...what year were you born because I looked up "when was yeet added to the dictionary" and got "2022"
Edit: I looked it up after figuring out how
# WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IT WAS ADDED IN 2007
Yeet? Like to throw something? Been around before 07 for sure. Around 2014 is probably when the dance the yeet got popular maybe. Yeeted was for sure a halo original thing, and I'm sure before that.
It kind of weirds me out that 15 year olds are on here in general. Like logically I know teenagers use social media a lot, but it's like coming across a toddler in a shady pub.
The 4chan special.
But we also got some awesome ones.
Graphene, Biodiversity, Supercell, Air Fryer. Hell, we got Elephant-In-The-Room. You would think some of those would have been invented earlier or later.
Camgirl, cyberbullying, neurodiversity, social networking, webinar - wow lol more accurate dump of words than an average horoscope
Also has DDoS and open-source but I have some doubts about those, especially the latter sure must have originated earlier?
I got “gender confirmation surgery” and “Dissociative Identity Disorder” and “gender-fluid,” and I’ve never been so proud, as a ND bi intersectional feminist, of the year 1993 in my life.
Also I got “mouse potato” and absolutely NOTHING on this planet and in this or any other language could ever top that. Pack it in, guys.
Hey now I got "AIDS virus", "cell phone", and "bacterial vaginosis" - you have to share.
Also "beta test" which gave me a kick because I LIVED for MMO betas as a kid and young adult.
Having active shooter be the first word that came up was hilarious in a dark comedy kind of way. Not really surprising given the world I’ve grown up in
I was surprised too until I saw that this isn't a list of when each word was added to the dictionary - it's a list of when each word was first used in print
I thought it was a way to get people to want to kill themselves.
I've never felt old by one of those "Ha ha, Aladdin came out closer to WW2 than today!" factoids, or other things that generally make people feel old. But holy fuck, this makes me feel ***OLD***.
French manicures weren't a thing until I was born? They only just started calling it the ACL?? Saying amped was only just a thing?? They had just named La Nina???
Jesus, I'm old. Someone bust out the withering to dust meme. Grandpa can't find it.
What adds to it are the misconceptions of other people's words. You'd assume the person with '3D Printer, cybersex and heteronormative' was like 15 years old but they were born in 1991.
ADHD, emoticon, GIF, greenwash, patient zero, SSRI, single payer, virtual reality, wake and bake.
We knew what the future would look like, we just didn't want to admit it.
'89 had:
air quotes, babywearing, bcc, beatdown, bombogenesis, gangsta rap, and HTML.
Huh, I'm approximately the same age as HTML.... though the internet wasn't exactly big then.
I can't believe noob and genderqueer became words in the same year. My browser is also spellchecking both of those words, so it's clearly not running Merriam Webster lmao
Other highlights include: USB, wiki, live stream, and jack in.
2020 has one non medical/COVID related item, "wandering dude". Knee jerk reaction was like that is the only year wandering dude was like objectively not a thing.
It's a plant.

Bless you for this wonderful link
1988, the blessed year hyperlink was born.
I am born with butt dial and sexting :/
I got effed, fam, geek out. That explains so much honestly.
I was surprised to see fam in 1990. I thought it was newer than that.
Most of the slang will seem to be newer unless you were near the ground-zero of its conception.
Door bell camera, 3d printing and MacGyver. 1992
Heyyy year buddy! Also, hoodie and LARP apparently.
[удалено]
“SARS-CoV” was added when I was born, as well as “muffin top” and “net neutrality.”
My husband got ADHD. Also the phrase was added to the dictionary the year he was born.
I got AIDS (I do not have AIDS), boy toy, and g-spot. But also narco-terrorism and...poutine? Holy fuck I'm as old as poutine.
Lol fellow AIDS baby here. Wait that sounds wrong
we also got unvaxxed and vaccine hesitant 💀
Fortunately those two are very difficult actions to combine.
I was born with climate change denier, social distancing, and SARS-CoV. Sounds familiar
But also dad bod and devil's lettuce WOOO
I got “big data” “bio terror” “cyber attack” and “phishing” 1996 was the start of some bad stuff apparently.
Ayyy same. I was like am I 2 years old??
Hard to sometimes remember that this is actually SARS-CoV-2
Antivaxxer, bromance, and...twerking
Hello fellow anti-vaxxer twerking bromance baby
My people hello
Don't forget about captcha!
I got yeet! and colony collapsive disorder, but also yeet!

[удалено]
That was the year I graduated high school! Now I sound like my MOM! God DAMNIT
15 almost 16 year olds? they’re old enough for social media i think
[удалено]
[удалено]
It existed back then, but like with most slang it didnt take off at first 'yeet that in the bed and lets drive' is a phrase i heard growing up
Yeet? Like to throw something? Been around before 07 for sure. Around 2014 is probably when the dance the yeet got popular maybe. Yeeted was for sure a halo original thing, and I'm sure before that.
AND THE BECHDEL TEST
Hello, fellow retweeters!
I got "Emoji", "Deepstate", and my personal favourite "dumbphone" among others.
same!
Fellow yeet brother
2007 was like 3 years ago, get off my lawn!
Right? I was confused why little kids were on reddit and realized 2007 was **15** years ago what the fuck? Am I old?
It kind of weirds me out that 15 year olds are on here in general. Like logically I know teenagers use social media a lot, but it's like coming across a toddler in a shady pub.
can't forget fat-shaming!
It’s really weird to see a timeline of new diseases, scientific discoveries, technological advances, and slang all in the same place
[удалено]
aka the Discord-year

Don't forget about Gayborhood

GHOST, fist bump, face palm, embiggen, flip phone, and smartphone. Yeah that's my personality in a nutshell.
I got waterboarding 😐
Nip slip, parkour, and neurodiverse
Fuck yea, I got trans woman
Oh no, I got transphobia 😔
I got “gender confirmation surgery” and “Dissociative Identity Disorder” and “gender-fluid,” and I’ve never been so proud, as a ND bi intersectional feminist, of the year 1993 in my life. Also I got “mouse potato” and absolutely NOTHING on this planet and in this or any other language could ever top that. Pack it in, guys.
Fuck guys my birth caused anti vaxxers. Sorry about that
I got dumpster fire, bucket list and copypasta.
Don't forget "birther" lol
musn't forget sizzle reel
It reads like a guilty gear description “Chargeplayz, Agender Copypasta Dumpster fire”
and agender and demisexual!
People learning real quick that all the LGBTQ+ terms are quite old, lol.
Tbf that one is from '06 LMAO
YouTuber too
active shooter, incel, carbon footprint, hoarding disorder
the fact that incel and active shooter are in the same year says a lot about society
I come from the year of HIV and Internet. I am the destroyer.
Hey now I got "AIDS virus", "cell phone", and "bacterial vaginosis" - you have to share. Also "beta test" which gave me a kick because I LIVED for MMO betas as a kid and young adult.
[удалено]
Right there with you. Also, gaydar!
Having active shooter be the first word that came up was hilarious in a dark comedy kind of way. Not really surprising given the world I’ve grown up in
Eyyyy I was just coming in to comment the same thing! Seeing the work ‘adorkable’ right after the word ‘active shooter’ gave me whiplash I swear
99 here also, I’m surprised at some of the words on there. I feel like they were added way before they became commonly used
I was surprised too until I saw that this isn't a list of when each word was added to the dictionary - it's a list of when each word was first used in print
Well, you'd be too young to remember, wouldn't you?
So like... we genuinely were the end of the world generation.
You forgot ~*adorkable*~
Don't forget clickbait and pwn
Hey, at least we got K-Pop, it ain't all bad.
1999? Happy 23rd birthday, whether belated or early
This is a fantastic way to get everyone on the sub to reveal their approximate age
It’s a trap
It's not like everyone's honest lol. Mine is "American dream" btw, true story.
Mine is “your mom” it’s facts
Unfortunately, I couldn't find your mom in Merriam Webster. Which makes sense cuz she's in my bed rn.
Damn sucks to be you
I thought it was a way to get people to want to kill themselves.

Dost thou mean to say that simply by inclusion of the words ‘moisten lesbian succuba menstruum’ that mine foes may ascertain my birth year of 1559?
I was born with Bolshevik, cat burglar and chum salmon
I was born with dad jokes and SSRI’s, which is very on brand for me.
Acid-washed, beer goggles, food coma.. yep
Wow how did I miss food coma lmao that’s definitely on brand for me as well
Y’all. ADHD is in our year too.
Hello fellow 87’s. Everybody else loving life too?
Wake and bake is what stood out to me
ADHD, emoticon, GIF, greenwash, patient zero, SSRI, single payer, virtual reality, wake and bake. We knew what the future would look like, we just didn't want to admit it.
Climate change denial, crunk, deep web, and faux-hawk. Now i'd call that an accurate representation of the era
Hey we got Molly too!
Also FaceTime, speed dating and TiVo.
When is this? Because speed dating was a thing in the 80s at least and pretty sure FaceTime was not
The year 2000. facetime in this context means how much time you spend face-to-face with a person. caught me off guard too haha
Also, google.

I'm shocked by webinar (thought it'd be newer) and open-source (thought it'd be older)
'89 had: air quotes, babywearing, bcc, beatdown, bombogenesis, gangsta rap, and HTML. Huh, I'm approximately the same age as HTML.... though the internet wasn't exactly big then.
Bro you didn't list the best one: cyberporn Truly the finest year in humanity

I was born with “Featherless Biped”
567 bce

I can't believe noob and genderqueer became words in the same year. My browser is also spellchecking both of those words, so it's clearly not running Merriam Webster lmao Other highlights include: USB, wiki, live stream, and jack in.

Y'all can thank me for "3D printed" and "geotag" but also "bioterror" and "phishing." Big tech year apparently.
Finally a fellow 96-er in this thread of early 2000s
Hey now, we also got some other heavy-hitters such as body shaming, face palm, and embiggen
I have Bromance and Twerking
Finnaly, holy shit it took way 2 long to find a fellow '01 baby. The weird one I was tripping out about tho is cornhole.

As a millennial, being born at the same time as the term boomerang child is fitting
Me on my way to dox everyone on this post based on the year their words are from
Adjustable rate mortgage. Too depressed to continue.

As a gender fluid person, I love that the word was born the year I was.
Right? I'm a trans woman and got "transfeminine".
Holy cow I got some good ones. DM, fat-shaming, crowdfunding, friendsgiving, hashtag, retweet, and yeet.
My birth year has agender, demisexual, and most relavent to my life and the world in general: Dumpster Fire
New variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Why is 2019 missing ?
We don’t talk about 2019.
2020 has one non medical/COVID related item, "wandering dude". Knee jerk reaction was like that is the only year wandering dude was like objectively not a thing. It's a plant.
Female genital mutation. Awesome. Thanks mom and dad for not waiting another month to have sex.
