I'm so glad to see some progress at last.
On a side note, I'm not sure what your last sentence means. I keep seeing people use the word "based" but I refuse to look it up 😄.
"Based" is pre-zoomer (Gen Z/Alpha) gamer slang for "great", with a slight connotation of oppositional greatness.
Original gamer use may include describing use of the N word for memes as "based" as its a counter-cultural thing that gamers saw as good. Nowadays it's pretty "normie-core" and any time something upsets the status quo in a positive way that might make opposition upset, is based.
For example, Dark Brandon, a reimagining of the "let's go Brandon" MAGA meme to be a progressive, anti-MAGA meme used as kind of a soft middle-finger to the right-wing internet, was incredibly based.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm in the Xennial cohort, and I never could develop an appreciation for gaming lexicons. I know every generation has their slang, but it does add some challenges with a broader audience.
Don't worry, I already have no idea what mewing, mogging, skibidi, or Ohio mean. I'm already the old man yelling at clouds.
Same!
Cultivate a fascination for neologism and you can be the old person that correctly and unironically uses modern slang to the horror of young people everywhere~
Become the reason that kids have to find new words for things all over again and you'll never run out of new material~
