Brb,lol,a/s/lOhio is a no no word? But that’s the name of a state?
Why is Ohio number three on this banned words list?
Always has been.
Emma getting called out like that is hilarious
Edging
How old are these kids, I was assuming pre teen
Anything that gets a rise out of your parents is going to be repeated on a loop whether or not you understand the context.
I remember saying “Pimp” in front of a friend’s parent. She chewed me out over it, while my friend’s younger sister listened in. She then proceeded to say “Pimp! Pimp! Pimp!” all the way home.
I was not invited back to that house for a month, which I think is a bit unfair.
The best way to make sure everyone is saying those words is to ban them lol
And best way to make them stop being used, is using them completely wrong and with the “i am hip with the teens” attitude
This works so very well. Turn them from fun to cringe with one irritating parent move.
I threatened to get a Sigma Dad tshirt and wear it to my son’s school. He’s since stopped with all the sigma stuff.
This reminds me of how John Oliver kept finding a way to work “on fleek” into his segments until it was declared no longer cool.
I do this as well. Killed “bruh” in a weekend. The t-shirt idea is next level, though. Kudos.
If you’re 30+ it’s your duty to destroy their words, just like the older generation did to our words, we will in turn kill these words untill only the true cool words remain, that is the way the universe purges itself of cringe.
It’s a slippery slope between saying something ironically and having it become part of your lexicon.
I can’t believe they really called out Emma like that lol
If this list was done for my class back when I was in school, realistically it’d just be slurs
Damn, you are probably right. Maybe this generation isn’t so doomed after all.
Much to do is always made of the kids personally I’m undecided. I have a feeling that they might go hard left after the formative experiences are Christmas being ruined by the right winger in the White House
Only if they receive the message that the left offers solutions, and not just more chaos.
At the moment all the young people entering politics had their formative experiences be the Biden administration and the men at least are very right wing
Biden was such a wet fart of a president
Percentage of young men is increasingly right wing, unfortunately. Economy/costs is usually not the driver for the young, it’s community, perceptions of confidence and strength, and attitude towards sex (once old enough, but much younger now than it used to be [in the US]).
I think you mean to say:
“Chat, is this generation COOKED?”
CaseOh: “Chat, we’re cooked.”
Chat: “Pls don’t eat us!”
Juvenoia. IPA(key):
/ˈd͡ʒuːvənɔɪə/Noun, juvenoia (uncountable)
(neologism) The fear or hostility directed by an older generation toward a younger one, or toward youth culture in general.
Banned word
Roflcopter, what an epic fail! The speech patterns of other generations are so not tubular or radical! Unlike my generation holds up spork we’re too random to to be lame!

Gen A / Z slang is objectively cooler than this 😞
Some of this was Gen Z slang. Like ROFLcopter. Early Gen Z was part of the stuff like Gay Luigi, the troll song, nyan cat, yeeee, rick rolling, swag, 360 no scope mlg, etc
Pretty sure ROFLCopter and rickrolling was Gen Y
It was definitely created by millenials, but that doesnt mean it wasn’t used by gen z. Generations aren’t as clear cut as people like to pretend

Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.
Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.
Wait until you learn how seriously law enforcement took street gangs.
The whole Saints Row series was based on the dichotomy between incorrigible feral teens, a product of hands-off parenting while simultaneously running an international drug and crime syndicate
Of note is the property of ur-fascism the enemy [of the movement] is simultaneously strong and weak
We weren’t allowed to wear hats because that meant you were in a gang…
Early 90s they were TERRIFIED we might wear gang color shoe laces.
In public highschool in the '90s in rural Ohio. A bunch dressed in western/cowboy gear and brought guns to a football game and there was some other ‘gang’ as well (maybe same fashion but different belief? I don’t remember). One person got found with a gun and arrested, but nothing else came of it. Yeehaw, I suppose.
Things I remember people complaining about at various times (I don’t really recall gradeschool having any)
- overuse (or use at all) of dude
- doy
- [no] duh
- dweeb
- overuse of awesome
- various “surfer” slang (we all saw the TMNT movie)
- at some point, maybe around high school, “my bad” became a thing. I still don’t really like the phrase much.
I’m sure there are more locked somewhere in the recesses of my brain, but those are the ones that jump to mind. The internet was only really becoming a thing when I was in highschool and I lived in a very rural area for most of it so things spread much more slowly.
