“Hot” take: older people using new slang is good. Great, even. Miles better than them shitting on it for no reason other than thinking young people are stupid.
Yup, exactly my thoughts too. Some new words and fun, like “yeeting something”. I always find people who want language to stagnate kind of strange, do they realise we don’t speak ye olde English or ancient Sumerian? Language is ever evolving.
Meh, I’m not a fan of pointless slang, even if it’s naturally occurring like most slang is. “Neckbeard” for example is mostly cool & funny to me because it actually describes something that wasn’t quite named before. Of course the body-shaming aspect isn’t great, but…
“Rizz” is actually kinda useful to me because it means I don’t have to pay much attention to the person using it. They’re just trying to be hip most likely, and I can move on.
Similar thing with “shitting on” which is pretty disgusting in itself. I mean, who the fuck came up with that nastiness? “Harshing on” or “slamming” wasn’t good enough for you…?

I’m surprised it’s a hot take. I prefer my grandma saying rizz and being hip over boomer humor and being a fossil
BetMoodRight onI agree with the thing what you said.
