I hate finna more than all the others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3QQDAKxUIk from a linguist about finna (and gonna and other things)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yesssss it's language Jones!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (10 children)

it's AAVE, not made up, and there's literally no reason why "gonna" should be more legit. it's the exact same construction.

“Going to” is far superior to “fixing to,” so I don’t know what you are talking about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why do you think it's superior?

Sweet fresh words. You da bomb, right list of legit dope slang. Boyah!

Literally 1984

On god I have a co-worker named Riz though. Straight bussin’.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

This list is missing "on my soul", which the illiterate children at my school (who have only ever heard it on snaptok and facegram, and are only poorly parroting it) replace with "oh my SO".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I recall this meme from a year or so back with a different joke attached.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Every cohort of kids will have their slang and in-jokey vocabulary, a very small part of which will be entered permanently into the lexicon. I'd like to nominate "rizz" as this generation's contribution.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Man, rizz is the new yeet, and both belong on the pedestal of excellent slang.

Im finna yeet rizz into heavy rotation

skibidi [adj.]

- nonsense (derogatory)

That's my pick.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nah, that one is going to be emblematic of this period. In 2035 they're going to look back at videos from 2024 and hear all the skibidi and cringe the same way we do looking back at 2006 and hearing "FAIL!" every other word.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Can we get a date on this? I don’t see skibidi or sus. And I’m most surprised to see the youths embracing finna

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Based on my experience in the NE U.S., this list is current.

My school district is WAY smarter than this, all the teachers and staff just start saying the words more than the kids do until they think it's corny.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Unironically started saying hella after life is strange made me cringe out of my fucking seat when the characters say it.

Reclaim it like slurs. Lmfao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Lol that's hella awesome

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I say hella every day. Slang accentuates speech and makes it fun, so I use a lot of it. Not an obnoxious amount, though. Gotta get the slang amount just right, just like swearing. It's an art.

I don't use skibidi because it's too long to easily work into sentences casually. Also it's a really fucking dumb word that feels wrong saying. Like I tried it a few times and cringed so hard I thought I was gonna flip inside out or some shit. My soul started leaving my body.

And here I thought that they misspelt 'banal'...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If my kid ever comes home from school with a picture like this I'm having words with the teacher. Let the children have their fun ffs

How did all of this brain damage manifest itself?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Kids are gonna kids

I don't understand what teachers think a "banned words list" is gonna accomplish except being the new target of bored kids/teens

(Unless they're just tired of hearing it, but this isn't a good solution imo)
