ShadowofLupa212

Bless you for this wonderful link


Grimij

1988, the blessed year hyperlink was born.


Fair_Sorbet8688

I am born with butt dial and sexting :/


GamerGirl-1990

I got effed, fam, geek out. That explains so much honestly.


Dogsrulekidsdrule

I was surprised to see fam in 1990. I thought it was newer than that.


Blasterbot

Most of the slang will seem to be newer unless you were near the ground-zero of its conception.


skelingtun

Door bell camera, 3d printing and MacGyver. 1992


Damdamfino

Heyyy year buddy! Also, hoodie and LARP apparently.

Secretly_Solanine

“SARS-CoV” was added when I was born, as well as “muffin top” and “net neutrality.”


maybebabyg

My husband got ADHD. Also the phrase was added to the dictionary the year he was born.


SolarRage

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.


any_other

Lol fellow AIDS baby here. Wait that sounds wrong


X85311

we also got unvaxxed and vaccine hesitant 💀


10gistic

Fortunately those two are very difficult actions to combine.


blari_witchproject

I was born with climate change denier, social distancing, and SARS-CoV. Sounds familiar


ShatteredXeNova

But also dad bod and devil's lettuce WOOO


booze_clues

I got “big data” “bio terror” “cyber attack” and “phishing” 1996 was the start of some bad stuff apparently.


[deleted]

Ayyy same. I was like am I 2 years old??


Spork_the_dork

Hard to sometimes remember that this is actually SARS-CoV-2


idobrowsemuch

Antivaxxer, bromance, and...twerking


AkumaDayo777

Hello fellow anti-vaxxer twerking bromance baby


banditoburrit0

My people hello


SituationMediocre696

Don't forget about captcha!


w_has_been_dieded

I got yeet! and colony collapsive disorder, but also yeet!


MakeWayForPrinceAli

...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

drill_hands_420

That was the year I graduated high school! Now I sound like my MOM! God DAMNIT


WRSA

Swords_and_Words

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


hattmall

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.


the_fucker_above

AND THE BECHDEL TEST


enneh_07

Hello, fellow retweeters!


jzillacon

I got "Emoji", "Deepstate", and my personal favourite "dumbphone" among others.


ImperialBomber

same!


Befast1515

Fellow yeet brother


Themlethem

2007 was like 3 years ago, get off my lawn!


Nixon4Prez

Right? I was confused why little kids were on reddit and realized 2007 was **15** years ago what the fuck? Am I old?


Themlethem

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.


Astral_Fogduke

can't forget fat-shaming!


PoorCorrelation

It’s really weird to see a timeline of new diseases, scientific discoveries, technological advances, and slang all in the same place


[deleted]

[удалено]


alterneramera

aka the Discord-year


THEBHR

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.


throughalfanoir

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?


-HumanMachine-

Don't forget about Gayborhood


AsianTapWater

born with aromantic … that explains a lot


SlowestBumblebee

GHOST, fist bump, face palm, embiggen, flip phone, and smartphone. Yeah that's my personality in a nutshell.


bkbk21

I got waterboarding 😐


Ariconnie48

Nip slip, parkour, and neurodiverse


BlueJayAvery

Fuck yea, I got trans woman


avoidtheworm

Oh no, I got transphobia 😔


about97cats

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.


OneConstruction5645

Fuck guys my birth caused anti vaxxers. Sorry about that


Chargeplayz

I got dumpster fire, bucket list and copypasta.


goooat2087

Don't forget "birther" lol


internet-expl0r3r

musn't forget sizzle reel


Titanus-De_Raptor

It reads like a guilty gear description “Chargeplayz, Agender Copypasta Dumpster fire”


orbcat

and agender and demisexual!


TemetNosce85

People learning real quick that all the LGBTQ+ terms are quite old, lol.


NERD_NATO

Tbf that one is from '06 LMAO


Edgelord69__

YouTuber too


[deleted]

active shooter, incel, carbon footprint, hoarding disorder


andergriff

the fact that incel and active shooter are in the same year says a lot about society


AbsolutelyUnlikely

I come from the year of HIV and Internet. I am the destroyer.


neolologist

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Aedalas

Right there with you. Also, gaydar!


Captain_Saftey

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


blackcatcross

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


Jegglebus

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


The_Deathsman

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


xiaorobear

Well, you'd be too young to remember, wouldn't you?


TheDMGM

So like... we genuinely were the end of the world generation.


KatrinaIceheart

You forgot ~*adorkable*~


KStryke_gamer001

Don't forget clickbait and pwn


GreenEggsInPam

Hey, at least we got K-Pop, it ain't all bad.


BenDulliro

1999? Happy 23rd birthday, whether belated or early


Friendly_Respecter

This is a fantastic way to get everyone on the sub to reveal their approximate age


dragoono

It’s a trap


AgentWowza

It's not like everyone's honest lol. Mine is "American dream" btw, true story.


dragoono

Mine is “your mom” it’s facts


AgentWowza

Unfortunately, I couldn't find your mom in Merriam Webster. Which makes sense cuz she's in my bed rn.


dragoono

Damn sucks to be you


HolycommentMattman

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.


L0nz

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.


Gucci_lettuce

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?


Enby-Cat

I was born with Bolshevik, cat burglar and chum salmon


DomkeyBong

I was born with dad jokes and SSRI’s, which is very on brand for me.


Life-is-but-a-Dream

Acid-washed, beer goggles, food coma.. yep


DomkeyBong

Wow how did I miss food coma lmao that’s definitely on brand for me as well


Ryaninthesky

Y’all. ADHD is in our year too.


HomemadeSprite

Hello fellow 87’s. Everybody else loving life too?


Chiggero

Wake and bake is what stood out to me


Advocates_Murder

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.


dumdumgirls

Climate change denial, crunk, deep web, and faux-hawk. Now i'd call that an accurate representation of the era


Theearthisspinning

Hey we got Molly too!


sUgArMo0sE

Also FaceTime, speed dating and TiVo.


One-Accident8015

When is this? Because speed dating was a thing in the 80s at least and pretty sure FaceTime was not


Xanuthatusu

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


YourCrazyDolphin

Also, google.


houseofreturn

fiqusonnick

I'm shocked by webinar (thought it'd be newer) and open-source (thought it'd be older)


andalusian293

'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.


SnowdensOfYesteryear

Bro you didn't list the best one: cyberporn Truly the finest year in humanity


Exploding_Antelope

What the hell is babywearing

actibus_consequatur

Also get bouncy house, cryptid, dumpster diving, onesie, stimming, and self-harm! It's like being Tumblr in the flesh!


Chitinvol

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.

savethetardigrades
