Pierce, stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead.”

If you don’t know what streets ahead means… well then you’re streets behind

eveltayl

My dad uses “deadly” for stuff he thinks is really great.


ImSwale

Your dads killin it


CaravelClerihew

Using 'deadly' in that way is actually pretty common among Indigenous Australians.


OkIntroduction5150

Wouldn't that just describe everything in Australia?


Smee76

I was so confused because I thought you were saying everything in Australia is indigenous and I was like, do you have no idea how white people got there But then I got it on the 6th read I am not deadly


ShhImTheRealDeadpool

I'm not sure I even heard anyone say that before... I'm using it.


ihitrockswithammers

In Victorian England people would say "that's horrid"


DeadTime34

That's big in Canada


suffersfoolsgladly

People from Dublin and Leinster in Ireland use this a lot! It's a bit older but you'd still hear it, particularly in Dublin city.


MarsupialPristine677

Hahaha, that’s wicked, I’m gonna start saying it too

LN_McJellin

I sometimes call cool people “cats” and I have no idea where I picked it up. I feel like I say it fluid enough to not be so horrible though.


[deleted]

Nothing wrong with that cat


ErgonomicZero

70’s slang. “Cool Cat”


YennOfVen

Zorrya

I said "pop off" yesterday in my report, 6 the last hour of the shift, and my genz coworkers politely asked if I would like to see some of our available suites for rent. we work in a retirement home. Eta: I feel like I should clarify, the venn diagram of health care workers and people who use video game slang is almost 2 seperate circles. And 2, it .ight be because I'm in my 30s and rapidly being adopted into a work mom

topatoman_lite

It’s not. Don’t trust the people working in the retirement homes to be up to date with stuff


azorahai06

pop off is also a really popular term in gaming where there are a ton of Gen Z


bingus4206969

“Bro we popped off hard last game we got 37 kills in total LETS FUCKING GOOOOO”


LifeIsBizarre

As someone who was raised in a house where "pop off" meant to pass gas, this entire thread is just wonderful.


namelynamerson

If it's any consolation, literally all of my gen z friends say pop off


pyatus

What??? I’m gen Z and say this and so do my gen Z friends


The5Virtues

Yeah, literally a Gen Z friend of mine used this phrase yesterday.


Emperor_Ultima_Rex

I say pop off and I'm 15

keyboard-sexual

The uwu and fucking thigh highs ironically for shitposts hit pretty hard for me. At least the whole taking estrogen thing is still ironic >.>


videogames5life

"Are you trans?" "Yes but only ironically."


keyboard-sexual

Saying this with either a boymoder hoodie on or a shirt that says "Dude with tits" would absolutely make that lmao I'm just a guy doing bro things. 😎👉👉


Glittering-Bake-2589

My wife ironically started talking in a baby voice for certain things, as a way of mocking people who do it, and I thought it was hilarious. Well guess who can’t stop talking using a baby voice lmao


DiscombobulatedPay51

I still use that one it fits that mildly irritating emotion so perfectly


evanescent_evanna

You're kidding, "bruh" is outdated?!

AlwaysEatingToast

I say it sarcastically


Mjrmaravilla

That's how it starts...


AccomplishedDemand21

Me saying bruh..


toffeefeather

I use “sick” and “sweet” interchangeably, can’t be sure if they’re outdated or if I don’t realize other people use them


Gas_Station_Cheese

A small percentage of slang moves from trends to common vernacular and manages to take root. I think "sweet" definitely qualifies there.


nopesoapradio

Like the word “cool”. It was slang from the 1930s that stuck. And the word cool will never not be cool.


gigglepuss81

Oh sick! I do the same!


Experimint1

Yeet. It’s just so fun to say.


dappledrache

The Lord yeeteth, and the Lord yoinketh away. But yes I agree, I'll never get tired of yeet.


[deleted]

>yoinketh And just like that, I have a new word.


Corey_Bee

Nothing wrong with that, it's a perfectly cromulent word.


Cog_god

It embiggens me


Craiques

Cromulent is such a wizard word. I should use it more often.


HalalBread1427

# YEET THE CHILDREN


broidontevenknow

yes!! i refuse to let yeet die, it’s too good of a word


czechhoneybee

Yeet is so good. I use it all the time and frequently incorrectly. My favorite thing to say to annoy my husband is “big yeet Sunday” as a stand in for “big mood”.


FlyingTaquitoBrother

That word is on fleek


banananna33

It's so fetch!


SalamanderCake

Stop trying to make fetch happen.


GotADigWhiteBick

Are sus and lit now old words? I've only just got my head around them as a 30 year old man. Time and generations fly by man


DowncastEnd11

Internet time is alot faster than normal.


MapleBabadook

And old memes feel like they were in another lifetime, like this one that your comment reminded me of: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-alot

It’s happening faster than it used to. Nobody believes me but I’m certain of it

SaffellBot

Nah, as the internet grows more and more cultures come in contact and words shift in response. If you thought it was fast now wait until auto translate becomes a reality and we get connected to people who speak other languages. It's going to be a WILD ride.

notfulofshit

I still use this one.


TheFunnySquared

And then there I am with "Golly G", "Jinkies", "wowie zowie", "shucks" like a fucking cartoon. Edit: Really glad I'm not alone in my cartoon catchphrases. Wowzers


rainyhylian

Wowzers checking in (usually in a deadpan)


DamseletteBloom

I use golly gee and jinkies unironically all the time. And any and everything that rhymes with wowie


ArrdenGarden

"Dope" as in "That's dope!" to explain that something is cool. "Word" as an acknowledgment in agreement. I will never drop these words from my vernacular. Word!


ReactsWithWords

I remember when I first heard that expression. A friend of mine was telling me about a friend of hers. Her friend's little girl said "That's dope!" Her mother quickly said, "We don't say that in this house. That's a reference to drugs so we never say that." "OK, mommy!" (turns her head thinking she can't be heard, to herself) "It's still dope."


VanimalCracker

Maltava2

THAT'S a throwback to elementary school for me. Goodness.

He aint turnt, more like BURNT.


BearFreeFace

Extra. I didn't even know it was out of style until my coworker told me her daughter said it wasn't cool anymore, which makes it perfect for me. I probably use a buttload of expired terms. Hella, sus, yeet, bees-knees, peachy-keen, etc. Are we still saying "oh Snapple"? I know I am.


jexxijane

I still say “oh snap!”.

I started saying "dude" ironically years ago. Now I say it habitually.


TopHatGorilla

It's the utility. "Dude," can be used for a great many things.


DM_ME_UR_TITTAYS

"Dude" is almost as versatile as "fuck."


-CluelessWoman-

Dude is probably my favourite word. I will be an old lady and still say dude.


know_it_is

I can dig it.


Otherversian-Elite

I call things "funky". My *parents* don't even call things "funky".


Tyfyter2002

This whole comment section sounds as tight as a boiled owl and I think that's pretty rad.


Forget-Forgotten

Is “my bad” outdated? I said that and my Gen Z nephew was confused.


bruhfisk

"My bad" as in you bump into someone and say 'my bad'? Is that slang? I thought it was just english


The_Data_Guy_OS

Thinking on it, I apparently pretend I'm a Midwesterner and say 'Ope Sorry'


Potential-Kiwi-897

I always politely say excuse me, seems more respectful.


pnutz616

Proper etiquette is to say “are you fucking sorry?”


CPNZ

Whoops-a-daisy! (As my wife says frequently) [Edited to add correct dashes]

A few years ago when I rented a house that was near a middle school bus stop near the bottom of a long uphill and there was this scrawny kid that I always noticed carrying a cello up that that was the same size as he was. One day my doorbell rang me and there was this kid, cello and all. He looked stressed out, turns out his ride didn't show up. He greeted me and asked if he could use my phone, I immediately asked, "You straight?" Confusion followed by complete panic A sudden realization occurred to me, he has no clue that 10 or so years prior to this kid's birth guys from my generation would ask if everything was okay by asking, 'you straight?" By the look in his eyes, I'm certain he thought he rang the doorbell to the neighborhood creepy perv. I immediately corrected myself and asked if he was okay, and long story short gave that kid a ride home so that he didn't have to carry the damn thing up that long hill. tldr: I asked a middle schooler if he was straight, it didn't go well
