I'm old enough to experience slang which isn't native to my generation. But let me just say, this current generations slang is the shittest in a long time.
Previous gen slang (fam, lit, yeet) was a 6/10
Current gen slang (frfr, no cap, rizz) is 2/10
Next gen has such a low bar to beat, it'll be hard for them to fuck this up.
It was a misspelling of "Owned" in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.
As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
Sure, but what the hell happens to charismatic in this situation? Does that get shortened too, so now we've got people saying "Yo Zendaya is totally rizzmatic!". Or does everyone just need to re-arrange all sentences that would use charismatic so that only the noun form gets used and we avoid ever having to use it as an adjective?
I mean, Rizzmatic sounds awesome, I'm down to hear that variation. Language is constantly in flux. It has never stayed static. Multiple variations of 1 word just means you get to pick which one you like best
Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven't heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I'm old and a couple of them have "no cap" on jackets so I can't imagine that's a fresh one.
Pog has been around for years. But up until recent it has been pretty exclusive to streaming and esports. So I amagine it's easy to miss if you are not in that bubble. pwn is the only one on the list I've never heard before.
It was my understanding that pwn mean you are "owning" them in like a winning way. Like instead of Saying "I just owned you" when you win at something, you say "I just pwned you."
Am I way off? Does it have a new meaning? I'm so far out of the loop these days.
It’s an intentional misspelling of “own”. The letter p is next to o on the keyboard. I think it was meant to mimic the frantic typing of a sweaty competitive trash talker.
That's my understanding too. And because people kind of like the sound of it, they might use it slightly more broadly than that - but not as broadly as 'rad' or 'sick' or even 'pog'. I was there for the rise and demise of 'pwn', and it definitely was never as widespread as pog is now.
Pwn should be a few steps back
Pwn, pwned was so specific to gaming it shouldn't even be on the list.
And pog is specific to twitch in the gaming sphere, so the same logic would apply.
Not to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but gnarly was at least a decade before rad. Also, epic is nearly 2 decades later.
Cool.
Glad I'm not the only one.... The hell is it doing after epic?
Should be "let's go" then "no cap"
Epic for the win

I don't see the "delete someone else's comment" button anywhere.
Only appears on comments that aren't flawless.

Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.

"Player 1 was pwned."
For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
Sounds like you got pwned, noob.
I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.
However, it belongs to you all now!
Be free
And get rekt :p
Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.
..... I can't tell if you're serious or joking but since it's Lemmy I want to think you're serious and that's pretty fucking cool if it is, bud
Hello fellow pog, it is me, your ancestor :>
I mean I am like 37 so you're probably more like my brother haha
ITS HIM! GET HIM!!!!
Yeah,
pwnwas way beforeepicDid Pure Pwnage ever pay you rolalties?
Are you kidding me? No way. You can't trademark a word or a typo. That's dumb.
Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage
I still use rad and gnarly. Because those words are rad and gnarly.
I see this as an epic win
That's some wicked illness for real.
fr fr ong
That's pretty tubular of you
I've been called out for my overuse of the word rad before lmao
Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.
Anything for the gnar points
As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
Yeet and yoink are perfection.
Especially with how you pronounce yeet, I cannot think of another English word that is as fun to say
My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I'm like "oookayy I'll start saying it," it's way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like "..in the parlance of our times.."
That's the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It's one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
"Of course I know about fork-knife and Scooby-Doo toilet"
Precisely. Another fun subtle thing to do is add "the" to the term. Gives it an extra sense of dismissiveness. It ain't "TikTok", it's "the TikTok."
Or better yet, "the tikkity tok."
Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
This was me in high school. I even listened to boy bands ironically and then noticed I was singing them unironically.
Yeah once I learned Rizz is just charisma I wasn't so mad
I rizzed in with a W cap from Ohio 🎶
F'real
That hep cat’s rizz is putting the jelly in this pawg’s roll.
ate it
Rizz? Can we just send that word back to hell already?
I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a "MUH BAWLZ" Joke
Could just say charisma. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's not really how slang works
Have you really never shortened a word in your life?
Sure, but what the hell happens to
charismaticin this situation? Does that get shortened too, so now we've got people saying "Yo Zendaya is totally rizzmatic!". Or does everyone just need to re-arrange all sentences that would usecharismaticso that only the noun form gets used and we avoid ever having to use it as an adjective?I mean, Rizzmatic sounds awesome, I'm down to hear that variation. Language is constantly in flux. It has never stayed static. Multiple variations of 1 word just means you get to pick which one you like best
We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I'm gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.
"Go ahead and give me a roll on a DC15 rizz check..."
tbf, DnD groups were where I got a lot of my exposure to the newer generations words xD
I didn't know it came from Charisma. Makes sense
I mean, I cant confirm directly where it originated from. But it's used in the exact same way charisma is, and means basically the same thing
Aaah, that's hot
Flameo
My hotman
pog was also popular in the 90s tho
Remember pog? It's back!
In POG form!
but now it's Alf, remember Alf?
I'm actually glad that the zeitgest doesn't really remember Alf.
I'm a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old "pogs". Damn what a weird fad.
Still use gnarly. Get fucked, I'm never giving it up. Over my dead body
Sick, dude.
Totally righteous 🤙
Keep slayin.
I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.
Find isch auch porno
Rad
I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it
Oh I still have POGs around somewhere. Middle aged Americans can kill this quickly...
Alf Pogs?
Pog is like 3 years outa date we chillin with skibidi rizz rn
I like your funny words, magic man
Right now, "huge" is popping up a lot.
Big if true
Whats the timeline on these? I feel like pwn win and epic all happened at the same time. Also i dont see leet or '1337"
"Rad" and "gnarly," too.
I mean people didn’t entirely stop using them but those seem like 90's terms to me.
They are, 80s and 90s. I mean that they happened around the same time.
One way in the back should say “bees knees”.
And somewhere between it and "rad," "swell" and "far out."
"sweet" should be on there somewhere after the 80s slang.
Next to "bee's bollocks"
... and dog's bollocks.
Bully!
Capital, old chap
Simply smashing, what?
Dinkin flicka is not on this list and it makes me sad.
wicked
What a groovy meme, dude
Phat.

I accidentally used Pog in real live when a girl that I've grown really close to told me about her having a boyfriend.
I guess you're her little pogchamp, now.
Friendzone nah thats poggers her rizzler can have that gyat
Off to the side, begging to be let in: "fetch."
Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven't heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I'm old and a couple of them have "no cap" on jackets so I can't imagine that's a fresh one.
Lmao pwn is like 20 years old.
No fucking way. Is it pronounced like pawn? P-W-N? Was it more of a online text thing?
It’s pronounced like Owned with a P in front. It was just a msipelli g that took off.
I love me a good msipelli g

"No Cap" is Black slang. It's not done until Black People replace it with something else.
YEET!
KOBE!

Swish!
Hot Potato!

Not very sigma of you.

Pogs are pretty pwn.
Its all circular because pogs was first
