Remember when comic artists and cartoonists would make up some outlandish slang for a character and it was supposed to make fun of millennials, but we thought that was stupid too?
Gen Z actually talk like that.
48I know you probably joking but as a millennial I kinda hate this take.
Every generation used words that our elders didn’t and every future generation will continue to do so and I support that.
In fact I like to try and learn the new words as it’s cool to know what’s happening. Don’t use them though else the kids will cringe.
52It’s okay, I hate your take :)
Yes we all know language evolves, nobody is saying the kids can’t use new slang and words. That’s simply a part of the human experience regardless of age.
The dislike of this kind of talk is more than just “what was cool is now not and the kids have the new cool and I hate it because it’s not my cool”.
I know it makes an easy strawman for you to slap down but there is valid criticism and some of these terms are already dated as fuck, further reducing the cultural and linguistic impact which is your whole thing apparently.
The comment you replied to isn’t simply talking about new words and slang, it’s about the fucked grammar, the fr frs, etc. The kids aren’t speaking gospel, why raise them up on a pedestal as the drivers of linguistic evolution?
Is “Skibidi what the sigma Ohio” some deep wisdom to you? Maybe rizzler gyat fanum tax rings true in your soul?
That shit makes Jive look like goddamn Shakespeare

do they? maybe i'm hanging out in the wrong places but the only place i've ever seen this sort of "slang" is posts mocking Gen Z
24I've got some coworkers that fit this meme pretty well. Though I do admit they may be among the... slower ... of their generation.

Oh, stewardess! I speak jive.
19No they don’t. My Zoomer son and his friends mock this bs savagely.

Can someone translate back to non-fuckwit human please?
38Nah fam, it's lit ong fr fr
32On God, you are cappin' rn fr.
I am the danger.
A hater gets caught lackin' in the crib and you think that's my vibe?
A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me?
Deadass,
No,
I am the one that's bussin'
I am the one who knocks!
11I will note that a line for line translation doesn't quite work, as you can see above. This is more of a general translation than a direct word for word translation.

Is this cap
11I too want the translation so I can brush up on my Fuckwit. Still not available in Duolingo!
8He's coming out as trans to his mother.
7Fo shizzle.
3No cap seems to mean "no lie". So it maybe means "I swear to god, you are talking shit right now for real". Bit I don't know.
3No

Skyler be like: "Are you having a stroke?"
31Nah Skylar's response is just "cap"
19
On god, you cappin' rn fr
"Honestly, you are lying right now for real"
A hater gets caught lackin' in the crib and you think that's my vibe
"Someone who doesn't like me gets caught without enough to defend themselves in the house, and you think that's what I'm about/like"
Deadass, I'm bussin'.
"...in all seriousness, I'm great/fantastic/amazing."
30Is it cap because of capslock or what is the origin?
2It's believed to have been a part of black American slang for decades, possibly from the term "high-capping" which essentially means bragging. Rapper E-40 used the term in his 1995 song "Da Bumble".
3Turns out cappin' is in opposition to no cap (a video game term for an accurate sniper shot)... So where no cap came to mean accuracy, "cappin'" came to mean inaccuracy or deception/lying.

He was a pretty big crybaby for being "the one who knocks".
9Somehow, we're using the same language.
