I know y’all had a rough start growing up online, but that word really used to be important to us grey beards who watched all this online stuff unfold over the decades.

Sometimes I wonder if the younger folks realize you don’t have to document your life on the internet.

Why do old people always follow the same rules of syntax and grammar?

Just kidding I’m old and I want to know why young people mangle english so much.

I'm 5 yrs older than a caterpillar that turned into a cocoon. I've never seen it again for two decades

1: Father, you have no respect. You simper over mother without end, and it brings shame upon me.

2: Quite. I may be "skip to the lou, my darling", but your mother has earned my undying respect. My world goes crazy without her.

3: She's a gentleman of audacious taste.

4: Double France? Double France.

Is…is this Loss?

Skibidi comes from Scatman and no one can convince me otherwise.

It's part of a lyric from an Arabic song that was featured in some viral Tiktok videos, most notably this one

It became sort of a filler word, but mostly think of it as being synonymous with "cool"

Pretty sure you’re shitposting, but for any parents who don’t know, it means “down to fuck.”

It means "down to fuck", it means your open to sexual activity. Doing the Facebook is a lie hea telling you to avoid the awkward situation

That's pretty much it. It's when somebody's behaviour is out of line.

Use it as an adjective: e.g. "You are/that is out of pocket"

In finance, out-of-pocket is synonymous with cash on hand, liquid assets. Means you can pay now without needing to incur a debt.

In business, out-of-pocket is usually synonymous with out-of-office, like AFK Away-From-Keyboard. Often shorter term than being fully on vacation. "I'll be OOP after 2pm for a doctor's appt."

I have recently heard out-of-pocket used among youngsters or the terminally-online to mean rude or crazy, like you said. "Beyond the standards of normalcy".

Same here the only out of pocket I have ever heard is either when your broke or having to pay for something.

Don't know exactly but something similar to a mixture of a brave, true, and cool statement. Think it was first used by right wing chuds but then adopted ironically by terminally online liberals.

You'd say "based" if you agree with the political messaging of something.

(Pls correct me if I'm wrong)

I've often seen "based" as a shorthand for "based in reality" or "true"

TIL I hang out with just enough youngins to read this and be like "they like your outfit." It's gotta be the early 20s kids at work that I've caught onto what they're saying lol.

"That fit shreds" = that's an awesome outfit

Synonyms for Fit: outfit, drip, gear, cloth(es), getup

Synonyms for shreds: killer, swag, gnarly, rad, sick, dank, cool, fire (🔥),

Your drip is fire

Your outfit is cool

Your gear is rad

Your clothes are sick

Your getup is dank

Your cloth is killer

All pretty equivalent statements which you may relate to more based on era of terminology you grew up with.

(This is from my brain dictionary, real life experiences may be different)

Edit: Proper spacing to avoid aneurysm

Twitch is a popular live stream platform, on it users can post emotes which have names. One of the oldest and most popular emotes is pogchamp, it used to be the face of a streamer who made the expression after winning a game of pog but he got banned for some controversial statements (typical right wing covid denial, jan6th apologia) and the emote was replaced with a lizard making a similar face. This has slowly bled into the mainstream just as the word pog or poggers.

The facial expression sums up it's meaning, but it's basically one of shocked happiness, you would use it if a streamer does something rare/lucky/skillful. Luke sky-walker turning off his targeting computer but still destroying the deathstar is poggers. Getting an A on a multiple choice test despite guessing every answer is poggers.

It’s an expression of shock and excitement. It comes from a specific image that became a Twitch emote of the same name. If you look up “pog” or “pogchamp”, you should find the image. The face pretty much speaks for itself. It’s one of the staples of Twitch chat culture

The term has also evolved in everyday speech as essentially being equivalent to “sick” or “dope”

Ohio as a state is a liminal space full of cornfields and a feeling of wasted potential. A disproportionate number of American astronauts come from Ohio, proving that the primary thing on the minds of Ohioans is getting as far away from Ohio as possible no matter the cost.

If something is Ohio it's a place or a situation that you don't want to be in. It's a dead end with a feeling of vague discomfort.

Basically New Jersey
