Probably phrased something like how a streamer might speak, “chat, are we ____?” which I could imagine getting old 2.5 milliseconds after the class starts saying it on repeat.
Acting in a manner reminiscent of being on meth. Spastic (from which we get spaz )
Now I think about it, young people are often high energy because (as I put it) the motor is too big for the chassis hence the need to run around on the jungle gym. So having new recurring slang for someone who is too energetic to be fully in control (i.e. well-behaved) makes sense.
Note the conspicuous lack of traditional swear words on this list.
If I were a kid in this class, I would've abused the hell out of that loophole. (And suffered the consequences, but finding and exploiting the technical ways to skirt a teacher's stupid rules was always worth it.)
I agree. Thinking more about it, if you look at the board it shows hand written, a typo count. Which may indicate it is a typing class. Thereby they would be possibly teaching professional typing for a work environment.
So telling users not to talk about pop culture, use slang, emojis, and memes would make sense in that environment.
I personally prefer to use some, but knowing how not to and "knowing your audience" would depict when it is or is not appropriate. So teaching students to say type a professional email/cover letter/resume/response would make sense to ban such. 🤷 <Devils advocate I suppose. Sorry, been a rough week
It is a reference to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Gen alpha is very interested in the history of international trade and the rise of the global market economy.
I work with kids, it essentially means ass but has a sexualized context to it. Most kids approaching high school realize this and don't use it as frequently around me, but younger kids seem to think it just means butt. Again this is just my experience and it could vary from place to place
Yes, my kids and their friends (10-13 yo) say it all the time and it's pretty uncomfortable. They also say hawk tuah to just mean spit which is much more uncomfortable.
They all come from that incel grifter nonsense. You can also throw "femnoids" and that junk in there, but the alpha, beta, and sigma stuff are more mainstream.
They originally come from that nonsense about wolves forming into packs where the alpha males get the girls and the beta males get cucked, but then they had to create a new, better category of males to keep the grift going, so the "Sigma male" became a thing. And then that spawned the "sigma grindset" idea of working yourself to death because that's how you get rich and sexy, and so on.
What, if I may ask, is this "Ligma" my good Sir? I never heard of such a thing. Would you be so kind as to elaborate the meaning of this Ligma lexeme to me? The sheer uncertainty is simply unbearable.

Slang meaning for strange, weird, cringe, and dumb. Originally referred to the U.S. State of Ohio. It gained widespread popularity in 2020 as a meme that humorously labeled Ohio as a weird place where only bizarre and random things happened.
