My generation says “C’mon, really??”
My daughter’s say…“Bruh”
Another funny one. Whenever there’s gossip in my girls’ friend group they call it “Spilling the Tea”.
Ahh…those meddling millennials!

- Wheat (throw)
- tock tocks (any video)
- theydies and gentlethem (how i refer to all the kids)
- Goku (every single anime character)

I’m a bit out of touch. Are the kids still saying “Jehosephat!” as an exclamation these days?

We named a pet hamster that. When our boy was very little all he could say was hoes-are-fat. It was quite funny until he said it in front of my 60 year old religious mother.

Sounds like Gen Zs to me.

“Sus” is one I hear a lot. “That’s sus.” I think it came from the video game Among Us. I have a few younglings in my family that say it a lot. I’m going to keep saying it to them until it’s no longer cool. An old 30 year old boomer like me saying those things just isn’t groovy I guess.

My nephews refer to male teenagers of low moral fibre as ‘Eshays’. I think it is an Aussie thing but I’m not sure.
“Throwing shade”…that’s another one.
It means you’re being nasty or being a buzzkill.

“The little spoon”
It means you’re the needier one in a relationship. When you cuddle in the spooning position, the inside person is the little spoon.

I am so sorry to be the one to tell you, but this went out of fashion at least ten years ago. Kids these days say wig.

I’m born right between millennials and gen z. I use lots of slang from both groups. Bruh is a good one.

The youngsters are also saying “Dude” a lot
My 55 year old brother uses this term a lot
He got it from his 20 year old son.
It gets on my nerves
My generation uses the term “Man” instead

In my generation, I found this was mostly regional. People from my region said dude, but where I went to college everyone said man.

The thing that has been really hard for me to keep up with is figuring out whether someone is using a general keysmash to indicate they find something funny, or using an actual acronym.
When iykyk became popular it took me at least a month to realize it actually stood for “if you know, you know”
And it seems nobody can agree on what smh means
So Much Hate?
Idk
smh means shaking my head
Acronyms enrage me, I often don’t have the spoons to decipher them and I feel left out.
It takes 0.2 seconds longer to write “how are you” instead of “hru”.
In the spirit of using slang wrong, I love enraging my brother by scoring against him in FIFA while saying “yay, I did a goal!”
A good way of pissing off the younger generation is by adding “the” and s’es.
Are you playing the minecrafts? Is that the fortnites?
When it comes to slang, I love words like yeet, tea, lit, fire, slaps.
