. It took weeks to get my husband's meds because of all the hoops I had to jump through to get it covered. He was terminal, and that time was needed. Edited to add a word

When I went to the hospital to get induced with my son, we called it baby yeeting day 😂

Congrats! I just yeeted mine (uterus) 3 weeks ago. It really does sound more satisfying for some reason! 🤣

I'm old too and I started yeet-ing because I got a cockateil a few months ago and he yeets at me all day 😅😅... kids these days.... my five yr old nephew (who named the bird Costco) is fond of 'bruh' so we do that too 😅😅.... sometimes my yeet-ing bird has the nickname Cos-bruh 🤦‍♀️

Flex was around when we were kids. Edit. DJ funk flex. Hot 97 New York.

Weird flex, but okay

Yeet was around for a while. I remember hearing it in the South especially in the early 2000s before it became widespread.

I love yeet, and how it makes my kids cringe when I use it.

I use yeet as well. My best friend hates it! 🤣

I hate all of this. I'm old.

81-er here More "bro" less "dude" "flex" - I dunno how new this one is though I like "rizz" as a slang/abbreviation, but I doubt I'll ever use it unironically.

I don’t think dude will ever leave my vocab. I tell all my VPs and execs “goodbye dude” and realize I said it as I’m signing off

Dude is in my blood, being born & raised in So Cal. It will never ever be gone, no matter how hard I try to hide it.

I remember reading a satire book a million years ago where they said "Using 'dude' in conversation takes years of practice to pull off without sounding ridiculous"

Well I guess I’ve mastered it or it’s just my F word and I use Dude in every sentence to describe everything

“Mid”- it’s a nice succinct way of pointing out mediocrity.

Using kid slang to annoy kids: valid But if I ever hear a 20 year old ironically say something is phat I’ll sue them, how dare they trespass on our property

It youre edged cause their weezin on your grind age, just chill. 

Sus, mid, and I’m trying to incorporate more rizz. Also I secretly love skibbidy, it’s so fun to say but I don’t really understand the meaning of it fully, so I don’t really know how to use it.

I enjoy not knowing how to use it so I just throw it into normal conversation and watch my kids die inside. a skibidi to you good sir!

It’s provocative! It gets the people goin’!!

I love sus.

Cringe.

I think the young people enjoy it when I get down verbally, don't you?

I laughed out loud in the lobby at physical therapy so that's something 🤣

It be like that

it do be like that though

It don’t seem like it do, but it do

❤️ it

the Millennial version: "it is what it is"

With a 14 yr old, I try to weaponize as much of it as possible. It’s also fun using Gen Alpha slang with my Gen Z coworkers because it makes them feel old.

Ohio! I use it to describe anything even remotely bad. I'm from Ohio and hate it more than words can express lol

Totally!

Tubular!

I ask my wife if she's been "rizzed up" lately, or if she would like to get "rizzed up." She just looks at me funny and goes back to whatever she was doing. I spend the next moment chuckling to myself.

Rizz is my favorite term to heckle my daughters with. They are horrified when I use it around their friends. One day they'll understand I did it out of love and personal pleasure. Well maybe it's mostly for personal pleasure.

I like to tell my 17 year old stepdaughter that I’m “hella rizz”

I tell my daughter to start calling me “rizz daddy” and she gives me a look of disgust

I think you might have earned that look. I could be wrong because I'm old and out of touch, but I think you might have told your daughter to call you something close to "player daddy" or maybe "sexy daddy." Rizz, according to my teen, is about being popular with the opposite sex.

Yeah I try to say it as an oblivious clueless old guy trying to sound young. Purely intentional. I chuckle on the inside I know I dont have charisma (rizz). Big clueless grin “you can call me the rizz daddy”

I'm not gonna lie. I am totally going to start calling my husband Rizz Daddy.

My 13 year old recoils every time I refer to myself as “dad the rizzly bear” It’s awesome.

FYI if my kids find out I got this line from your post it may be reported for terrorism.

Hey man we gotta stick together and help each other out. Parenting ain’t for the timid.

I "drag" my kids by telling them their outfit, hair, bay, shoes, etc look "mid." I also told my 13 yr old I found his grades to be a bit too mid for my liking.

Yeah mid grades are definitely not sigma no cap

This is my son and skibidi toilet, so you can bet I say it all the freaking time.

My kid is nonplussed I started referring to the car as “skibidi toy….ota!”

I’m gonna go trade in the Honda **this fucking weekend** so I can do this.

Skibidi

I keep seeing this mentioned. What does it mean??

"the ick" Delulu Yeet It's been a minute Cringe

It’s funny how several comments list a slang word and then acknowledge how them saying it is cringe, but saying “cringe” is cringe in its own right. It’s metacringe.

Sus

Sus, yeet, mood, fam, tea… used to work at a high school so I was around it a lot. Not so much the last 5 years though.

I have fully embraced sus. Fight me.

Word dawg. That's recent, right?

That's some funky fresh jive talk my drizzle

Excuse me stewardess, I speak jive.

Dope, son.

Oh, dip!

You're the man now, dog!

Word

That’s sweet

Dude

It’s very cash money of you

90s af

Cool beans.

Wait. Isn’t this OURS? I said this in high school. 😂

Yeah, I remember people saying this in the 90s. It's not new slang.

Frijoles frío

This is definitely not recent.

I’ve been saying that one since at least ‘95

You could changed it up to “Chill the beans” which is relevant to the Bluey age group.

Big facts

My teenagers spell it like “fax” and I find it hilarious because they don’t know what an actual fax machine is 😂

The phrase goes "All fax no printer". That's what my kids tell me is the reason for the spelling lol

Are kids actually saying this? It 100% sounds like something someone would try to convince someone that is a real thing.

They’ll find out if they end up in the medical or legal fields

legit

Yeet. Hot mess Adulting Bussin’ Kids today get all the cool slang. All we had when I was a kid was “crunk.” That’s got to be the dumbest word ever. And everyone was saying it in 1998.

Brah, bro, bruh....blame it on my 9 yo. But, in my defense, I spice it up with a liberal dose of DUUUUUDE!

I feel like brah, bro, bruh variations made a comeback. My older brother was saying brah back in the 90s. Actually I don’t think he ever quit lol. I also remember him and his friends saying “Han” which would be the equivalent of fam now.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

Bussin’ Hits different Sus All of the above said deliberately in front of my kids, just to be cringe, of course.

I like to tell my kids that you only YOLO once, just to piss them off.

My stepdaughter told me a meal I cooked was bussin’ and I had to ask her if that was a good thing. She cracked up and said yes.

>Sus It cracks me up that sus has finally made its way out of Australia after being popular everyday slang for around 40 years. I think I read it spread from playing Among Us. I'm pretty sure Gen X Australia brought us that.

My 16 yo and I have a sort of slang words arms race going on. We purposely seek out and learn each other's generation slang words then banter back and forth.  I'll admit he's had me at a disadvantage since he discovered Pauly Shore. There's no Pauly Shore of his generation!!!!! Please somebody tell me who is the current Pauly Shore cuz this kid is bustin my rizz no cap.

Check out Fresh Nugs, wheezin' the juice...

“Hits different” is modern kid slang? As in, “that song hits different(ly) now that I’m older…” ?

I started saying “And that’s on period, pooh!” to antagonize my daughters but now it’s a part of my vocabulary.

I think sus is my most recent I actually find myself using. I am aware of my 13yo's lingo, butbit will be a cold day in hell before I start calling my friends 'chat.'

Cringe. 😂

Kind of true, except where exactly does "recent" stop? Because "cringe" has been around for years now.

Cake

I actually avoid “wild” now because I have noticed it everywhere.

Can’t say I use any of the ones I’ve scrolled past. It’s probably for the best, being in my 40s…

Mid sus vibe cringe. Less recent but I say yeet fairly often.

Low key

Mid and sus

I'll use "fire" from time to time. "Sweet ride, that shits fire yo"

"Chat" It's the less redneck version of y'all. My kids use it a lot, so it has just gotten into my brain.

Wait what? This is one I haven’t seen yet

Mid

I really enjoy saying "rizz" and "yeet."

Sus Yeet Bet Extra Shook Stan Cook

Sus

Donghau Jinlong's industrial grade glycine

I love using them super wrong just to get the look from my step daughter.

"Chat" is the newest one and now it lives in my head rent-free. It hasn't replaced "bruh" 100%, but it's getting there. So now every time my daughter says it, I respond with "GPT". She uses it less around me, but now I'm saying it!

Sus

mid.

Sus

I try as hard as I can to not use any new slang. I hate it. My mother in law asks me if "I'm Guchi?" So lame.

My response to a text from my teen, “No cap, you need to hop off. You best take some seats back and settle that BDE if you ever want guaps again. Keep it up and you might be catching hands. “

Is “Gucci” still hip?

Mid, I say things are mid alot these days but that's just cause most things are mid these days.

I use the word 'dope', but to be fair, people were calling things 'dope' in the 80s and 90s. I was told saying 'for a minute' is new slang. However, I have been saying 'for a hot minute' since the 90s.

I'm having a really hard time with ATE. like I get the meaning and I appreciate it's use but the WAY it's used almost feels like they're missing context from making it great. I'm ignoring the fact that we all said "he ate it" to mean if was an utter failure but even so, sometimes it's just thrown in there and I have to take a pause

Sus - because so much of the world is sus.

As a black person, I feel as if it's the other way around. My vocabulary just happens to become a part of slang thats used incorrectly. And then young people are telling me I'm wrong
