The fuck is “cheugy”? How the hell do you pronounce that?
I’ve heard my BIL pronounce it “chew-gee”
today is a terrible day to be literate in english
Still on the fence here is the g pronounced like in GIF?
chew-ghee, like the clarified butter.
Yes. But only if you don’t pronounce GIF like a heathen.
I pronounce it gif so I’m good either way
I literally had never encountered the term “cheugy” until I first played Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, in which the old principal asks you what kids these days meant by “cheugy”. I had to look it up. Sadge
I seem to recall when they were translating “grunge” slang and it was also mostly bullshit not actually used.
I think ‘mid’ means middle or mid-grade weed, which means a similar thing as ‘mediocre’ like the chart says.
This is exactly what I thought too. Once again, I’m old.
Lol for some reason “delulu” hits just as bad as calling someone retarded. The only difference is one isn’t a medical term. It’s a well chosen word.
Delulu seems like a cute way of telling someone they’re insanely stupid. I like it.
Ick is just short for icky and vibe has been around for decades.
Gnarly list.
I think they’re saying “the ick” or something but that’s also pretty understandable by everyone.
The whole trend is nothing new. Millennials and some GenXers were stealing all their slang from American rappers when they were young, too.
Uh Gen X predates rap.
True, but people using cool sayings from black culture has been a thing for a long time
Rap got popular in the 80’s, like NWA and Run DMC, right as GenXers were entering their formative years. Really not hard to figure out before posting pointless replies.
Radically tubular
“Giving” is ballroom slang from like, the 80s. Extra is also LGBT slang that has been around at least since I was a teenager > a decade ago.
I shall share a stolen… I meant a borrowed meme
new Copeis nutsSheesh yaas
Does ‘else if’ become ‘cap nocap’?
This is what happens when friends don’t give friends shit for acting like a wigger and you end up with a bunch of Pretty Fly for a White Guys making everyone cringe.
Bruh I don’t think that’s ok,hopefully just ignorance and not malice. even if you change out the first letter you’re still kinda implying other people can be n-words.
You what?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigger
About 130 years ago it was a racial slurs but died out and resurged in the 70s as a dergatory term for white people that try to (poorly and offensiviely) emulate black culture. Aka white trash wannabe.
It could still be used offensively, but it rarely is. I learned the term from a bunch of black American Navy visiting and ended up hanging out with them all weekend. They were shocked to know we have them too and pulled up “beatboxing” videos, realising just how offensive a wigger can be, especially when they start using the n-word in their raps like it applies to them.
That one has me a bit torn because the n-word is used for any black person and obviously meant to hurt them. On the other hand, “the w-word” just means a white guy who dresses and acts like a gangsta rapper from the 90s-00s
Is that offensive? The root of it is, I just don’t know if the actual meaning lessens how offensive it is
I mean, they’re technically calling black people the N word by proxy (it’s meant to essentially be white + N word to refer to a white guy pretending to be/acting black). So it seems like a case of “if you’re not black you probably shouldn’t say it”.
so does digger get a pass because it has context? Or how does this work?
What would the D even stand for? 🤔
who knows, follows the same construction as the other two though.
I thought bussin just meant “good” and could pertain go anything, not just food.
Do all Gen Z speak like this? Or just the really over the top ones?
My son, 16, talks like this with his friends. I have to ask for clarification in our texts a lot. I’m not one to down as we had our own slang growing up but I refuse to be okay with Bussin’ it just sounds so dumb to me.
this is definitely not bussin
No.
did everyone in the 80s say bodacious?
did everyone in the 90s sat eat my shorts?
Like, totally.
Cowabunga dude.
Radical.
Like, you know, whatever
Just the extra ones
I’m such a fan of gyatt, it’s just so damn fun to say.
Too bad the translation’s not really accurate here. It should say “god damn!”
GYATT DAYYUM
Too bad the translation’s not really accurate here. It should say “god damn!” GYATT DAYYUM
tl;dr: gyatt is almost exclusively used to mean, “god damn, phat ass.”
Except it is accurate, in shorthand and meaning. Gyatt started off to mean “god” and people would even say “gyatt damn.” Then it moved to be fully “gyatt dayyum” to mean “god damn” as you noted…and then abbreviated to just “gyatt.”
Then it evolved to the present day where gyatt is mostly used to say, “god damn, that’s a phat ass” or some variation. When something is terrible or your disappointed, you don’t really say “gyatt it” or even “gyatt dayyum it” to mean “god damn it” or if you’re pissed off at someone, you don’t say “gyat you / gyatt dayyum you” to mean “god damn you.” But if someone with a phat ass walks by, you’ll say “GYATT,” to mean "god damn, that’s phat ass.
it’s not even a word, it’s more of an expression, which is why its so good
That’s a dope-ass list, shit’s ill af. Just don’t be bitin someone else’s stilo, cuz that shit’s wack, yo. If ya do, just tell ‘em “my bad, b!”, or expect peeps gonna be poppin caps in your ass, ya heard?
Word to ya motha.
Wicka wicka Slim Shady. Uh… leave Britney alone!
Okay gramgram, let’s get you to beddy-bye
Yes, Cuban B!
Bruh
You down with O.P.P.? Yeah you know me!
There. Now you can feel even older.
Object Poriented Programming?
Most of these either aren’t right or I don’t understand the older language.
At least cheugy is a new word. All these fucking morons literally redefining “giving” and it’s absolutely terrible. It doesn’t sound good. It just makes you sound idiotic and like you don’t know English.
They didn’t redefine giving, it’s literally being used for its original definition. Just add “energy” or “vibes” at the end of the sentence and it clarifies exactly how it’s used. If someone sees your outfit and says “It’s giving Beyoncé” -> “it’s giving Beyoncé energy”, your outfit is reminding them of Beyoncé. As in it is providing/offering said Beyoncé-like energy, aka one of the original definitions of giving something.
they literally redefined it. It no longer means to ’ : presented as a gift : bestowed without compensation ’ or ‘particular, specified’ or ’ : immediately present in experience ’ they’re using it as “it gives me the energy of” which already HAD A DEFINITION. THAT’S WHAT VIBE MEANS.
That’s not the original definition of ‘giving’ something, i have no clue where you got that from.
Bunch of morons downvoting too, bet y’all saying giving a hundred times a day. fucking idiots.
Those were not the only original definitions of giving by a long shot. Another original definition was to provide, offer, impart, communicate, or pass on something, (hence the phrase “giving off” which has been around for a long time, example: it’s giving off radiation), etc. It’s not gen Z’s fault you don’t know all the definitions of giving.
Yeah if used in that manner you have to put a word after it. Not doing so is redefining it
I believe giving actually comes from 90s gay/drag culture, and like most of these isn’t really as obtuse as it seems. It’s just word omission. It’s just shorthand for “it’s giving me thoughts of” or “it’s giving me memories of”, basically (okay, admittedly I’m extracting a little bit here).
Here’s an example that I hope helps: imagine your friend or romantic partner comes to you wearing a new tweed jacket they’ve excited about, but all you can see when you look at it is memories of your tweed-clad college professor. You might respond with “i dunno, it’s giving college prof,” which is just shorthand for “I dunno, it’s giving me flashbacks to memories of my college professor.”
Personally that seems a fairly functional evolution of language in the way it always evolves, not the degradation you seem to be finding, but of course I can only offer my own singular opinion on the topic, so do with that what you want

I got this as a fax, and it said I had to mail it to at least seven other people to be blessed.
Mine arrived in a mail box
