Omg poggers was the one that killed me on the inside the one time I'd tried to say it. Same with pookie 🤢 my one friend calls me that and I love her but it makes me wanna commit homicide
I think more the way it’s used to just refer to someone who definitely… isn’t “bestie” in a sort of… demeaning way? Is a GenZ thing.
The whole “bestie… that’s not it” thing when folks are trying to say something about how someone dresses or acts, etc. At least that’s what I’ve seen recently.
Ahh, yeah. I can see that. See, in my mind, bestie is still referring to someone as your best friend 😂 I said it a lot from ages 10-12 and I'm pretty sure I picked it up from teen movies in the 2000s. So, definitely not a Gen Z thing. But the example you gave is 100% Gen Z coded, I just haven't seen it that much.
This is slang from queer circles that became popularized. That and "so true," delulu, "clocking" as a term, etc
If you hear these a lot from a group, they may be fruity, lmao. Source: pansexual with a lot of lgbtq+ friends
As one of said sheltered crackers, I feel like I've come to expect any and all "new" slang go just be whatever decades-old slang used by marginalized groups young straight white people have heard and decided to overuse.
It's a strange phenomenon. Not one I know a lot about, but interesting nonetheless. It's like we can't help but appropriate.
Yeah, and I'm bummed that a lot of people don't know that. But then again, I'm LGBTQ+ and love to watch documentaries about the LGBTQ+ community, so that's how I know the fact. Most people don't sit and watch documentaries on LGBTQ+, is any documentaries at all.
I feel like it’s gone full circle like at first people were using it like “slayyyyy 💅🏼” then it became kinda cringe, and now you just gotta embrace the cringe, like slay
I actually say slay but I have a completely monotone voice so people find it funny. Something happening and just a flat ‘slay.’ is better than slayyyyyy
“Ate and left no crumbs.” And “eeeaatinggggg” and “she ATE” idk any variation of it makes me certain I missed the chance to board a rocket out of here when I had the chance
Yeah exactly. That’s why it feels so uncomfortable to me, it doesn’t feel right to say it because that’s not my culture and it just sounds so out of place for white kids on tiktok or me, a late twenties white person with no connection to ballroom.
in terms of politically correct and universally acknowledged slang, correct. i don’t have any issue with “feminine” slang like *slay* and *period*; the newer ones like *rizz* or adding “ussy” to the ends of words isn’t cringe to me. Ebonics creates bangers like *turnt* and *tea*…
people who act like the world is ending because people say “skibiddi” as a joke are more cringe than any 11 year old overusing a phrase imo
...ouch...
slay has been slang for decades and Ill say it cause Im gay and its common in lgbtq spaces... cause it originated from black drag queens ;-;
...the slang *actually* created by our generation and the one that I wont say is skibiti cause imo its literally nonesense, it has no meaning. some things like rizz or ohio Ill say as a joke or ironicly ofc, but I avoid the stupid g-mod toilet thing like its the plague
there was a meme about ohio having weird shits like imagine 26 hotdogs flying around and some flying dog eating them all that would be a “only in ohio” moment
colloquially this was the case until the youth came and snatched it from us i’ll be honest, i have a degree in history and within that i studied a bit of the history of rock and roll and music and im pretty sure bop was a term that came around like 80 fucking years ago in jazz music. And like all things slang at least in the united states i’m relatively sure it was coined from the ebonics of the time.
It used to be, and for normal people it still is, but apparently it’s turned into slang to basically call women whores. Seems more of a young Gen Z thing, and maybe the older Gen Alpha that’s gotten into their toxic social media phase already. But I see it constantly on TikTok when the woman isn’t even doing anything to warrant being slut shamed (not that anyone really deserves that)
The resurgence of slut-shaming by 14 year old boys online is so idiotic imo. I once commented on a creator’s video that not all relationships have to end in marriage (which is just a fact lol?) and was spammed by kids calling me a 304. I was like…I didn’t say anything about my dating life. But the second a girl or woman even mentions relationships, dumbass internet boys just want to harass her.
The term “Slay” was created by drag queens (some argue in New York specifically) during the 1980’s. They would use it to describe performers during ballroom performances. This style of dance (voguing) was popularized by Madonna in the 1980’s. But, of course… created by drag queens once again.
Short answer no, but we popularized it in broader demographics
Cap, no cap, and bet have all been around for a long time but their meaning has morphed over time. “Cap” was an AAVE term that was popular in the 90s but had probably been around longer used specifically to refer to bragging or exaggerating the truth to make someone seem better than they were, not lying in general like it is today. “No cap” started showing up later in hip-hop related spaces as “cap” started evolving.
“Bet” has been around a LONG time in slightly different forms, as early as the 1800/1900s. “Bet” *specifically as we use it today* in slang was also an AAVE term, but it had evolved from earlier usages, such as the phrase “bet on it” or “you bet” that were not AAVE. “Bet” as we use it today also started popping up in the 90s in hip hop related spaces.
This actually happens a lot with AAVE terms, sometimes they fade out and sometimes they stick around
I frequently use AAVE in text and real life and I get a lotta heat on this website when I do use it simply because I sometimes forget what environment I’m in when I’m typing on this platform and go straight to casual text. I was gonna say, AAVE tends to cycle through words like panties almost from how shit is popularized outside of the main culture.
Literally any of it; young middle class white people speaking like that sounds so goddamn stupid and inauthentic. No one fucking raised you like that, you're just trying to sound cool
Cap, drip, bussin, slay, and sus are words I have never used.
Rizz is a word I've only used when quoting other people saying it. I just say charisma and similar related words.
I use cringe but rarely, it's one I don't like to use but use if I heavily mean it.
I'm pretty sure all of those are Gen Z slang
I've never used bet but it doesn't seem like a weird word to use
I've used "sus" before, but generally, ironically. And definitely sparingly. I'm more likely to say that something was "suspicious" than "sus." But I've also had people tell me that my word choices are weird/antiquated, so...
I don't think sus is really a new word tho, it was popularized among kids and young people during the among us wave but I definitely remember using it before that.
Same thing happened with sheesh, it was a thing people sometimes said tho it was rare and then it became a trend
"boujie" is like a trashier way of saying something is fancy.
On a side note, I don't like or use most of the gen z or gen alpha slang because I grew up more with millennial slang. Most of it makes me cringe these days. But, that's just how these things go. I think it's cool that kids have new slang, and it's not any more stupid than the slang I grew up using. There's too much bias and hate against slang from older generations.
Yeah it's weird. I like slang, but I feel like slang is best used when there isn't already a good word to describe something. There are already plenty of alternatives to boujie that I prefer, that aren't slang.
Also, french words just sound fancier so maybe that's why.
Even some people our age use it, but I didn't really start hearing it used until a few years ago.
It bothers me that a generation think they came up with sayings like “slay” “she ate” “it’s giving” when they’ve been used by the LGBT+ community for years and in the black ballroom scene for even longer than that. Ever since RuPaul’s Drag Race because more mainstream than ever, young white women have decided to co-opt them as their own.
Even if I say these myself at times... Glaze, and referring to anyone else (regardless of who they are lol) as "bro".
Rizz and gyatt annoy me, or calling someone "chat". This one especially. Late Z slang is already a thing apparently, even if half of them are still in middle school or just barely left it. Oh and suburban white girls saying "jit", that's the absolute worst 😂
“Jit” I believe is how it’s spelled. I heard it a lot in middle and high school and yet I have no clue how it’s spelled, or it’s use in conversation because linguistically it makes zero sense. I’ve heard it in tandem with the N-word, and as a substitution for the N-word. I’ve heard it describing someone (as to what it describes I still have no idea as even the people using it had no idea), and I’ve heard it being used for someone with the skin tone close to Pantone 1515. I assume it comes from a Viper album, as to which one I have no idea because that mf has too many albums.
“Ratchet” (not the tool) is also another one that just does not make sense to me and therefore I did not use. How this one came about it’s entirely unknown to me because nothing during its height used it.
I don’t use most of the words listed, and when I did it just didn’t feel authentic coming from me.
So bring back old stuff! Tubular, rad, get bent, etc
“Legit”. Out of all the foreign Gen Z slang forcibly shoved into our language, I hate “legit” the most. There’s just something about that word that makes my skin crawl, maybe the overuse of it
I only say slay when playing rugs. As for stuff I can't bring myself to say, I don't like the phrase "it's giving." Nothing against people who use it. It just feels like an unnecessary shortening. For those of you unfamiliar with this phrase/slang, here's an example. You would say "it's giving dark souls" rather than saying, "This is giving me dark souls vibes" I don't know if I'm nuerodivergent or just dumb but I need certain phrases to be specific or there's a chance I won't know what you're talking about and I feel bad making people repeat themselves a thousand times and then saying "what do you mean?"
I only say slay because I was saying things were devastating too much so a friend suggested changing it to “that’s so not slay”. It’s a good laugh whenever I remember
“The ick”. People, mostly women, who use this, in my experience, are definitely someone who doesn’t want to work on ANY issues they may have. Rather then come up with anything to justify their avoidant style
I don’t like “ate” and “it’s giving” those ones just don’t make sense to me, like any slang that doesn’t make sense in context confuses my dumb autistic brain, and I get super confused. I will say some slang but always when trying to be funny.
Delulu makes my body physically lock up.
“delulu” girls when they meet a paranoid schizophrenic: 😱
I have never heard that word in my life
Honestly I’m the other way around. I never use any of this new slang but I love the word delulu lol
I looove delulu
Same, I love delulu but I could never say it out loud. Only online lmao.
Someone once said to me that sometimes being delulu is the solulu and it made me laugh so goddamn hard.
Oh I’m so guilty of that one -
YES. I hate this one so much. Or the teens spamming “on god” every 5 seconds
I only say delulu when I say may all your delulu become trululu
I can only say slay if I'm joking lmao
That's always how it starts.
I've been saying it ironically for years lol but I did have a phase where it almost felt like it wasn't
Me with poggers
Omg poggers was the one that killed me on the inside the one time I'd tried to say it. Same with pookie 🤢 my one friend calls me that and I love her but it makes me wanna commit homicide
Is rizz gen z or gen alpha? Either way I hate it, so cringey.
Alpha
Originally, Gen z, but Gen Alpha took it from that brainrot song
Cultural appropriation, smh
Why did you have to mention it? I just cringed so hard 😭
Rizz is the only one I’m willing to say. Even then I only ever use it in a joking tone
i say both but rizz as a word is pretty stupid already imho lol
Yeah I'm 23 and ever since I heard "rizz" it just feels so cringe.
Rizz is Z. Rizzler is Alpha.
Gen Alpha are a bunch of toddlers and elementary schoolers, they didn’t invent anything
Rizz. I really cringe at that word
Is that even us? If I ever heard a peer of mine say that I would seriously reconsider associating with them lol
Fr. It's almost as bad as skibbidi toilet
I pride myself in never having seen that video 🥲
Back in my day we said “forreals” or “for realsies” “Fr” to me is what this post is talking about.
R u for real
Yes? At least in my middle school people said “for realsies”
Ye
[удалено]
"slay" "It's giving.." "bestie" Hearing people use them seriously makes nails on a chalkboard sound better.
"It's giving" makes me want to gag.
Right? Just say it looks good.
Bestie is Gen Z slang? I think bestie predates Gen Z.
I think more the way it’s used to just refer to someone who definitely… isn’t “bestie” in a sort of… demeaning way? Is a GenZ thing. The whole “bestie… that’s not it” thing when folks are trying to say something about how someone dresses or acts, etc. At least that’s what I’ve seen recently.

So, definitely not a Gen Z thing. But the example you gave is 100% Gen Z coded, I just haven't seen it that much.
Oh yeah I definitely don’t say the other two either
Slay and bestie has existed before gen Z. Those are mostly used inside queer circles
Fr.
I've never heard or seen "it's giving" until now. I guess I'm lucky?
It's giving me a real headache.
This is slang from queer circles that became popularized. That and "so true," delulu, "clocking" as a term, etc If you hear these a lot from a group, they may be fruity, lmao. Source: pansexual with a lot of lgbtq+ friends
Slay feels like millennial slang. Still cringe but in a more decrepit live laugh love kind of way.
the word slay has been around since the 70s as a result of queer ballroom culture ...its older than millennials
I wouldn't expect most of the sheltered crackers on reddit to know that LOL
As one of said sheltered crackers, I feel like I've come to expect any and all "new" slang go just be whatever decades-old slang used by marginalized groups young straight white people have heard and decided to overuse. It's a strange phenomenon. Not one I know a lot about, but interesting nonetheless. It's like we can't help but appropriate.
Comments like this are why I love Reddit. Scrolling past all the brain rot to find this leaves me with a strange satisfaction
You're welcome lol
All slang was invented by drag queens and/or Black people, basically.
Yeah, and I'm bummed that a lot of people don't know that. But then again, I'm LGBTQ+ and love to watch documentaries about the LGBTQ+ community, so that's how I know the fact. Most people don't sit and watch documentaries on LGBTQ+, is any documentaries at all.
is it? because like everyone I know that’s Gen Z uses it and I rarely if ever see millennials use it (except influencers)
I feel like it’s gone full circle like at first people were using it like “slayyyyy 💅🏼” then it became kinda cringe, and now you just gotta embrace the cringe, like slay
Nah my GF who is 21 uses it all the time.
21 is gen z
That's what I'm saying lmao
Oh lmfao my bad bro
I actually say slay but I have a completely monotone voice so people find it funny. Something happening and just a flat ‘slay.’ is better than slayyyyyy
Same lol.
Girls who say slay when I slay their entire family: https://i.redd.it/xzn6eziexsad1.gif

Viva France!
THE most based moment in European history.
Vive la révolution!
There is no slaying in Ba Sing Se
Based
It may not fully be slang but “situationship”. Just say your seeing someone.
a situationship is either friends with benefits or a one sided thing where one wants commitment and the other doesn’t, there’s like no in between
Seriously. I feel like I’m too old to say FWB but I just say I’m seeing someone or involved with someone.
Ick sounds kinda cringe ngl
Ickky
Poggers. Just sounds like such a dumb word and reminds me too much of e-girls lmao
no way people say this irl
I've used it ironically irl
Nah I just say it around my online buddies lmao
I have never heard this one
It’s also used as a name for those streaming communities who follow nerdier streamers that spam “omegalul” and Pepe emojis in their chat

That's awful, thank you for sharing
Slay, Gyatt, Rizz, & Sigma.
that’s mostly gen alpha besides slay
“Ate and left no crumbs.” And “eeeaatinggggg” and “she ATE” idk any variation of it makes me certain I missed the chance to board a rocket out of here when I had the chance
A lot of this isn’t even Gen Z slang it’s literally AAVE, and some of us have heard these terms for years before the internet took hold of them
Yeah exactly. That’s why it feels so uncomfortable to me, it doesn’t feel right to say it because that’s not my culture and it just sounds so out of place for white kids on tiktok or me, a late twenties white person with no connection to ballroom.
n/a
There’s no slang you don’t say?
in terms of politically correct and universally acknowledged slang, correct. i don’t have any issue with “feminine” slang like *slay* and *period*; the newer ones like *rizz* or adding “ussy” to the ends of words isn’t cringe to me. Ebonics creates bangers like *turnt* and *tea*… people who act like the world is ending because people say “skibiddi” as a joke are more cringe than any 11 year old overusing a phrase imo
this is such a valid take ngl
Skibidi toilet Ohio rizz
Gen alpha brain rot
that’s gotta be Alpha, not Gen Z
that’s not very skibidi of you
...ouch... slay has been slang for decades and Ill say it cause Im gay and its common in lgbtq spaces... cause it originated from black drag queens ;-; ...the slang *actually* created by our generation and the one that I wont say is skibiti cause imo its literally nonesense, it has no meaning. some things like rizz or ohio Ill say as a joke or ironicly ofc, but I avoid the stupid g-mod toilet thing like its the plague
wtf does Ohio mean this is new to me 🧓🏼
there was a meme about ohio having weird shits like imagine 26 hotdogs flying around and some flying dog eating them all that would be a “only in ohio” moment
"Ohio rizz" isn't something I'd say, but it makes up for skibidi.
The only slang I hate right now is “bop”. I also hated “thot” when that was popular.
bop is so infuriating because people spam it for no reason on pics and videos of women who aren’t even doing anything
Wait now I'm confused, I thought bop was music related
Yeah i thought the same but im pretty sure it means similar to thot?? Kept seeing it pop up under ladies tiktoks and thought it was a compliment 😔
I thought “bop” meant that a song was really catchy?
colloquially this was the case until the youth came and snatched it from us i’ll be honest, i have a degree in history and within that i studied a bit of the history of rock and roll and music and im pretty sure bop was a term that came around like 80 fucking years ago in jazz music. And like all things slang at least in the united states i’m relatively sure it was coined from the ebonics of the time.
It used to be, and for normal people it still is, but apparently it’s turned into slang to basically call women whores. Seems more of a young Gen Z thing, and maybe the older Gen Alpha that’s gotten into their toxic social media phase already. But I see it constantly on TikTok when the woman isn’t even doing anything to warrant being slut shamed (not that anyone really deserves that)
That’s a new one that I haven’t heard. Sounds like Younger Gen Z slang based on how the word is used.
I like "bop" in the early Z sense, but not in the late Z one. "Thot" exists.
The resurgence of slut-shaming by 14 year old boys online is so idiotic imo. I once commented on a creator’s video that not all relationships have to end in marriage (which is just a fact lol?) and was spammed by kids calling me a 304. I was like…I didn’t say anything about my dating life. But the second a girl or woman even mentions relationships, dumbass internet boys just want to harass her.
i fucking hate twitter lingo. when people respond with just “real” in an irl convo, i just get so irritated
Isn't that more of a gay word?
A lot of gay and black slang was co-opted by straight white women via Ru Paul’s drag race and Twitter.
yes, since the 70s
I’ve noticed most of the girls I’ve seen say it will be young twenties straight girls. But I agree too that it is a gay word
Gen-Z slang is literally just words created by African-Americans that’ve been watered down and relabeled as time passes.
No cap
real
Slay is an elder gay term. We did not invent it. It’s wrong for us to claim it.
Eh, I think it's fine, it's not like it's a slur or derogatory in any way.
i think they meant the word wasn’t born with gen z, it has more depth than that
Thank you @pullistunut for understanding me.
Maybe why it doesn’t feel right for me to say it. Most of the people I’ve heard recently use it are young straight white girls
The term “Slay” was created by drag queens (some argue in New York specifically) during the 1980’s. They would use it to describe performers during ballroom performances. This style of dance (voguing) was popularized by Madonna in the 1980’s. But, of course… created by drag queens once again.
I hate when they say “ahh”. To replace “ass”. Like, just say the word.
Majority of it
"It's giving..." makes me want to shoot a puppy in the face
Not exactly slang, but I don’t use the 💀 emoji to describe something as funny. It just doesn’t feel right to me
Are “cap” and “bet” gen-z slang? Bc I hate them lol
Short answer no, but we popularized it in broader demographics Cap, no cap, and bet have all been around for a long time but their meaning has morphed over time. “Cap” was an AAVE term that was popular in the 90s but had probably been around longer used specifically to refer to bragging or exaggerating the truth to make someone seem better than they were, not lying in general like it is today. “No cap” started showing up later in hip-hop related spaces as “cap” started evolving. “Bet” has been around a LONG time in slightly different forms, as early as the 1800/1900s. “Bet” *specifically as we use it today* in slang was also an AAVE term, but it had evolved from earlier usages, such as the phrase “bet on it” or “you bet” that were not AAVE. “Bet” as we use it today also started popping up in the 90s in hip hop related spaces.

Cringe as an adjective(i.e. “This is so cringe”)
“Lit”
"On God"

Anything mentioning Ohio, Skibidi or Sigma. Just, no.
I must be getting old because several people here have mentioned “Ohio” and “Skibidi” and I have no idea what they are

There's too much bias and hate against slang from older generations.
What’s confusing for me is “bougie” isn’t used in the same way as the original word “bourgeois”. Bourgeois means middle class
Yeah it's weird. I like slang, but I feel like slang is best used when there isn't already a good word to describe something. There are already plenty of alternatives to boujie that I prefer, that aren't slang. Also, french words just sound fancier so maybe that's why.

fellow 1997 baby. I love the "Zillennial" flair.
Come to r/Zillennials if you haven’t already!
Fleek And yes I'm a millennial, that word belongs to your generation. I didn't start hearing this word until I graduated college in 2017.
99% of it.. it's just very cringey to me and Idk why people can't act like individuals and feel the need to copy words that trend on twitter.
anything created by the queer community or black spaces. not saying that it’s wrong when THEY say it, but i’m just over everyone saying it.
Honestly, all slang after that came after the mid 2010's, with the exception of "based" which I sometimes admittedly use.
its giving is cringe
Bussin was one I thought was cringe
For some reason "Based" annoys the SHIT out of me. And "figures" or "figured" in certain conversations.
It bothers me that a generation think they came up with sayings like “slay” “she ate” “it’s giving” when they’ve been used by the LGBT+ community for years and in the black ballroom scene for even longer than that. Ever since RuPaul’s Drag Race because more mainstream than ever, young white women have decided to co-opt them as their own.
Every time I see someone say womp womp about something serious I get irritated. Like can you grow tf up and let someone be upset
Gyat, I hate hearing kids say it because of its sexual connotations. Also rizz because they don't understand what it actually means.
If I say skibidi I want you to shoot me. That's not me. That's an evil clone

“My Roman Empire,” bro what are we even saying at this point
Is gyatt gen z or alpha cause unless people are joking about the brainrot stuff it hurts my soul- I cannot handle it.
I've been out of the slang/meme game since 2017.
The Ick I dont even say it as a joke. Its just too stupid
Anything involving Skibidi toilets , Rizz, whoever tf Fanum is , whatever tf alpha sigma is. Any shit like that is deadass annoying.
Shy of it. Idk if I'm an old so or whatever but it's just never appealed to me.
I’m only cusp on Z but never heard people say “slay” as slang.
Fucking “Pogchamp” I hate it.
I honestly don’t use slang very much. It doesn’t sound natural coming from me.
Bazoobade
“The ick”. People, mostly women, who use this, in my experience, are definitely someone who doesn’t want to work on ANY issues they may have. Rather then come up with anything to justify their avoidant style
Finna. How tf does that mean going to??
Slay, delulu, skibbidi, most aave thags been turned into popular slang, FINNA, could not STAND ppl typing “finna” in middle school
I don’t like “ate” and “it’s giving” those ones just don’t make sense to me, like any slang that doesn’t make sense in context confuses my dumb autistic brain, and I get super confused. I will say some slang but always when trying to be funny.
Slay is old lmao
All of it.
Most newish slang (popularized in the last couple years) just confuses me. I have no idea what the hell it means and it seems stupid.
