One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
A relatable situation; when my kid can read a little better I mean to very enthusiastically introduce them to it.
Though honestly they might enjoy the beautiful artwork without bothering to read. Or it might encourage them to practice. Hmm.
Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.
they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all
What is “bop”? Are bop-its popular on TikTok?
A song that is good, or goes hard.
That makes sense, I guess. Thank you.
Absolutely! I’m old, but somehow I am still semi-“hip”
I’m old, but I was homeschooled so not once was I hip.
In fact I’m pretty sure my actual physical hip is failing.
How is rizz not new? I’ve never seen it until tiktok.
Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It’s just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes
I’ve heard it plenty, california
What year did you first start hearing the word rizz?
rizz comes from African Americans Vernacular English and has been around for decades…. white kids on tiktok recently learned it…
I’ve been around for decades too, even living in California, and the first time I’ve heard the word is recently with the new generation of tiktok people.
well slang is very regional, as well as specific to different subcultures… like gamers have tons of slang/jargon…
seems like kids like to appropriate slang from elsewhere (often black slang, probably from music), then they assume they invented it and gatekeep it, then it progresses to boring or becomes part of the language like “cool”….
but whatever, i’m down with it… it’s totally tubular!
How the fuck would I remember a specific year
They already are, as people on here know them. Also “cooking” just seems to be shorthand for “cooking with gas”, with the same connotations and meaning, and boomers are definitely saying that.
I’m a partial to “cooking with grease” just cause it’s different.
I’m cooking spaghetti for dinner tonight. Yes, I’m old.
Who has a problem with spaghetti?
GenZ HATES spaghettis because their not WOKE like “bucatini” or “far fale”
What’s cooking?
That would be rad…
Totally gnarly

Skibiddy Rizz YOLO my chat in Christ, based yeets.
I’ll be ambling through nursing home hallways in a threadbare robe on the way to the ol’ skibidi while some orderlies with multicolor levitating hair make modem noises at each other.
That’ll just be the microplastic poisoning setting in though.
You had me in the last sentence… sadly
And their grandkids will ask “based on what?”
And then you hit em with the “BASED ON DEEZ NUTS”
Based grandparent
They are already getting there. Hearing forty year olds say it means kids are now stopping saying it.
Wazzuppppp, fellow youths!
I hear more millennial YouTubers using this language than I do highschoolers.
I would imagine because you spend way more time watching millennial YouTubers than you do hanging out with high school ers
Yeah! Screw me for not wanting to hang around the little shits after having to deal with them at work right?
It is time for a rap!
This is what I strive for in my old age.
By that time language may be unrecognizable by those of you still around
I heard this thing that humans are tribal creatures and in any group, family, friend etc, they will invariably develop their own language, and they didn’t mention it but generationally specify slang is so much more beautiful when viewed through that lens. So even if it’s an old person thing, for those of us privileged to be able to stay on this earth that long, it will still be your tribes language and you will feel at home saying it. And that’s all that matters.
No cap
And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.
I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.
