Rizz isn't even all that bad. Yeet is far stupider, though fun. Cap/ no cap is pretty worthless, but oh well. None of it is any worse than the slang from any other generation.

Nothing will ever beat "Bitchin'"

Yeah, bitchin was pretty rad

RooPappy@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

Ah yes, ain't that fresh. Everybody wants to be down like that.

"Bitchin'" is such an 80s phrase that has mostly died out, and I hate that it's not more widely-used. I sometimes drop a bitchin' into a sentence and people take it as me being upset, when it's literally the exact opposite.

As long as we move farther away from YOLO, the better off we'll all be.

Worthless? I hear people use cap/no cap more than the rest

Pat_Riot@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 2y

Just because they use it doesn't mean it ain't stupid. Rizz is at least short for charisma. That makes sense. Cap/ no cap doesn't make sense though. It's a net negative for language as a whole.

I am going to roll charisma on this hot dog. (I am telling the truth, friend.)

vrek@programming.dev · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I don't think a hot dog requires a charisma roll... You just eat it....

My 8-year-old is saying "ez", as in a word and not the letters.

Fades@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

pronounced "ease"? I've been saying that for many years now, gaming lingo or something

i think there's also some twitch shit related to it, back from my dota days: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=EZ%20Clap

here's an example, I've heard it pronounced 'e-z' and 'ease': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CjcITYUUos

dohpaz42@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Not quite like "ease"; more like saying "eh" with a z on the end.

seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
