Can you translate that into millennial?
-
Dad, you're not cool. You're madly in love with my mother, and it's cringey.
-
Maybe it's weird, but your mother is special and I can't imagine life without her.
-
She's the best person I've ever met.
-
Are you sure? -- I'm positive.
Papa, you illin
I may be illin, but yo moms mad chill. My world is ratchet without her.
She lit
Yasss?
Yas, Yas
We moved up a level
Alpha to zoomer but I can translate now
Papa, you ain’t fly
Maybe but Mum’s da bomb. She’s the XD to my RAWR
She’s hella aiight
Oh snap?
Crackle pop
90's Edition:
Dad, you need to take a chill pill! You're totally buggin' out over mom and it's grodie!
Whatever, don't go there! I may be a scrub, but your mom is gettin' jiggy wit it! She's all that and a bag of chips!
Wazzzuuuuup!?
Waaaaaazaaaaaaap!?
Somehow I understand all 4 versions. I am a generational Rosetta stone
Mood
Now combined with vong speak (german exclusive):
Vadder, du kein 1 rizz hast, du nur Mudda simpen tust. 1 cringe ey!
I bims 1 skibidi, aber 1 mudda voll rizz. Ohne sie ist alles 1 Pimmel. Sie bims GOAT.
Sie bims?
Sie bims.
Sayin 'crackle pop' in response to 'oh snap?' is legit hillarious. Ive never heard that before.
Father, thy woman driveth thee to lovers’ foppish folly
Forsooth, but dignity is coin I gladly trade for Cupid’s coveted ware — She is fair moonlight upon the waters of my soul
Speak narrow truth now Father for such promises my childish heart cannot but leap upon with faith
Tis ground I speak to catch thy eager feet, Child, and though it bury my ambition it lifteth me as well it quench my thirst
I unironically like this version the best out of the entire chain

how to i pronounce fr? (even if i don't say it out loud i gotta pronounce it in my head)
do i expand the acronym and say "for real" (e.g. /fə‿ɹiːl/) or do i say /fɹ/ like in fruit?
It's halfway in between. You say "f'ree". It sits in the spot between 1 and 2, like a wobbly and uncertain syllable, that lingers as "mine" beyond "me".
Notice how the former is longer than the latter, despite being the same number of notes. A warble, a wiggle, a bridge between meters, "FR" is timed out like "baroque".
what?
mine is /maɪ̯n/
me is /miː/ (UK), /mi/ (US) or /mɪ/ (northern England)
baroque is /bæˈɹɒk/ (UK) or /bəˈɹoʊk/ (US)
do you just want to add an /iː/ between fr and fr?
/fɹiːfɹ/?
Pretty sure it's just expanded and pronounced "for real," so frfr would be "for real for real."
Just f as in fan then roll the r. Frrrrrrrrrrr. Fr fr sounds like two short bursts of submachine gun fire.
afaik english doesn't have rolled r's
but i appreciate the humor
"Fur reel" that's phonetically how I pronounce it
i don't understand why most people on the internet don't use IPA for conveying pronunciation
while it is more complicated, and unless you are a phonology nerd, you have to look things up (including me), it is incredibly more concise
it is, in fact, the only way to concisely convey any pronunciation (excluding single language focused phonetic notations)
different english dialects have different pronunciation: e.g. fur can be /fɜː(ɹ)/, /fɜɹ/ and /fʌr/
While this is not the case for your comment, others also use made-up words for conveying pronunciation. Ghoti is a perfect example why that is problematic.
Not sure if you're looking for a legitimate answer or not but I can provide my take: to me, looking at that standard, I cannot make heads or tales of the pronunciation at a glance. Learning a whole new set of symbols and standards is simply more effort and less efficient in the long run when considering the amount of necessity actually required. I.E. it is not an incredibly common everyday issue. It can also be meaningfully resolved with something more linguistically universal (the known and taught alphabet), so the time spent, the effort expended, does not pay dividends and ultimately the half measure typically works near equivocally.
I am aware of Ghoti (fish) and Ptoughneigh (Tony) but really, those a more fun experimental ways to twist pronunciations and examples given generally sick to things people would know and understand the way to pronounce, and if not, could also be easily fixed. Even so many would not even second guess because the importance is usually of such low value that it can be wrong until corrected, further diminishing the value of learning a more rare and nonstandard (for general communication) standard.
Different dialects do tend to have slights to the pronunciation but again, it just feels like such a non-issue.
That's simply my layman take as to why I wouldn't learn it. I can't speak for anyone else
Cute and wholesome but I never want to see this in my life again
Same, ngl the gen-z-speak memes are getting kinda worn out
Get ready to feel old: This isn’t even gen-z speak, this is gen-alpha speak.
Nay from me, for such variances of speech are wrought clear as by the Stone of Alexandria.
While my brain feels pain from being stuck in Shakespeare mode, I gladly find that I can freshly read this Z-speak. It giveth me hope to see our generations Twix'd, that some sweet crunch of justice might produce this flimsy wrapper.
Say I continue with said gen-z memes, but only if we follow with the Chewie rawrs of translation.
Forsooth I must be done with Shakespeare's voice if I'm to think with ought but frank exhaustion. The verse at times goes on too long fr.
I have no idea how I managed to understand that.
Can you explain it to me ?
Hey dad, you have no charisma. You just do anything mom says and you're cringy.
Yes, it's true, but she is be best there ever was and I would be nothing without her.
Really?
Yes, really really.
Thank you !
It's that wet quantum computer between the ears, flexing just a tiny bit.
Translation without hesitation. Transcription bypassing conniption. As Bill Mahr says it blows his mind, to see such rap in real time. A mind that can turn on a dime is indeed a thing of no friction. And it's not just me or the B.I.G. that commands such a brilliant machine. It's all who can speak or exclaim with a squeak who is heir to the vocally miraculous conceit.
Now that's poetry right there.
I don't see it as all that much different from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. Like half the words are made up, but context clues offer enough info to piece together meaning.
Every day the Internet poisons our minds a little bit more.
