I’m already hep to your jive, so I know what’s fly.
Oh my God one day I walked out of my room and my high school kid looked at me and said:
“That fit shreds”
And it was the first time I had been honestly perplexed by slang, had absolutely no idea what they were trying to convey. Turns out they liked my clothes that day.
I’m so sick of everything being a “fit”. OUTFIT. Drip? Ugh.
What is GOAT? Someone here called me that, and I’m not sure if it was good or bad.
Being “the goat” or “goated” is good. No clue as to the etymology though.
I finally was brave enough to Google, and it means Greatest Of All Time.
Younger people of lemmy, what are some nuanced sayings that you would like to have explained to you?
Why do old people always follow the same rules of syntax and grammar?
Just kidding I’m old and I want to know why young people mangle english so much.
bcuz its qwiker
Stupidity, laziness, memes, twitter, AAVE
There was a multi panel comic posted today or yesterday, I think the final panel mentioned skibidi.
Found it. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3caedeba-754f-4af7-8130-bbc45aa77ce1.jpeg
1: Father, you have no respect. You simper over mother without end, and it brings shame upon me.
2: Quite. I may be “skip to the lou, my darling”, but your mother has earned my undying respect. My world goes crazy without her.
3: She’s a gentleman of audacious taste.
4: Double France? Double France.
Fr stands" for real"
Then why in the opening olympic ceremonies do they use it to mean france. I think you need to revise whether you take your sources from dubious online forums vs an entire olympics commitee, hmm
“Ohio”
What does it mean? Yknow other than a place in the US that had some scary chemical leaks some time ago.
Ohio has a LOT of people in it for no real reason, if you look at the population for states the top 3 all have something that’s unique… then there’s Ohio. There’s nothing going on from Ohio it’s just kinda… there. So naturally it became a meme
What I’m getting out of all these replies is that Ohio is to the United States as Acre is to Brazil.
… I wonder if every country has a place like this. Some god-forsaken part of the country that has nothing at all going for it and so people like to clown on it (for Acre the joke we do is “it doesn’t actually exist” and/or “it’s home to all sorts of cryptids and bizarre creatures”)
Well in Germany people joke that Bielefeld doesn’t exist, so there’s that. I feel like there’s a lot of different themed places that exist in many countries though, like “the incest place” (Alabama in the US, Saarland in Germany)
“Older” needs a reference point, son.
I’m 5 yrs older than a caterpillar that turned into a cocoon. I’ve never seen it again for two decades
