“Fam” here should be replaced with “chat,” that’s the biggest one that makes it feel wrong to me.
“That’s cap” is very 2019 coded. “No cap” was more common anyway.
“Vibe check” feels millennial.
“Drip” is there but it also feels like it’s always ironic. Maybe it’s just the context of me being a teacher, but I feel like I’ve only heard it from students talking about my outfits/accessories - like, walking into a classroom “nice new drip Mr [X].”
The usage of "ghosted" as slang for "lied" is the only one I wasn't already aware of, but as a crotchety millennial I must sadly acknowledge that what I'm with isn't it anymore.
I think the meme writer just made a mistake with that. There's no urban dictionary definition for it that says anything other than "totally stopped communicating"
Take it from an X-er, "it" comes back around again and you'll recognize it but it will be the "it" that should be left in the past like parachute pants.
There's nothing here I haven't heard from largely very white gen alpha kids from the uk apart from "some tea" which I don't recognise. I think the cultural appropriation already happened. Source: my daughters' classmates, more the boys than the girls.

This is like the rosseta stone to youth language, thank you!

It’s a mix of things that are at least 5 years out of date and things that only are said by millennials mocking gen A/Z.

Is it? I've heard Zillennials use most of these in casual conversation...

I think he was using it to mean "didn't communicate with you."

Very much so, but I think it's an overextension of the word.

I think they just really wanted to work it in due to the fact Obi Wan literally became a ghost.

Tea means gossip. It's queer slang that also broke out into the vocab of those white gen alpha kids
