A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Insane o style will live forever
I just hope crashed out goes back to meaning going to sleep after an all-nighter.
I hope yeet never dies.
I will not let yeet die
"Cool" is eternally cool.
67 might still get ironic reactions like millennials do for 69.
I do like the joke of being able to do cross generational references with "68 +- 1".
This is my guess too. I personally knew of some examples dating back to the 70s using it, but apparently 'coolness' as a term has been around since at least the 15th century.
This is easy. All you have to do is hang out with black people. What they're saying now is what white people will adopt in 10 years. Black people will be forced to adopt new slang, and the cycle continues.
Black people are not biological poets. It's just that they live in the position to easily see mainstream culture for what it really is because it's not for them. They also understand white culture through media immersion.
Black people have an advantage over culture and language because they must be bilingual to get by.
"FUCK OFF" is timeless.
I bet people will still be saying "streets ahead"
Hadn't heard that one yet. How's it used?
If you haven't heard of it you're streets behind, buddy.
(Check out the show Community.)
Nah, if I have to watch TV to learn the lingo, I'll go ahead and fall behind on that one.
Well it IS verbal wildfire.
I could see "rizz" having some staying power. Longer than Ohio and skibidi anyway.
modern slang is just black slang from a decade ago, recycle and repeat
Are skibidi and Ohio'ing even a thing now?
With under 10 yo, yes. Not sure about ohioing though.
They existed?
Never heard of ohio'ing
Sup, you wanna Oklahom’ with me… baby?
68±1
I think skibidi will still be a thing as it existed long before this.
Remember "SKIBIDI BOP MM DA DA" from long ago? I do. I think this codified it more than anything.
67 I am mixed on but lean toward it still existing long in the future.
As for other zoomer and alpha slang? I feel "type shit" is gonna survive, "gigachad" will survive, and things like "ate" and "left no crumbs" and "sigma" will not.
Now let us wait 10 years to see how I am wrong about all of this as I usually tend to be bad at predicting things.
I’ve never heard that.
IMO the big part of surviving is recognizability. An inside joke or something that requires more than surface level understanding (Which 67 falls into even if that inside joke is that it doesnt mean much of anything.) isn't going to make the cut.
With that in mind, "Type shit" deffo makes sense, since it exists as practically a interjection that just confirms you're listening, like "yup".
