Apparently these rules exist in my house also. Just today, my Gen Z kid forbade me from ever saying rizz or Ohio again. Luckily, I don't live near Ohio, so I don't need these words for any functional purpose. In particular, she told me that Ohio has been over for, like, a year and I'm out of date on slang.

What I always love about it is that it's only outv of date in her age group social circles and it was out of date when she was using it too.

Teaching the youth about freedom in the US.

I actually get it in an English class. You're there to teach them vocab not let them crutch along on slang.

This seems like a joke from some Michigan school teacher ... similar to how a lot of Ohio State football fans say *ichigan and things

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (3 children)

No, "Ohio" has entered slang as meaning "boring hell", basically. All over.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Ugh, I hate gen Z's slang. It's just nonsensical babble and meta references...

Wait wait, let them cook

All joking aside, assuming this is a public school,

Schools are not Constitution Free zones.

They are government institutions and they just can't limit free speech like this, for terms that are not disruptive or vulgar but that the administration simply don't like for personal reasons.

Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I've been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.

Ok I'll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Ohio is the worst state worth living in has always been my take

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I don't know why people act like it's bad to like a certain area. I enjoy it here. If people don't, that's fine. If they want to live somewhere else then I hope they can move to that place.

Whenever someone says state X is better than state Y, they're saying X has things about it that they prefer. Once again this is fine, but there is no objective standard that one state is better than another (just like with countries -- "America is the greatest country in the world is extremely cringe").

True: it is honestly not that bad that you don't understand the hate. Hate isn't a good thing to understand.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (5 children)

No way you're better than Michigan...lmfao. what are u smoking cuz it's not that legal weed.

Ohio fucking sucks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've only visited either state and Michigan had a HELLUVA lot more going for it. It's not even remotely close.

And I Hate U of M. (I mean I hate the Buckeyes too, who calls themselves "THE" Ohio State? No on else wants to call themselves that shit.)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I think the "THE" is kind of stupid too, but it exists because the official name of the school is "The Ohio State University."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

FYI we literally have legal weed in Ohio... Also I wouldn't put legal weed at the top of my list personally, but you do you.

It's an acquired taste I think. I lived in South Carolina for 2.5 years and much prefer Ohio.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's not appallingly bad as the average deep-south state, I would hesitate to call Ohio "good" though.

Have you lived outside of Ohio?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I've been to well over 30 states (it's been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year

I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren't known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we're balanced enough to be a swing state

Ohio might be mid, but that isn't always a bad thing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like you’re infected with the Ohio mind virus.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

It's Ohios all the way down

To the left of this there's a different list, "use more of these"

  • DEI hire
  • woke
  • ...
[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wish y'all would be less cowardly and just say the n word

We'd honestly respect you more if you had a spine. Granted, we'd also finally be able to ban you, so... I guess you just know your audience. sigh

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I think he was implying that the same people who would want a list like this banning words like these would support enforcing the use of the above terms

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Gotcha. I think I can see that now. But it was a bit of a stretch for me. lol

Normally the people that use "DEI hire" or "woke" are making "fun" of people that use those terms and using it ironically or incorrectly but I guess I can see how ppl can think those terms have been accepted as positive to say on the right and negative on the left (tho I dont fully agree, I still use woke like I did 5 or so yrs ago even if it confuses some ppl)

Glad I held back on all the other stuff I wanted to say 😅 I definitely need to work on asking people what they mean first. It's crazy how I didn't think there was any other way of looking at this one. lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Edit - misunderstood what you were saying. I'm sorry for the aggression in my comment.

Is Ohio slang for something I'm unaware of?
