My school district is WAY smarter than this, all the teachers and staff just start saying the words more than the kids do until they think it's corny.
This
Making lists like that is authoritarian and won't work. Making the words worthless works
Maybe this is why republicans watch child porn so they think it's corny and nobody else does it anymore.
I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.
Unironically started saying hella after life is strange made me cringe out of my fucking seat when the characters say it.
Reclaim it like slurs. Lmfao
I have been saying "groovy" for as long as I have been aware that the word existed, and that's early 70s
Lol that's hella awesome
I say hella every day. Slang accentuates speech and makes it fun, so I use a lot of it. Not an obnoxious amount, though. Gotta get the slang amount just right, just like swearing. It's an art.
I don't use skibidi because it's too long to easily work into sentences casually. Also it's a really fucking dumb word that feels wrong saying. Like I tried it a few times and cringed so hard I thought I was gonna flip inside out or some shit. My soul started leaving my body.
I can imagine that working, actually.
As a teacher, I can attest that it works beautifully.
