"Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day

I'm old and "cooking" was old when I was young.

So will be "squeezin the juice", just think about that one

What's cooking?

I’m old so no idea but I would guess like “let him cook”
https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-does-let-him-cook-mean-the-slang-phrase-and-its-memes-explained

Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?

Sorry, but you ain't all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.

They already are.

Source: I’m old and I can use all those words correctly.

Yea but when old people now use it, it's an oddity. I think OP means when old men in general are talking about Razz and Skibity outhouse.

They are already getting there. Hearing forty year olds say it means kids are now stopping saying it.

Wazzuppppp, fellow youths!
- I hear more millennial YouTubers using this language than I do highschoolers.

By that time language may be unrecognizable by those of you still around

I heard this thing that humans are tribal creatures and in any group, family, friend etc, they will invariably develop their own language, and they didn't mention it but generationally specify slang is so much more beautiful when viewed through that lens. So even if it's an old person thing, for those of us privileged to be able to stay on this earth that long, it will still be your tribes language and you will feel at home saying it. And that's all that matters.

No cap

My 34 year-old brother says "rats!" when something bad happens. He learned from our grandpa.

Oooh, I like that, I'm terrified of rats, so that would be a great replacement, for the usual word, when around kids, too.

One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
- A relatable situation; when my kid can read a little better I mean to very enthusiastically introduce them to it.
  Though honestly they might enjoy the beautiful artwork without bothering to read. Or it might encourage them to practice. Hmm.

And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.

I'm surprised I've never seen a kid named Atreyu.
- They exist. Don’t think I’ve ever met one either.

Jst lk ppl used 2 txt, amirite

Oh the t9 era of texting, I miss d tym wen t9 ws d nly optn

I'm cooking spaghetti for dinner tonight. Yes, I'm old.

Who has a problem with spaghetti?
- GenZ HATES spaghettis because their not WOKE like "bucatini" or "far fale"

You don't say!

they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all

What is "bop"? Are bop-its popular on TikTok?
- A song that is good, or goes hard.
Nothing is new under the sun.
I heard that once in a bible class and it's stuck with me ever since. And imo it beautifully encapsulates humanity's trends and fads.
Language is an ever-evolving thing, but at the same time, how many variations of something can be made before we've made all of them? Humanity has been around for thousands of years; I find it hard to believe that just about any word we could come up with is actually brand new and no other human has heard it before.
How is rizz not new? I've never seen it until tiktok.
- Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It's just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes
- I've heard it plenty, california

They already are, as people on here know them. Also “cooking” just seems to be shorthand for “cooking with gas”, with the same connotations and meaning, and boomers are definitely saying that.

I'm a partial to "cooking with grease" just cause it's different.
- I like to say "cooking with magnets" because 1) it sounds cooler and 2) when people look at me weird I can immediately launch into my spiel about how induction heating is superior to gas in every way.

Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000's you've never heard of but what everyone in my generation would've been constantly using.

Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren't.

Chillax n00b, cuz 2000's slang is awesomesauce, biatch!
- you want some amazeballs with that awesomesauce? #winning

Cooking is not new slang. That shit goes back decades.

Yup
Phrase what's cooking? "what's up, what's going on" is attested by 1942. To cook with gas "do well, act or think correctly" is 1930s jive talk.
The expression "NOW YOU'RE COOKING WITH GAS" has bobbed up again — this time as a front page streamer on the Roper Ranger, and as the banner line in the current advertising series of the Nashville (Tenn.) Gas and Heating Company, cleverly tying gas cooking to local food products and restaurants. "Now you're cooking with gas" literally took the gas industry by the ears around December 1939 — Remember? — when it flashed forth in brilliant repartee from the radio programs of the Maxwell Coffee Hour, Jack Benny, Chase and Sanborn, Johnson Wax, Bob Hope and sundry others. [American Gas Association Monthly, vol. xxiii, 1941

Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.

Well I think it's nifty.
Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.
Psssh, next you'll tell me people aren't saying "hail to the king, baby"?
Marvy fab yo
Dude, that's totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like "epic fail" anymore
- At least epic and fail are actual words.
Can't speak for anywhere but where I've lived, but I've heard groovy on the US west coast pretty recently, though not regularly. There was a niche little clique of geeks out in east Texas that'd say it pretty regularly some years ago though. Hippie activist/tabletop enthusiast type vibe, that group. Good people. Groovy, even.
- Yeah I feel like not hearing people use "groovy" is more because things aren't feeling very groovy lately.
- That mighta been me

"cooking" in the context of doing something well has been around for a long time. Think, "now you're cooking!" Or the less common "now you're cooking with gas!"

I think it's just in more frequent use currently. It will be interesting to see if people stop using it after it goes out of fashion with the youth.

I personally think cooking will have serious staying power.
Let him cook
- Right analogous in some contexts (American sportsball) to "Let him eat"
Language is freaking fascinating.

That would be rad...

Yo dawg, that would be like totally tubular unless the geezers spaz out like lamo rents gettin all agro after gettin to tha crib and finding all da homies having a jammy jam in the hizzie. Ya feel me, cuz?

Safe.
Down with the rave police !
I’m never gonna stop calling people “dawg”
Word up, homie.
What does lamo mean? I understood the rest, and yes, my back hurts.
- Misspelled "lame-o" is my guess. Though my spelling of it is a guess as well.
I'm 40 and I understand most of that, yup it's old person speak.
C'mon Gen Z. You can't have "tubular". That's clearly an 80s term, and thus belongs to the millenials. Same thing with "crib" and the 90s.
"Cuz" was early 2000s. I don't know who that one falls to. All I know is I was about 18 before I heard it. So, basically on my last legs as far as being able to claim slang to my generation.
Geezers isn't even my generation, or Gen X. It's either the Boomers, The Greatest Generation, or The Silent Generation. Really pulling slang out by the roots on that one. What's next? Are we going to take a trip to the Piggly Wiggly?
- "Cuz" was early 2000s
  Reminds me of reading Macbeth in high school:
  My dearest cuz,/ I pray you school yourself – MACBETH, IV ii
  The Yellow Stocking Tales blog has a neat list of words used by Shakespeare and how the meanings have changed over time (or haven’t changed, in the case for the word “cuz”)
- Greatest generation is dead dude. Ok maybe a few are around but like, they're 100+
Totally tubular, dude! That’s like, the raddest thing ever, and I’m stoked to be part of it. It’s got that gnarly vibe that makes you wanna bust a move and just hang loose. You’re on point, and it’s all that and a bag of chips. Keep it up, ‘cause you’re totally on the money!

Nurse! I vibe coded in my pants again

Gyatt so Ohio, on god.

Based has been around forever, it's not some new slang.

forever
Maybe like 10 years? That seem about right?
Some searching seems to suggest that “Lil B” started the words come back around 2010
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil_B
- Lil B in quotes like he's a massively obscure figure from the past. The years really don't stop coming.

And their grandkids will ask "based on what?"

And then you hit em with the "BASED ON DEEZ NUTS"
- Based grandparent

I'll be ambling through nursing home hallways in a threadbare robe on the way to the ol' skibidi while some orderlies with multicolor levitating hair make modem noises at each other.

That'll just be the microplastic poisoning setting in though.

You had me in the last sentence... sadly

I haven't heard swag in a long while and so I'm not sure how many of these words will actually be used enough later on.

As an old person today, I have no clue what these words mean. Assuming cooking has nothing to do with food. I've never heard rizz. I've at least heard people use based, though I don't know its use.

Rizz = Charisma
Based = Cool; Awesome; Good.
Cooked = Fucked (as in up, not sexually).
Cooking = Doing something (usually good, but does not necessarily have to be).
Sincerely,
A 40 year old Millennial.
- 'cooking' specifically implies either creativity or efficacy (or both, some novel solution that results in success)
- Based also sorta meant woke for a bit before woke
- Based is like 'unpopular, but I agree.'
- Temba, at rest.
I consider 'based' an opposite of 'sour' or 'acidic'. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.
Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.
I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
Yep me too, I bet as it's young people it's mainly texted and in txt spk
- txt spk
  Ahh, the first Kid Pidgin.

in the nursing home talking about how I rizzed up the nurses (i didn't)

Gag me with a spoon

I was today years old when I relaised that "gag" in that phrase presumably means "make me vomit" not "silence me". I've spent many decades being confused about that...

Based is already old though

And it was never not lame. Poor fad, never got to be fetch.
- Stop trying to make fetched a thing.

Skibiddy Rizz YOLO my chat in Christ, based yeets.

memento te senescere

I speak a little jive

Woah, you lost me there with your hip young lingo, son
