Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.
Pwn should be a few steps back
And pog is specific to twitch in the gaming sphere, so the same logic would apply.
Not to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but gnarly was at least a decade before rad. Also, epic is nearly 2 decades later.

I’m old enough to experience slang which isn’t native to my generation. But let me just say, this current generations slang is the shittest in a long time.
Previous gen slang (fam, lit, yeet) was a 6/10
Current gen slang (frfr, no cap, rizz) is 2/10
Next gen has such a low bar to beat, it’ll be hard for them to fuck this up.
Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.
It was a misspelling of “Owned” in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.
“Player 1 was pwned.”
For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
… I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking but since it’s Lemmy I want to think you’re serious and that’s pretty fucking cool if it is, bud
I still use rad and gnarly. Because those words are rad and gnarly.
Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.
As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”
That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a “MUH BAWLZ” Joke
We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I’m gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.
