Skibidi is so cromulent, brosef.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Please don't, I'm not ready for new slang. I barely had a grasp on old slang.

[–] marzhall@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

As an old, learning the new slang is a wonderful chance to learn words of power that will make everyone around you flinch under their force.

Utter a "that's bussin for real," and watch those around you fall to their knees, and add a "poggers" to hear them wail and grind their teeth. Sprinkle a "skibidi" in to really drive things home.

You're missing out on true power here.

It pleases me greatly when my kids take psychic damage from a simple incantation "sadge chat, no rizz for real for real".

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

That's so fetch.

If you barely had a grasp on old slang, new slang is just a second chance to get on with the times!

Are we still hanging onions from our belt?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

No, we've moved onto shallots.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 11 points 5 months ago

That's so art deco

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Are you going to deglaze that pan? Yeah.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No dipshit, we make belt buckles from them.

Cromulent, adjective - Acceptable, adequate, satisfactory.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The kids change the slang all the time. Did you know that dope apparently no longer means cannabis? Apparently the kids think it means exclusively heroin (horse).

This has been true for a long time, hasn't it? I'm in my 40s and I don't think I've ever associated "Dope" with the devil's cilantro.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I don't know, we called it dope in when I was in high school (you were probably a very young child). You were in your 20s at the millenium and that wasn't that long ago. Perhaps you were the kids that changed it?

cromulent has interestingly been around since 1996, courtesy of the Simpsons.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 5 months ago

I'd never heard the word "embiggen" until I moved to Springfield.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

Wasn't cromulent in Blackadder tho? And surely that was before 96? Or am I just missing the relative age of things again?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Fleep, my noser.
