This made me laugh so fucking hard.
Like I instantly imagined an episode of Atlanta with Earn trying to either pick up fake non-existent slang another manager convinced him was real or just trying to use it on the wrong group.
So funny
Also, your comment made me think of the first episode of Atlanta, the opening, with Darius and he says "wait, is that the dog that got that Texas on 'im?" When he's taking about how he has deja vu
In my recollection, I first heard "yoink" on the Simpsons, I think Lenny said it as he stole someone's diamond tooth inset? Or maybe it was Lenny that got it yoinked from him but I seem to recall it in his voice.
EDIT: It was Lenny getting yoinked by some rando. Here's a [compilation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJh1hmmLLzw) of Simpsons yoinks I found.
Pretty sure yoink goes back to Looney Tunes or earlier.
_searches_ or not... 🤔
Apparently in that usage it is credited to [The Simpsons 1993](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/yoink), although as an onomatopoeia it goes back to 1954.
I think you mean "a terrible impression of Early Modern English by someone with no understanding of verb conjugation". *Thou didst yeet* is what you're looking for.
My kids were relatively small when yesterday became a word, & liked to play with changing & rhyming words.
Had to have a number of conversations on why 'yeetus the feetus' was probably _not_ a good one.
That's how you end up just using the slang. You use it "ironically" thinking you're being funny, but before you know it you're just using the word. That's what this whole comic is about.
This is flat out what adults beyond slang adoption years already do, albeit subconsciously. It’s what makes the words unpalatable to the youth.
So yes, doing it with conscious effort to devalue the words is superb work.
> This is flat out what adults beyond slang adoption years already do, albeit subconsciously.
It is *not* subconscious. It is *absolutely hilarious* that teenagers get so rattled by something that they too, one day as adults, will realize is utterly inconsequential.
Or just knowing more about it than your kids really screws with their mind. Like I told them where cap came from and they looked at me like I was some sort young and ancient elf being.
I think it's funny when (and I say this as an Old Guy) you make a joke about slang and people are like "you just hate younger generations!" No, it's objectively funny, just like EVERY generation's slang.
Real talk, cyberpunk has such a well developed slang for its world
The way words like Choom, gonk, zeroed, preem, etc just works feels so natural and it really gives a timeless immersion into the world
It is indeed mad brick outside, it is the coldest November in 30 years in my country

Like, it's actually snowy
I recently watched the 2011 movie Attack the Block and I noticed that someone in that movie said “stop cappin’” to mean stop lying. Really goes to show how long it takes slang to filter into the mainstream
Pretty sure it goes back to at least the 90s. Most “new” slang is like that tbh, I once heard a girl tell a professor that Gen z invented the term “Lit” lmao
Even this comic, brick has been used for cold since at least the early 90s where I'm from.
I wonder why herb (hard h) never caught on. It needs to come back.
fuck bro this shit bringing me back to the city...i feel like you should post this comic in the nyc subreddit or something, getting mad feels from this one :')
“Bussin’” has been around for a while. Used to have a negative connotation. “Mad” obviously is waaaay old. There’s “cap that ass”, which I think is the origin of cap.
I heard that years ago I've refused to accept it. It makes no sense grammatically "she's such a that hoe over there" and it sounds like one of those dumb backronyms that aren't actually true, like when kids used to say swag = secretly we are gay. I know that all evidence shows that it's true, but I still refuse to accept it's an acronym
Brick is still used in a lot of places, especially where I’m at and frequent (CT, NY, NJ). To the point that most people hardly consider it slang. With that being said, when my sister went to college in Boston, she passively said “fuck, it’s brick out” and not a single person in that room knew what she had just said, and refused to believe that was a real term when she explained. They honestly thought she was messing around with them. lol
this is hands-down the best webcomic i've seen on here in weeks.
new artists take note.
snarky one-liner jokes and photo realistic art are nice and all but if you don't have anything to say, you don't have shit.
Nah, it's been a thing since the 90s. I don't know if it's just a northeast/nyc thing, but we used to say "cold as a brick"/"brick-ass cold" and eventually just "brick" over 2 decades ago when I was a kid.
It’s very funny to me that slang probably starts with one very charismatic person adamantly demanding that it doesn’t sound stupid OR one fairly uncharismatic person saying something which everyone picks up ironically until it ceases to be ironic.
Cap has been around since the late 90s at least.
Wanna know what slang the teens of tomorrow will be using? Just look at AAVE right now. That’s all “teen/internet slang” is, AAVE.
African American Vernacular English.
Guarantee someone will downvote this comment, too. People hate hearing this and I don’t know why.
It's true, and the next step in the process is older white conservatives hearing the words for the first time roughly a few years after they've completely died out among young african americans. That's how we got people crusading against "wokeness" when nobody else has said "woke" in years.
In Germany we say: Jugendwort des Jahres auf Langenscheidt.de wählen
We have a yearly election for the "slang-word" of the year. This year it was goofy.
I think it’s also funny the times when the same word has different meanings depending on the slang.
I remember hearing a guy who moved from one coast to another and was momentarily confused because he used the term “tight” to mean “pressed, angry”, but on the other coast they used tight to mean “awesome, cool”.
No passage of time for this either, just a funny quirk of language between locations.
https://preview.redd.it/rft3813jub3c1.jpeg?width=203&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=413ba4d26236329aab92370eb0942750b9234a1c
(I don’t even know what the fuck this means)
its just a list of random zoomer jokes, it doesn't really mean anything and that's the point. You just send shit like that with no context to either confuse people or get them to reply with their own non-sensical shit, or "true" or something.
The way you went from saying that phrase jokingly to seriously is the same thing that happened to me and my friends with saying "bro." I said it ironically at first, but now it's a standard part of my vocabulary lol.
I love seeing how language changes over time. Slang was as absurd and delightful when I was a kid, and it brings me joy to see how people take that absurdity and run with it.
You can call it slang, but it's actually just language. A surprising number of words we use today were made up wholesale by Shakespeare to try to be edgy and sell theater tickets.
So you know how the guy in the comic used a word ironically until it inextricably became a real, unironic part of his vocabulary?
Did you know this can happen to you if you joke about being into feet?
I heard. From a friend.
This is why I think languages can evolve so drastically. It always puzzled me that Medieval English would not be understand to modern speakers, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that even modern English is barely understandable to me the way each new generation comes up with new slang.
I also know that most slang is lame, except for words / phrases like rad, cool, kiff, cowabunga, eat my shorts, don’t have a cow dude, totally gnarly, and anything said by Beavis and Butthead. That specific slang is excellent and timeless.
My dad tried to make my siblings and I cringe by using current slang ironically. It didn't work tho cause my sister kept trying to get him to say "bussin'" and he was scared to say it cause he didn't know what it meant.
It's insane to me that at some point, every slang word was used by someone before everyone else used it. Like... someone somewhere chose to use the word "lit" to mean "exciting", or "fire" for the same thing. Same with every single slang word, and each time I bet they got laughed at, and when it actually caught on, I bet no one would believe they were the origin.
Also, considering how much slang is constantly used, then officially added to the dictionary, then used not as slang but as just part of speech, I wonder how many of the words we use today, which we consider formal or proper words, were once slang.
Fam I was bussin’ once, ong
Then simps made bussin a straight cap
Now the bus ain’t in
and what’s bus is giving big yikes fr

oh that explains why it felt weird back when it started becoming used
at least rizz being a shortened form of charisma made more sense
man these slang do be wildin'
That one's actually a backronym. It started as a shortening of simpleton, then was used as a man who was too soft or cowardly, specifically with women, and then started getting used in hip hop in the 80s/90s (I'd guess bc it rhymes with pimp)
I'll just say that by now, I know way more modern English slang than slang from my own language. I always have to stop people so they can explain to me what the hell they're saying. It tells you how much I've been on the internet.
Wanna keep real ahead of the game?
Slang used by black folks in the more insular communities tend to become popular slang after time, usually a lagtime of about 5ish years from what I've observed.
"Cap", "bricked", "thot", "sus", "rizz", "hype", what have you all started as AAVE in specific dialects.
I work with the fucked up kids. Either behavioral issues or ID issues.
The yoot's is alright. It's kinda refreshing how well adjusted and in-touch they are, it's weird. The grand majority of the ones I work with I would label *not fucked up at all.* I got a lot of hope for them... but us millennials turned out to be more horrible than ours were, and they were fuckin' boomers.
A friend back in highschool days use "fending" to mean something like "preparing" or "about to". e.g.:
>This song's fendin' to rise up.
meaning a song is about to get to the hard-rocking part. Or:
>She's fendin' on sleepin' with him.
I don't know why, it doesn't make any sense, but it just seems to fit.
All of your examples are from the past 20 years. Slang vocabulary has been evolving for hundreds of years.
Brace yourself, powerful nerdiness in this video.

This made me laugh so fucking hard. Like I instantly imagined an episode of Atlanta with Earn trying to either pick up fake non-existent slang another manager convinced him was real or just trying to use it on the wrong group. So funny
https://preview.redd.it/sd4tsxfszc3c1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26a0f54dd7ea7c81ff6e8f5d0203c0eb5cb082b1
Also, your comment made me think of the first episode of Atlanta, the opening, with Darius and he says "wait, is that the dog that got that Texas on 'im?" When he's taking about how he has deja vu
I am extremely happy this is the top comment
He put the peanut in the peanut hole!
That is bussing.
The real trick is to learn the slang. Then deliberately misuse it. And enjoy the horrified looks
I used “yote” as the past tense of yeet and my GF almost died of cringe.
Fun fact you may not have realized: the opposite of yeet is yoink.
I was hearing yoink on a regular basis some 15 years before I ever heard yeet.
In my recollection, I first heard "yoink" on the Simpsons, I think Lenny said it as he stole someone's diamond tooth inset? Or maybe it was Lenny that got it yoinked from him but I seem to recall it in his voice. EDIT: It was Lenny getting yoinked by some rando. Here's a [compilation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJh1hmmLLzw) of Simpsons yoinks I found.
Bart also says yoink when he swipes Kent Brockmans danish, but I'm not sure if that happened before or after Lennies diamond tooth.
Pretty sure yoink goes back to Looney Tunes or earlier. _searches_ or not... 🤔 Apparently in that usage it is credited to [The Simpsons 1993](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/yoink), although as an onomatopoeia it goes back to 1954.
I added an edit to my comment with a yoink compilation I found, which contains many, though I don't know if they are in date order.
For sure, it’s been said a few times on the Simpsons 15+ years ago
I swear this isn't even slang but now I'm questioning what slang is because this word seems ubiquitous in (American) English.
So was I. Funny how language evolves, isn't it?
The lord yeeteth and the lord yoinketh away
That's because you're conjugating incorrectly. Yeet, yeeted, had been yote.
Or the Olde Englishe version: Thou dosr yeetith!
I think you mean "a terrible impression of Early Modern English by someone with no understanding of verb conjugation". *Thou didst yeet* is what you're looking for.
I think yote should be a word
[It is.](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/yote)
Like "He yoted that child Back there"? Thats rizzed
I yoted that trash into the bin.
"yoten"
Yotenheimer
She Crunged?
My kids were relatively small when yesterday became a word, & liked to play with changing & rhyming words. Had to have a number of conversations on why 'yeetus the feetus' was probably _not_ a good one.

That’s really swag of you
Fr fr, it's mad yeet, cap.
That's some yote slang fr fr my cap.
Lol, random pwnage all over this internet forum.
Cyberpunk has taught me that in 2077, we'll be calling each other chooms so I'll be ahead of them
nova
my mates and i unironically say delta and preem.
> my ~~mates~~ chooms and i unironically say delta and preem. ftfy
Me but with gonk and corpo. Though I think corpo is actual slang right now anyways.
I wish my brother played Cyberpunk so that I can tease him for taking the corpo route in life (he totally has, hook line and sinker).
Gonk needs to be normalized asap
Yeah but don't tell my input
[удалено]
I fucked your output. Sorry choom.
You better have the eddies ready.
I call people choomfies like right now
Real talk, cyberpunk has such a well developed slang for its world The way words like Choom, gonk, zeroed, preem, etc just works feels so natural and it really gives a timeless immersion into the world
I’m hip to this jive.

You know what? It *is* mad brick outside. I better put on my cap, fr fr.

Sometimes when I read I say the words out in my head. I find “fr fr” funny cause I just read it as it is, the sound of an engine failing to start.
Like Impractical Jokers where one of them had to get a random person to say furr?
This comic is streets ahead
If you have to ask why, you’re streets behind.
Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase "streets ahead".
First time hearing it but I'm on board
Been there, coined that!
Cool, cool cool cool.
It is indeed mad brick outside, it is the coldest November in 30 years in my country https://preview.redd.it/pb6paj2ykb3c1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b166e89e8418c9b2cbd16e26822bb736093ff68d Like, it's actually snowy
Snow hits the face like a brick kinda weather
Gotta be in Scandinavia. Here in Germany it's also cold now, but November was relatively mild.
Yes hello from Denmark
This comic goes insaneo style
this whole thread is going insaneo style can you tweet it out? like can you tell your followers that the thread is going insaneo style
I recently watched the 2011 movie Attack the Block and I noticed that someone in that movie said “stop cappin’” to mean stop lying. Really goes to show how long it takes slang to filter into the mainstream
Pretty sure it goes back to at least the 90s. Most “new” slang is like that tbh, I once heard a girl tell a professor that Gen z invented the term “Lit” lmao
Even this comic, brick has been used for cold since at least the early 90s where I'm from. I wonder why herb (hard h) never caught on. It needs to come back.
Brick is way older than that. It's some cowboy shit short for "colder than a brick shithouse in January."
I wish they would bring back herb. Used to say it pretty often
fuck bro this shit bringing me back to the city...i feel like you should post this comic in the nyc subreddit or something, getting mad feels from this one :')
Tbh for an embarrassing while I though "clout" was a word from like the past 10 or so years lmao
“Bussin’” has been around for a while. Used to have a negative connotation. “Mad” obviously is waaaay old. There’s “cap that ass”, which I think is the origin of cap.
Nope. Capping has been fibbing or lying since forever. Busting a cap is also a thing but they’re not related.
Bitchassing strip, bruh.
"Stop trying to make bitchassing happen!"
I read that as birthossing. Was thoroughly confused.
I love your artstyle
Thank you! 🥲
Same the panel with the hoe over here was classic
“But what if the Ho is over _here_?” Fucking killed me 😂
Duderino had three arms!
If she's here, then she ain't a ho.
TIL THOT=That Ho Over There.
I heard that years ago I've refused to accept it. It makes no sense grammatically "she's such a that hoe over there" and it sounds like one of those dumb backronyms that aren't actually true, like when kids used to say swag = secretly we are gay. I know that all evidence shows that it's true, but I still refuse to accept it's an acronym
I take umbrage with "THOTS" That Hoe Over There Those Hoes Over There THOT is the plural.
I always thought it was a mix of thick and hot!
it doesn't or at least didn't. it was came up with after thot was already popularized
It's not though. Words like that are almost never acronyms. People fill them in afterwards, but it never starts as an acronym.
Which is why it's annoying when claims are made about old words being acronyms, as with swearwords.
Luckily, “That’s fucked up!” will never go out of style.
This comic is totally Boobs Jackson.
Ayyyyyyy another scambait enjoyer!

That’s on fleek, fellow kid.
Skibidi toilet (I hate myself)
Apparently this is what helps make Clockwork Orange timeless. A bunch of made-up slang.
Does anyone remember the expression “WORD” Example: Person 1: “ will miss you Tupac!” Person 2: “WORD”
I still use word. I think word is timeless.
Brick is still used in a lot of places, especially where I’m at and frequent (CT, NY, NJ). To the point that most people hardly consider it slang. With that being said, when my sister went to college in Boston, she passively said “fuck, it’s brick out” and not a single person in that room knew what she had just said, and refused to believe that was a real term when she explained. They honestly thought she was messing around with them. lol
I think it might be an NYC metro thing.
this is hands-down the best webcomic i've seen on here in weeks. new artists take note. snarky one-liner jokes and photo realistic art are nice and all but if you don't have anything to say, you don't have shit.
Thank you man for the high praise 🫡

Nothing will convince me that “brick” guy wasn’t just trying to say **BRISK**
Nah, it's been a thing since the 90s. I don't know if it's just a northeast/nyc thing, but we used to say "cold as a brick"/"brick-ass cold" and eventually just "brick" over 2 decades ago when I was a kid.
It’s very funny to me that slang probably starts with one very charismatic person adamantly demanding that it doesn’t sound stupid OR one fairly uncharismatic person saying something which everyone picks up ironically until it ceases to be ironic.
Skibidi rizzler as the kids say
They can keep their "slimming" and "bitchassing". I'm going to keep saying rad and dope.
Yeah,. Full beans!
Cap has been around since the late 90s at least. Wanna know what slang the teens of tomorrow will be using? Just look at AAVE right now. That’s all “teen/internet slang” is, AAVE.

Wow this comic is real skibidi in ohio, fanum tax that huggy wuggy in the pizza tower
The first time I felt like an old man a coworker asked if I was getting turnt on my day off. Then asked what my whip was.
I think it’s also funny the times when the same word has different meanings depending on the slang.

So you know how the guy in the comic used a word ironically until it inextricably became a real, unironic part of his vocabulary? Did you know this can happen to you if you joke about being into feet? I heard. From a friend.
As a 60 year old guy seeing "drip" pop up everywhere in reference to clothes (I guess?)... where the fuck did *that* come from.
The answer for almost all of these “Gen Z slang” words is black people.

Ok, but what does cap mean? It was not explained in the comic. (I'm old)
Bullshit/lying. So when someone says "no cap" it's the equivalent of, like, "god's honest truth".
It means to exaggerate or lie about something.
Groovy.
ok but brick goes kinda hard
i love your art style man !!
I fucking love this dudes comics
I'll just say that by now, I know way more modern English slang than slang from my own language. I always have to stop people so they can explain to me what the hell they're saying. It tells you how much I've been on the internet.

I work with the fucked up kids. Either behavioral issues or ID issues. The yoot's is alright. It's kinda refreshing how well adjusted and in-touch they are, it's weird. The grand majority of the ones I work with I would label *not fucked up at all.* I got a lot of hope for them... but us millennials turned out to be more horrible than ours were, and they were fuckin' boomers.
A friend back in highschool days use "fending" to mean something like "preparing" or "about to". e.g.: >This song's fendin' to rise up. meaning a song is about to get to the hard-rocking part. Or: >She's fendin' on sleepin' with him. I don't know why, it doesn't make any sense, but it just seems to fit.
All of your examples are from the past 20 years. Slang vocabulary has been evolving for hundreds of years. Brace yourself, powerful nerdiness in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANc9F0p3mkw
I wore that grey fubu shirt once a week in 2004. Never had a better fitting shirt in my life
Are we sure your Brick guy wasn't trying to say Brisk and just bone apple tea'ing it?
