Gag me with a spoon
Acamon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I was today years old when I relaised that “gag” in that phrase presumably means “make me vomit” not “silence me”. I’ve spent many decades being confused about that…

Totally tubular, dude! That’s like, the raddest thing ever, and I’m stoked to be part of it. It’s got that gnarly vibe that makes you wanna bust a move and just hang loose. You’re on point, and it’s all that and a bag of chips. Keep it up, ‘cause you’re totally on the money!
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
C’mon Gen Z. You can’t have “tubular”. That’s clearly an 80s term, and thus belongs to the millenials. Same thing with “crib” and the 90s.
“Cuz” was early 2000s. I don’t know who that one falls to. All I know is I was about 18 before I heard it. So, basically on my last legs as far as being able to claim slang to my generation.
Geezers isn’t even my generation, or Gen X. It’s either the Boomers, The Greatest Generation, or The Silent Generation. Really pulling slang out by the roots on that one. What’s next? Are we going to take a trip to the Piggly Wiggly?

“Cuz” was early 2000s
It’s been around a lot longer than that.

Greatest generation is dead dude. Ok maybe a few are around but like, they’re 100+

What does lamo mean? I understood the rest, and yes, my back hurts.
Laristal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Misspelled “lame-o” is my guess. Though my spelling of it is a guess as well.
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I’m 40 and I understand most of that, yup it’s old person speak.

in the nursing home talking about how I rizzed up the nurses (i didn't)
reddig33@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 months ago
“Cool” has had greater longevity than i expected.
not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well I think it’s nifty.
Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.

Psssh, next you’ll tell me people aren’t saying “hail to the king, baby”?
WALLACE@feddit.uk 6 months ago
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like “epic fail” anymore
grabonex@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I still do 👋
pilferjinx@piefed.social 6 months ago
At least epic and fail are actual words.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.
thejoker954@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Dude, that’s totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s
darkmarx@lemmy.world 6 months ago
As an old person today, I have no clue what these words mean. Assuming cooking has nothing to do with food. I’ve never heard rizz. I’ve at least heard people use based, though I don’t know its use.
pelya@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I consider ‘based’ an opposite of ‘sour’ or ‘acidic’. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.
Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.
I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Yep me too, I bet as it's young people it's mainly texted and in txt spk

Rizz = Charisma
Based = Cool; Awesome; Good.
Cooked = Fucked (as in up, not sexually).
Cooking = Doing something (usually good, but does not necessarily have to be).

A 40 year old Millennial.
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Based is like ‘unpopular, but I agree.’
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Based also sorta meant woke for a bit before woke
hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 6 months ago
‘cooking’ specifically implies either creativity or efficacy (or both, some novel solution that results in success)
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
“cooking” in the context of doing something well has been around for a long time. Think, “now you’re cooking!” Or the less common “now you’re cooking with gas!”
I think it’s just in more frequent use currently. It will be interesting to see if people stop using it after it goes out of fashion with the youth.

I personally think cooking will have serious staying power.

Language is freaking fascinating.
