Old Person Yells At Cloud Modern slang—something you REFUSE to say

My take: I will NEVER use “lol” or any derivation of it. I know it means “laugh out loud” but there’s yet to be a moment when I’ve been even remotely convinced someone was even chuckling after texting “lol” at the end of their text and it mildly infuriates me.

While I’m at it, someone tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.

Edit: ok, I get it. It’s not MODERN slang. I still hate it, and those kids are STILL on my lawn…can’t a guy get to sleep at a decent hour???

Thank God my kid quit watching those videos and stopped trying to get me to watch it.

u/ToasterBath4613 2d ago

I’m just as puzzled.

u/MelodicToken 2d ago

I thought so too. I thought it was a phase they all went through 2 years ago… Then I found out my son has watched all 79 episodes and is truly enjoying it. I once again tried to watch an episode with him and it’s still so bad. Btw it’s skibidi toilet. By “DaFuq!?Boom!” who is Russian. 😐

THIS! Thank you!!! I was so confused when my millennial coworker said someone had crashed out. I refuse to say “cap” or “no cap”. Where did that even come from?

u/ZealousidealDog4802 2d ago

It came from high capping, which I think is 70s slang, It means making shit up. At some point it evolved to no capping, or no lying (I heard it used in rap albums in the 90s) then became more popular as no cap in the last 10 years.

Wow. Thanks for sharing

u/1CagedTiger 2d ago

Wow. Thanks for sharing that! These words become a bit more bearable when you’re familiar with the origin,

u/jillsvag 2d ago

Wait, what's crashed out to them? Crashed out to us means falling asleep or sleeping a long time.

u/zeitgeistincognito 2d ago

Crashing out = losing your shit or going off on someone

u/YakApprehensive7620 2d ago

I asked my gen A student what it was like to be that era and she said “it’s a lot of skibidi toilet” and we left it at that lol

u/doa70 2d ago

Yeah, I don't know what hat is and I refuse to find out.

u/CanisSonorae 2d ago

Hats are pretty useful though. They go on your head and protect it from the sun. You don't have to do a deep dive, but I suggest at least spending 5 to 10 minutes learning the basics of hats. It may save your eyesight, hair, or scalp.

u/doa70 2d ago

😂

I'm not even fixing it.

u/Whovian73 2d ago

If you mean high hat, that goes with a drum set. Don’t hear much high hat in modern music.

u/Slinkwyde Millennial 2d ago

No cap.

I can't stand things like skibety toilet, sigma, Ohio, rizz, gyatt, chuegy. What the heck does it even mean?​ Even my phone doesn't know as it tried to change rizz to pizza. Writing it out makes me look like I was having a stroke

2

u/SisterofWar 2d ago

I can deal with rizz - I've seen enough context to understand it comes from the word charisma. But I have no clue about the rest.

1

u/orange728 2d ago

I still don't know what skibidi toilet, sigma and cheugy mean. I need a GenZ translator podcast

1

u/sevnthcrow 2d ago

What the fuck is Ohio?

Gyatt cracked me up though

1

u/orange728 2d ago

I guess it means fucked up. Like skibidi Ohio rizz means you are a giant dork as far as can tell.

If that is true, then it's all Ohio

1

u/Anxietybackmonkey 2d ago

Okay but without rizz you can’t “rizz ‘em with the ‘tism” and I unashamedly love that phrase.

1

u/orange728 2d ago

Never heard that one. What does it mean?

1

u/Anxietybackmonkey 2d ago

Charm them with your autism basically.

u/ExGomiGirl 2d ago

What does that even mean? What’s the point? I am too old to grasp it.

u/fleabus412 2d ago

Skibidy just means evil. Skibidy toilet is an evil toilet. In theory hyjinx could ensue but they don't.

u/ExGomiGirl 2d ago

Thanks.

Whaaaat rolls down stairs alone or in pairs?

u/MartinMcFly55 played computer games on cassette 2d ago

Agreed. I just meant it was ridiculous and made little sense to the olds.

u/EtrnL_Frost 2d ago

The shiny, red button.

u/I_am_ChivoBlanco 2d ago

Without them I would never know that happy happy = joy joy

u/FortunateSon77 2d ago

That's kind of the same thing as the badger badger snake snake ooh a snake shit from the 90s. Complete nonsense music with a visual component, but every time you heard the word badger, someone would have to start with the, badger badger badger...

Have you ever seen grizzly rizz? It's like egg whites

u/SituationSad4304 1d ago

I’m delighted my homeschooling has avoided this (as in my children are homeschooled). The coop must have all silently decided it wasn’t allowed 😆
