Even as a 90s kid I only heard half of those from the Super Mario World Special Zone level titles (along with Mondo).
Iunnrais@lemmy.world 6 months ago
To be fair, we also heard them from the ninja turtles, and any other kids media and/or commercials trying to appeal to the demographic. Some of us used it sarcastically on the playground, but I don’t think any of us knew anyone who used it seriously. I think it might have been surfer slang that was co-opted by marketing departments?

I’m old and “cooking” was old when I was young.
Strobelt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nah. It was just cooking
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
So will be “squeezin the juice”, just think about that one
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What’s cooking?
deepus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Fish balls. Why, would you like some?
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I’m old so no idea but I would guess like “let him cook”
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?
Sorry, but you ain’t all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.

They already are.
Source: I’m old and I can use all those words correctly.
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Yea but when old people now use it, it’s an oddity. I think OP means when old men in general are talking about Razz and Skibity outhouse.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 months ago
They are already getting there. Hearing forty year olds say it means kids are now stopping saying it.

I hear more millennial YouTubers using this language than I do highschoolers.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 months ago
By that time language may be unrecognizable by those of you still around
LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I heard this thing that humans are tribal creatures and in any group, family, friend etc, they will invariably develop their own language, and they didn’t mention it but generationally specify slang is so much more beautiful when viewed through that lens. So even if it’s an old person thing, for those of us privileged to be able to stay on this earth that long, it will still be your tribes language and you will feel at home saying it. And that’s all that matters.

And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.

My 34 year-old brother says “rats!” when something bad happens. He learned from our grandpa.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I make it a point to adopt some of my grandpa’s lingo. Funnily enough my 18-20 year old students can smell 30yo slang from a mile away and will point out it ages me, but they’ve never said anything about the random 50s teenage slang I incorporate.
LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Oooh, I like that, I’m terrified of rats, so that would be a great replacement, for the usual word, when around kids, too.

One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
toynbee@lemmy.world 6 months ago
A relatable situation; when my kid can read a little better I mean to very enthusiastically introduce them to it.
Though honestly they might enjoy the beautiful artwork without bothering to read. Or it might encourage them to practice. Hmm.

GenZ HATES spaghettis because their not WOKE like “bucatini” or “far fale”

they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all
Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nothing is new under the sun.
I heard that once in a bible class and it’s stuck with me ever since. And imo it beautifully encapsulates humanity’s trends and fads.
Language is an ever-evolving thing, but at the same time, how many variations of something can be made before we’ve made all of them? Humanity has been around for thousands of years; I find it hard to believe that just about any word we could come up with is actually brand new and no other human has heard it before.
toynbee@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What is “bop”? Are bop-its popular on TikTok?
dil@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
the song one is common, but it also used to mean a hoe and means that again, ppl on tiktok comments were acting like that was recent but I remember it being used in that context as a kid
HereIAm@lemmy.world 6 months ago
How is rizz not new? I’ve never seen it until tiktok.
dil@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It’s just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes

Dasus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000’s you’ve never heard of but what everyone in my generation would’ve been constantly using.
Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren’t.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Chillax n00b, cuz 2000’s slang is awesomesauce, biatch!

MourningDove@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
Cooking is not new slang. That shit goes back decades.
Dasus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yup
Phrase what’s cooking? “what’s up, what’s going on” is attested by 1942. To cook with gas “do well, act or think correctly” is 1930s jive talk.
The expression “NOW YOU’RE COOKING WITH GAS” has bobbed up again — this time as a front page streamer on the Roper Ranger, and as the banner line in the current advertising series of the Nashville (Tenn.) Gas and Heating Company, cleverly tying gas cooking to local food products and restaurants. “Now you’re cooking with gas” literally took the gas industry by the ears around December 1939 — Remember? — when it flashed forth in brilliant repartee from the radio programs of the Maxwell Coffee Hour, Jack Benny, Chase and Sanborn, Johnson Wax, Bob Hope and sundry others. [American Gas Association Monthly, vol. xxiii, 1941

I’ll be ambling through nursing home hallways in a threadbare robe on the way to the ol’ skibidi while some orderlies with multicolor levitating hair make modem noises at each other.
That’ll just be the microplastic poisoning setting in though.

Based has been around forever, it’s not some new slang.
jve@lemmy.world 6 months ago
forever
Maybe like 10 years? That seem about right?
Some searching seems to suggest that “Lil B” started the words come back around 2010
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Lil B in quotes like he’s a massively obscure figure from the past. The years really don’t stop coming.

I haven’t heard swag in a long while and so I’m not sure how many of these words will actually be used enough later on.
