Generation alpha are the little kids coming up.

Rizzler is someone with Rizz, chaRISma.

Ohio sucks. It's a bad state.

Mid is between good and bad, but seems to also mean bad sometimes.

Skibidi is a nonsense word from the Skibidi Toilet Gary's Mod machina videos.

Phantom Tax is something about the Minecraft Phantom creatures I think.

Regarding Fanum Tax, as per urbandictionary:

Fanum tax comes from the comedy creator Fanum, who is a member of streamer Kai Cenat's influencer crew AMP. The phrase refers to the way Fanum would jokingly "tax" other members of AMP in 2022 by taking bits of their food when they were eating, according to the digital culture database KnowYourMeme. The website says the meme is popular with both Gen Alpha and Gen Z, but numerous Gen Zers say they were not aware of the meme at all.

whoa, that makes so much sense! I always interpreted it as "Fandom Tax", which was confusing as Gen Z doesn't really do fandoms anymore

mid is bad in the same sense that mediocre is never used to mean good
