Make it stop.

I don't remember getting any new slang as a kid.
- Yeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.
  90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly
- That's because to you it was just normal.
- What I remember from the 90/00s: sinch, hella, coolio, jam (going), spaz, poser, chillax, bitchin, burn, noob, booyah, aight, duh, phat, sup, stoked, jiggy, harsh, buzz kill
  There's a shitton more, but that's what I got off the top of my head
- You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn't stand out against everything else the same way it does when you're older.
- Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You had to learn it at some point. You weren’t born with a lexicon of slang that revealed itself when it suddenly became modern/relevant lol
- 80s had a ton.
I did not, for I was a loser who didn't know slang
No shot fellow cool kid
Watching millennials/gen x pick on Gen Z for the same behaviors we all had gets old doesn’t it?
- And the kids playing tag are likely not even gen z but gen alpha. No one can even pick on the right generation.
Fr, no cap
- True dat
Dude practically became a verbal tick
You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don't think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.

GenX here. Kids enjoying doing kid things even if we don't understand why they do that hurts no one? Keep it up, kids. You're doing fine. No cap.

she freak on my gyatt till I baby gronk
- Damn I bet she hit you with that hawk ptui fr fr.
- Is this true?
For riz.
Am i doing it right?
- I... I don't know. I DON'T KNOW !

A lot of my friends complain about about the "youth", how they dress and talk and stuff like that. I always found that odd, because i for example had either a bleached blonde mushroom haircut or bleach blonde spiked up hair. Paired with a way too big fubu shirt and weird baggy pants. They weren't jinkos, but very close.
I have no ground to stand on when i make fun of young people and i know that. Why don't my friends remember how ridiculous we were at 14?
- If they're like some of my family, they see the lived-in familiarity of their youth as "quirky" in contrast to the unfamiliarity of today's youth which is "bizarre". They eased into the bizareness of being a child over time, whereas they are getting dropped in the deep end when they encounter children now.
  It's all silly. Everyone is quirky and weird on some level. Some are just more open and honest about it than others and successive generations have been pushing more to be themselves.
In the 2000s my brother asked our grandma to wrap a gift for his crush. She wrote something like "You're quite the foxy young lady" and that was a good day for laughs.

I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.

If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said 'flush.'

I miss the toilet game haha

When we played it you also had to go down on one knee, and the person unfreezing you had to sit on your knee while they flushed your arm.

I actually love these new slangs! Based.

Lit FR FR

The emotional damage of simultaneously realising that you are old and understanding all the people you laughed at for yelling "get off my lawn"

Like... tables?
- Or like bussy?

How would one rizz someone else? Basically, what is rizzing?

rizzing is effectively flirting with someone. and I don't mean like "it has the effect of flirting" I mean you flirt with someone, and it's being effective.
- Aka abbreviated "charisma."
Don't ask the children, they don't know either
- 🚸
And is "mew" just making a cat noise or something more?
- A technique attributed to a British orthodontist named Mike Mew that involves putting pressure on the roof of your mouth with your tongue to try and change the shape of your face by moving your maxilla up and forwards with the lateral pressure of your tongue. This fits into the broader looksmax approach to self-modification in the name of love and romance.
  Stacy "Yh Chad has some nice ass jaw now. He's been mewing for 6 months now"
  https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mewing
- you do it so you can mog
Outside of tag (I guess), it's like chatting someone up.
- So to unfreeze them they’d have to like, “How you doin?”

Thats not even what it means.

STOP!
STOP, UPON ME!
FORCE THE TOOLS AVAILABLE!
YES... I'M ALRIGHT...!
BWA HAHA HAHA HAHA...!

And kids at the Catholic school play jizz tag.

Even had some mewing going in the break room at work last night

What's everyone's take on mewing?

It seems to make sense to me.

I've seen others say it's bullshit.

I started doing it periodically a few weeks ago, and I just had an oral bone spur break through my gums from a tooth extraction I had over ten years ago.

So it makes me think the mewing changed something in my lower jaw enough for some fragments of bone to come loose and make their way out.

Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.

Let's start with you then.
- Done. I don't have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.
  In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn't be.
I do not see the connection between kids using slang and illiteracy. I’m guessing you never use(d) any yourself?
Also good luck prohibiting kids from the internet lol clearly someone doesn’t have kids!
- Their parents give them devices so they don't have to deal with them. That's how this slang spreads to them. Do you think 6-10 year olds devoloped "mew?" It was grown ass "influencers" and it spread through media.
Do you mean half of the world's children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?
Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.
- Literacy, in my country, which is specified because it is the origin of the slang in the meme. You really thought you had a gotcha, there, didn't you?
If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.
—some embittered philosopher probably
- What a "damn kids these days" quote
"Kids can't read" is certainly a take. 😂
