Honestly, I'm just glad we beat back "fire". That one is still just super awkward sounding and lived the majority of its lifespan in obscurity.

No one uses much 1930s and 1940s Hep Cat slang anymore and that's a real shame because Cab Calloway went out of his way to promote it.

Sure, people still use "salty" to mean angry about something, but when was the last time you heard someone "creeping out like the shadow?"

I love this link.

Considering it's coming up pretty close to being a century old, I'm actually surprised how much of this has made it into the common lexicon.

I feel like even the etymology on capped could be interesting and maybe share a common source with modern cap.

Yeet has grown on me. Side note, is "af" dated? I really liked that one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

The real joy of growing up is using slang without giving half a damn whether it's dated. Let them cringe, if they must.

"Yeet" is still in my slang. As is "af". I also use "Dope" and "Sick" a lot to mean cool. I also use "hella"

Hella and rizz are the only two slang words I've never liked in my 28 years.

I hate "Rizz" so much

I assume you're closer to 30 than 20 lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

I'll be 27 in a few days lol

For me that's just a contraction, so if you'd use the entire thing then you can use the contractions.

Don't worry about your slag being dated, embrace it! Who cares that yeet is cringe af fam?

I have a teenager and repeating slang I don't understand in slow sentance with over bloated words and a New England accent is one of my favorite past times.
