GenX here. Kids enjoying doing kid things even if we don't understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You're doing fine. No cap.
- she freak on my gyatt till I baby gronk
  
  Damn I bet she hit you with that hawk ptui fr fr.
  
  Is this true?
- For riz.
  Am i doing it right?
  
  I... I don't know. I DON'T KNOW !

I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.
If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said 'flush.'
I miss the toilet game haha
- When we played it you also had to go down on one knee, and the person unfreezing you had to sit on your knee while they flushed your arm.

I actually love these new slangs! Based.
- Lit FR FR

The emotional damage of simultaneously realising that you are old and understanding all the people you laughed at for yelling "get off my lawn"

How would one rizz someone else? Basically, what is rizzing?
- rizzing is effectively flirting with someone. and I don't mean like "it has the effect of flirting" I mean you flirt with someone, and it's being effective.
  
  Aka abbreviated "charisma."
- Don't ask the children, they don't know either

- And is "mew" just making a cat noise or something more?
  
  A technique attributed to a British orthodontist named Mike Mew that involves putting pressure on the roof of your mouth with your tongue to try and change the shape of your face by moving your maxilla up and forwards with the lateral pressure of your tongue. This fits into the broader looksmax approach to self-modification in the name of love and romance.

  you do it so you can mog
- Outside of tag (I guess), it's like chatting someone up.
  
  So to unfreeze them they’d have to like, “How you doin?”

Thats not even what it means.

STOP!
STOP, UPON ME!
FORCE THE TOOLS AVAILABLE!
YES... I'M ALRIGHT...!
BWA HAHA HAHA HAHA...!

Even had some mewing going in the break room at work last night

And kids at the Catholic school play jizz tag.

What's everyone's take on mewing?
It seems to make sense to me.
I've seen others say it's bullshit.
I started doing it periodically a few weeks ago, and I just had an oral bone spur break through my gums from a tooth extraction I had over ten years ago.
So it makes me think the mewing changed something in my lower jaw enough for some fragments of bone to come loose and make their way out.

Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.
- Let's start with you then.
  
  Done. I don't have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.
  In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn't be.
- I do not see the connection between kids using slang and illiteracy. I’m guessing you never use(d) any yourself?
  Also good luck prohibiting kids from the internet lol clearly someone doesn’t have kids!
  
  Their parents give them devices so they don't have to deal with them. That's how this slang spreads to them. Do you think 6-10 year olds devoloped "mew?" It was grown ass "influencers" and it spread through media.
- Do you mean half of the world's children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?
  Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.
  
  Literacy, in my country, which is specified because it is the origin of the slang in the meme. You really thought you had a gotcha, there, didn't you?
- "Kids can't read" is certainly a take. 😂
- If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.
