Alternative title: use these words if you want your kid to never say them again
I started doing this and it works. Even better when I string them together incoherently and then they all get even madder.
I like to use their words incorrectly to mess with them. Come up behind them playing Minecraft: “Are you playing that Roblox?” Or "For Real No Cat?’
Dads have been enjoying this since home video games became a thing. Now go play your Gameboy.
no shit, my dad called it the intendo, but then the fucker stole my gameboy and got addicted to tetris lol
This is the way.
Totes based
Yeet that into the rizzophere, no cap fr fr
Edit: ong
You can also make some up. That is very skibidi of you.
Truthfully no hat
it’s like these words have some kind of hidden meaning and when we (the olden folks) use them it debases their value.
which simply encourages me to use the more. “This shit has skibidi ohio rizz all over, no cap no fleek stream”
I have no idea what this incantation means, but it drives my children bonkers. feel free to try it.
I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.
There is no such thing as generational slang. There is just slang.
Sticking out my GYAT for the Rizzler, something something fanum tax.
Shoot me now.
Omg that’s so skibidi
I’m gen-x and I am at the point where I don’t know if I say anything unironically any more.
(But you are spot on, slang is there, always, and it mutates as it is needed, but it isnt generational so much as sociopolitical and regional.)
My wife named my bird Rizz.
She says I finally have rizz.
Prove it, show us the Rizz!
You got rizz, alright!
What type of bird is that? It’s so cute.
He’s a cockatiel. The coloring is usually more indicative of a female, but they don’t have hard rules like that.
I believe this as well, no cap
A lot of those are GenZ slang not Gen alpha slang.
Gen Alpha aren’t going to have their own slang that’s not completely cringe until the ladder half gets to highschool. RN they’re barely in middle school.*latter half 🤓
Not to mention “barley in middle school”
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.
They’re just now figuring out what “beat your meat” actually means, give them time, for now/so far everything they’ve come up with is cringe AF. Same thing happened with GenZ & millennials, first was an adoption & adaptation of older slang mixed with cringe as hell new slang that faded out of popularity, then overtime much better slang evolved.
They’re still in that “I’m a potato” phase of slang development.Edit : NVM, dyslexia moment.
I don’t think being cringe really exists when it comes to kids. They are developing into who they are/will be.
Adults on the other hand like myself I could say can be, because we are supposed to(according to culture) have figured out who we are, so when we do something out of place it is an attention seeking act that went poorly often times. So when I say a bad joke, I can come across as cringy, or even me trying to explain myself here can come across as cringy. But kids, we need to cut them a lot more slack. We shouldn’t be punching down on adults either, but if we start by supporting those kids finding themselves maybe it’ll grow with time and eventually maybe anyone can say something dumb and not feel like they should shove their head in the sand, but rather feel safe in their own insecurity and be supported by people around them.
Love for those feeling insecure may be the change they needed to not lash out negatively, whether against themselves or others.
Slang can be cringe though, that’s the problem. In order for slang to have wide adoption it needs to be highly flexible & versatile and importantly not too cringe to say in an IRL conversation. Just look at the word “cringe” itself, it lives on from the Millennial era with some slight adaptation. It’s not that Gen Alpha is inherently cringe, just that the slang they have are too early in development.
Latter means “comes last” not first.

If you’re going to correct someone at least make sure you’re right yourself.🤓
Ratio’d isn’t even GenZ but Millenial, right?
Ratio’d is probably more Twitter slang than anything.
Am millennial, have never heard ratio’d before
For the uninitiated, to be “ratio’d” means you had more comments than likes.
Because there are no downvotes on Twitter, being radio’d is synonymous with a shit take.
I think it’s more twitter slang. Sure it can be applied elsewhere. But I’ve mostly heard it used regarding twitter posts.
i am millennial but i did hear it before. on the line.
Ratio’d isn’t even GenZ but Millenial, right?
Ty suka gyat, they stealing our slang!
no, it’s boomer
Son, let me tell you a story about how back in my day I got ratio’ed on the twier
Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was niche talk
this feels correct. niche terms become slang. seems right
It’s more Zillennial. The very top of the ladder of GenZ and the very bottom of Millennials.
Aren’t Gen alpha still young children? Their slang is a little too new to have much staying power yet.
Exactly.
The oldest gen alphas are in kindergarten
The oldest are 13-14 years old.
2020 was only 4 years ago. They’re 4.
Gen alpha stared 2010, not 2020
That means only 10 years on zoomers. That’s ridiculous.
Well, slightly less ridiculous given the repeal of Roe V Wade and the number of 10 year olds now giving birth, but still!
Gen Z is from late 1990s through 2010, about 15 years, just like the other generations
Me after reading the article:
I dont care for this, no cap
fr
fr is totally millennial
Bet.
What boomer wrote this
Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with “generational” comparisons, please, and the click bait that goes with it? Let’s instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?
Probably not, but here’s to hoping.
nassim taleb calls it “over-platonification,” expecting everything to meet some platonic ideal. it is absolutely pervasive. this is another great example of it
Iaranis, I’m not speaking to you directly. Instead, I want to expand on your eloquent and pleasant message.
It amazes me how quickly some are willing to accept age related generalizations and reject generalizations based on other criteria like race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I’ve been around long enough to understand that all of it is a weird control mechanism. I’ve known people nearing the end of their days that spent a lifetime advocating for all the right things. That should be enough for folks to understand that we are all immature, flawed, and prone to bias; while capable of fostering positive change.
Don’t marginalize anyone, young or old because of their age. We all get the same short life to try to live to its fullest.
You sound like you are skibitty rizz no cap gyayted bruh face millionaire cash money money money maypoll. Why you so chedduh blonde bearing that shits not tight mofo. Tubular.
Gen alpha? I thought rizz and ratio are gen z stuff
I’ve never heard a gen Z unironically use “rizz”
So you have heard them use it…
Skibidi bigidneicjdmsldicjslworbcjxlskbrncjzkvjvhsjdbxis I’M THE SCAT MAN!
I appreciate skibidi toilet, it’s good to know that even across generations, children still yearn for stupid gmod videos
Everyone stutters one way or the other, so check out my message to you; as a matter of fact, I don’t let nothing hold you back, if the Scatman can do it, so can you!
TIL rizz is for chaRIZZma.
Nah, its for “grizzled tanman”. You oldies just don’t get it.
I keep a little bottle of tanning lotion under my pillow for the Tanman in case he comes to town.
Mr tanman bring me some rizz.
No it’s for sounding stupid, but that’s okay. Everybody’s an idiot - me, drunk Steve, everybody - kids are no exception.
The onion should do a satire version of this article…
#1) BizzBop: a can of soda
#2) shaplopped: sitting down in your chair too hard
#3) smooly-D: having difficulty keeping aim at the urinal.
#4) snorkeling: to have such abundance that you are euphemistically ‘swimming’ in something.
Last night I shaplopped, was snorkeling in bizzbop so hard that my smooly-D was straight killing it.
What else y’all got?
Sunko - a derogatory term for someone who holds strong beliefs in something despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. One who is subject to the sunk cost fallacy fallacy.
Example: These sunko boomers still think trickle-down economics are legit. Jokes on them, the only thing trickling down will be their piss down their own legs when the underfunded state nursing home caretakers ignore them for 3 days straight after we refuse to subsidise their geriatricity.
i’ll take ragebait content that everyone falls for for 100 alex
Older gen alpha are 12-- but all of the references are from current social media influencers. You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.
You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.
something tells me this doesn’t stop the ones w/o adequate supervision.
Or those with supervision who’s parents just don’t care. I’m on the older end of Gen z and definitely used YouTube before I was that old. My parents never really cared as long as I wasn’t watching anything weird on it.
💀
I visited cringe article island and everyone there knew you
