My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”
Comment on I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is

As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too

That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
“Of course I know about fork-knife and Scooby-Doo toilet”
Precisely. Another fun subtle thing to do is add “the” to the term. Gives it an extra sense of dismissiveness. It ain’t “TikTok”, it’s “the TikTok.”
Or better yet, “the tikkity tok.”
Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
This was me in high school. I even listened to boy bands ironically and then noticed I was singing them unironically.
Yeah once I learned Rizz is just charisma I wasn’t so mad
Rizz? Can we just send that word back to hell already?
I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a “MUH BAWLZ” Joke
Could just say charisma. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That’s not really how slang works
Have you really never shortened a word in your life?
We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I’m gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.
“Go ahead and give me a roll on a DC15 rizz check…”
tbf, DnD groups were where I got a lot of my exposure to the newer generations words xD
I didn’t know it came from Charisma. Makes sense
I mean, I cant confirm directly where it originated from. But it’s used in the exact same way charisma is, and means basically the same thing
That hep cat’s rizz is putting the jelly in this pawg’s roll.
I rizzed in with a W cap from Ohio 🎶
F’real
ate it

Especially with how you pronounce yeet, I cannot think of another English word that is as fun to say
