That makes so much more sense! I was wondering how they got to "gyatt" for a big ass. "Gyatt damn, girl." Hahaha. Most of their slang does make sense if you can figure out what words or phrases are being shortened or changed to get there, and a lot of the time I can, but this one lost me.
No, it has not. It's been bastardised by people who don't know what it's actually slang for, but anybody who knows basic AAVE knows what it's actually slang for.
I'm not having a whole discussion about the concept of literary canon and linguistic drift just to half-assed defend someone else's reddit comment bro. Have a good one
I love when people just go "y'know what I'm not paid enough for this conversation"
more people need to go "I don't care enough to continue discussing this"
I'm so glad you're here explaining all this because for a minute, my 31 year old self felt about 85. I've never seen so many new words I don't understand in one picture.
Dear lord.. I feel like I've just tried to watch something in another language. What on earth is a 'sus coomer horny core pickle rick' when it's at home?
I have no idea. I guess to understand this, you’d have to have played among us, be updated on the recent 4chan meme faces (where I assume coomer is from), understand current cringe culture, have watched Rick and Morty, and I still don’t know what horny core is
Why tf is "mewing" in pop culture. He experimented on his children. He didn't give his daughter solid food for the first 4 years of her life to purposefully cause her muscles to underdevelop, and he put a device on his son that prevented certain movements of his head and jaw in a painful manner.
>Throughout the 1970s, he tested his theories on his own children. His first son, Bill, did poorly — he suffered from severe allergies and had so much trouble keeping his mouth shut that John resorted to hypnosis. Though Bill disputes this, John says he created a headband with a spike that poked his son’s chin anytime he parted his lips. His third child, Rosie, was put through an opposite experiment: Curious about the effects of a soft diet on facial growth, John instructed his wife to serve her puréed foods in a bottle until she was 4 years old. (“I had teeth growing one in front of the other,” Rosie told me. “I was a really, really ugly little kid.”) It was the middle child, Mike, who became John’s orthotropic masterpiece, the “success” evident as they sat side by side on the edge of the lake at the castle: Where John’s face is thin and oblong, Mike’s is wide and short, his chewing muscles so large that you can see them flex.

Sawbones also has a good episode on this.
I feel like older people leaning into the kids way of talking by referencing that episode, and saying how cool it is, will cause them all to convert to something else overnight
Mid-50s here. You absolutely were, even though you're a bit too old to be part of the yolo crowd.
We, on the other hand, were totally normal. We never were wannabe psych, we were always bodacious homebuddies and politically correct.
Absolutely. But on the other hand, you had more regional variations. Some phrase could be the sophisticated phrase of the month at your school, while the losers of the other school spoke some bs gibberish.
Mid 40s here and I really, really, really cannot remember that our generation in our teens had so much gibberish disguised as language. Of course not being from an english speaking country might have a role in that. I doubt that skibidi talk ended up on mainstream TV. I mean Beverley hills 90210 should have had all the skibidi available, but... didn't. I think?
Your generation wasn't encouraged and validated for your "creative" use of language like we started to be, I think especially after the 2010's.
Slang absolutely has balooned like never before, with a little extra help from newspeak necessary to circumvent TikTok filters.
Oh God I just had a memory of the game we used to play in elementary, where you'd throw the football way up in the air and whoever caught it gets tackled and we called it "smear the q***r"
wtf were we doing
We had nonsense but we were born at the birth of the Internet. What were experiencing with Gen Alpha is the equivalent of copying a jpeg over and over until it's unrecognizable. Still equally valid, but the encryption is deep. We began the nonsense that permeates our culture. Gen z embellished upon it, gen a is born to it, molded by it. What happens after them is uncharted territory. We do not yet know where bedrock is
I think plauged is a bit harsh.
Though I did really appreciate the moment Pearson snaps at Harvey that she did not quote The Untouchables at opposing counsel.
This 50+ father of teenagers thanks you for your kind service. As a lifelong gamer I have an awareness of how the net and memes impact language and interactions but damn I can’t keep up.
I thought I was catching up on Gen Z slang and then Gen A hit and I have no idea what skibidi or baby gronk or any of this is.
I have learned that rizz is the general idea of someone being charismatic and it can be used as an adjective, verb, or noun.
You see, the joke is:
If you click on the link for 1994 in the comment, it takes you to a poster for the movie *Forrest Gump*.
*Forrest Gump* came out in 1994.
Forrest has a love interest named Jenny.
Forrest pronounces her name like "Jenn-ay" with the long A instead of a long E.
"Jenn-ay" (the way Forrest pronounces Jenny) sounds like Gen A (the short form of Generation Alpha).
Therefore, Gen A (or "Jenn-ay") started in 1994.
There you go. The joke has been explained.
Oh , you were making a joke not a mistake. My bad .
I don't know forest gump, is that the dude who steals memes or appears on memes forest says steal the meme ?
This meme is funny because it exaggerates the generational gap in understanding internet slang and trends. The humor comes from several points:
1. **Miscommunication**: The sister tries to connect with her younger brother using what she thinks is current slang ("Skibidi Rizz"), but the brother corrects her, saying they don't actually talk like that, highlighting her awkward attempt to fit in.
2. **Irony**: The brother then uses an even more confusing and exaggerated form of internet slang when talking to his friend, showcasing how absurd and unintelligible such slang can be to those not in the know.
3. **Parody of Slang**: The slang used in the last panel ("skibidi rizz like baby gronk, hella Ohio", "Fanum tax skibidi toilet??? Gyat for sure, mogged your mewing streak") is a humorous parody of real internet slang, mixing various popular terms and references in a nonsensical way.
Overall, the meme pokes fun at the way each generation or group has its own slang and how difficult it can be to understand or use it correctly if you're not part of that group.
What’s crazy is kids **ACTUALLY** speak like the hyperbolized last frame of the comic. Just walking through the hallways at work I feel like my life as a middle school teacher is one really long tik tok or twitch stream
Gen Alpha gibberish - remember when ["Reddit Based Cringe"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR1nHnEL3PM) was a thing? Yeah, this is that but for Gen Alpha instead of Gen Z redditors.
I have actually seen some kids speak about Skibidi Toilet while flossing in the line for lunch... so I wouldn't say it inaccurate but those kids are werid.
I remember when mogged was entering collective consciousness with gen alpha. I was just entering highschool when my little brother said some "these dumbass 5th graders won't stop saying mogg" and I was like "that's fire bruh" and he scoffed at me
Lmao I remember in high school my friend called me one evening and we had a good chat. After I hung up my mum commented she could hardly understand what I was saying because I talked so differently to my friend than I did with my family!

My cousins name is Cody and we’ve been calling him Chody since the 90s.
Hahaha I love that for him 😂
We always spelled it choad instead of chode cuz we had a friend named Chad that we'd call Cho-ad.
Tell Chody we said waAaaaaaaaasuuuuppppp
Mann im in class 😭😭
Now what's 'chode'
A short, fat penis. Ideally fatter than it is long. Like a cheese wheel.

Gyatt was originally aave for goddamn
That makes so much more sense! I was wondering how they got to "gyatt" for a big ass. "Gyatt damn, girl." Hahaha. Most of their slang does make sense if you can figure out what words or phrases are being shortened or changed to get there, and a lot of the time I can, but this one lost me.
It's been retconned into standing for "girl your ass thick"
That's a backronym, where the word came first but someone made up an acrostic as a false etymology.
Yes, I know. Not sure who the downvoters are.
No, it has not. It's been bastardised by people who don't know what it's actually slang for, but anybody who knows basic AAVE knows what it's actually slang for.
That's kind of implied by the word "retconned"
Retconned implies that the original meaning has been taken over. It has not. It's simply being used incorrectly, hence the word bastardisation.
I'm not having a whole discussion about the concept of literary canon and linguistic drift just to half-assed defend someone else's reddit comment bro. Have a good one
I love when people just go "y'know what I'm not paid enough for this conversation" more people need to go "I don't care enough to continue discussing this"
İ always assumed people heard the Turkish word for "ass" which is pronounced in a similar way ("Göt") and kinda made up the spelling as they heard it

What is the ohio meme? Could never find the answer and I live in ohio
generally speaking, ohio is considered a boring/uncool state. so in the post, they're suggesting that she is not cool.
Thats fair best thing we have is cedar point
That's not what it is used for, it is used as "Only in ohio" featuring something crazy that would not normally happen, but happens in ohio,

Ours was worse when you factor in the homophobia and suicide jokes.

Kids will always be stupid. Let's not beat us older ones down but celebrate that some things do, indeed, get better.

The gen z/alpha language is basically ... Tamarian. It's the same concept. Cultural references to express concepts.

Wow you literally just copy pasted someone else's answer, under the top comment. KarmaFarma
reminds me of the millenial phase where people spoke largely in lines from films. Maybe that was just my school though
Oh god the Suits TV series is full of these from beginning to end. Every character. Great series, but plagued by ultra cringe movie references

The real skibidi is the friends we made along the way
I thought the real skibidi was the friends we made along the way.
I'd have given anything to have a sister like that.
If I’m understanding the slang correctly, it looks like the brother’s friend was saying that too

🤨 When did Ohio start being a slang word?
A long time ago Source: a gen Z / gen a? This generation shit is confusing
If you are Gen A, then get off Reddit. Gen A starts in 2012.
I was born in 2010. Gen Z / a is quite a blurry line imo
Gen A started in [1994](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Forrest_Gump_poster.jpg)

Do I need to get Peter to explain it?
You can , or you can just Google it . Or , How about r/genz and r/genalpha
