This is the blind (in one eye anyway) leading the blind, Mystic William. I guess you ain't got gyatt but even without a gyatt (which spell check wants to turn into "goat"), you can have rizz. (Which AI wants to turn into fizz. OMG.) You haven't sold, though, bruh. You're keeping it one hundred.
What is even more odd is that I too am blind in one eye. I do wear an eye patch which has a certain rizz to it. Especially to 4-8 year olds. Who looove it. I wish that were not the only rizz thing about me but sadly…it might be.
I was surfing back about eight years ago, so 65. There was a very cute young thing I thought was flirting with me out at the break. After we both were on land she kind of wiggled up to me….completely making my day…she said ‘I just want you to know when I see someone your age still doing things I think it is really cool’. Then she wiggled away from me….completely unmaking my day.
For the longest time whenever my kids said “what the sigma?” I replied with “what the upsilon?” But fr my favorite is Big back. And these teens of mine teach the tot so he also calls me bruh all the time.
Me neither. Just writing this article, which my teen helped me with, hurt my brain. Not joking. I guess that means some new synapsis were forming. But, ouch. LOL.
Ha! Thanks so much for this, Jennifer! Believe it or not, last night when I couldn't sleep, I was thinking about that first slang article you posted in 2020, and wishing I had a printed copy, as I hear things I just would love to understand. Especially when I hear a boomer (which I am) trying to use some of these phrases. We're still alive, why not find some delight in the creativity of the young? You definitely got rizz, girly.
My 19 year old son just got back from spending five months on Vancouver Island playing football. He sounds thoroughly Canadian, and he is “chuffed” about (a-boat) it, hey. Apparently that means happy, excited.
This article further solidifies why I don't have kids. It also reinforces why I don't work with kids. Maybe if you have kids, when you get to this point in your life, you have been indoctrinated and become immune to the utter ridiculousness of this. I guess it is the current day version of pig latin? I feel old and tied reading this post. I am glad someone cares enough to learn this language.
I don't know if this was supposed to be funny but I kind of love this comment and it made me laugh. It's impossible to keep up. It changes daily. I feel you!
Well it's good to know when you shouldn't have kids. And honestly I stink at pig latin. So maybe this new language that they make up works! I just feel for those trying to keep up. I went to see Tucker Carlson in Reading PA. We came down to breakfast and a retired teacher who substitutes was telling us the lingo. So to read your blog made it that much more real. We treat high school kids. I will have to try some of the lingo and see if they have a clue. Plus this 70+ yo substitute teacher was showing us some hand expressions and two young girls getting breakfast saw her do it and were laughing. So she knew what "she was talking about"!
I am too old to learn a new language - too old fashioned to think anyone should adopt these phrases - at ANY age. Yikes. I feel like someone just tried to teach me Chinese!
There was a time when my gyatt had rizz. No now. Sold now Bruh. Sold.
(Do I have that right? Trying to say my wrinkly 73 year old butt got nothing going on now.)

Girl talk got rizz. And here was I, thinking sigma was something to do with standard deviation.
🤣
Now that you mention statistics, how many sigmas does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 😂😂😂

Good comeback!
Big back is someone who eats a lot
This made me laugh so hard!
I'm glad. I was laughing when I wrote it, as was my daughter (since in the first few drafts, I apparently got all the phraseology wrong)!
I am never going to be able to keep up. HA!
Me neither. Just writing this article, which my teen helped me with, hurt my brain. Not joking. I guess that means some new synapsis were forming. But, ouch. LOL.
I was just going to say reading this made my brain hurt, can’t imagine writing it!🤣
IKR?! Now it's time to practice using all your newly acquired lingo!
Lingo, that is so ‘50s!
I wasn't born then! But I guess the word has endured... xo

Computer: Bruh! It's gang dude.

When I say "Microsoft Word ate a paragraph", that ain't no sigmaing good. 😂
Microsoft ate and left no crumbs. That means the program ran great. Um. I think?

I don’t remember there being such a big language gap between me and my parents but maybe I’m just too old to remember!
