This seems like a joke from some Michigan school teacher ... similar to how a lot of Ohio State football fans say *ichigan and things

No, "Ohio" has entered slang as meaning "boring hell", basically. All over.

[-] Avg@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

That's not slang, that's just true.

Ugh, I hate gen Z's slang. It's just nonsensical babble and meta references...

I feel like the mainstream millennial slang was pretty tame.

Maybe this just means I'm officially old now.

Really? "All that and a bag of chips" followed by snapping your fingers 3 times in the shape of a Z seems like something a sane person would say?

or "bout it bout it rowdy rowdy"?

or "salty" or "scrubs" when not refering to sodium or doctors medical attire.

Our slang, just like every generations slang, was the worst.

All that and a bag of chips

I remember that being said ... a handful of times

followed by snapping your fingers 3 times in the shape of a Z seems like something a sane person would say?

and I barely remember that... certainly I don't remember it tied to the former.

or "bout it bout it rowdy rowdy"?

0 recollection of that

or "salty" or "scrubs" when not refering to sodium or doctors medical attire.

Fair.

Our slang, just like every generations slang, was the worst.

I was informed by a friend I'm actually thinking of gen alpha slang (and blaming Gen Z) with stuff like ... https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Skibidi%20Toilet

I guess it's just a matter of what's "normal" with folks around you, particular as a kid. I certainly wasn't in a slang heavy group of kids in general. We texted with (near) proper grammar and full sentences and also found the "r u k? bb" kind of stuff pretty cringe-worthy.

Oh, then you're not a millennial. We didn't HAVE texting in 1995. You sound like you're talking about mid 2000s. By then I was in my mid-20s. So not exactly the time period where it was "my time" for new slang.

My grandfathers generation called money "bacon". As in, he brought home the bacon. My dads genneration called money Chedder. My generation called it lettice. Around 2010 I heard people calling it bread. I'm convinced they're making a sandwich! It's going to be turkey, or ham next. Maybe some capicola. Just as long as it's not mayonaise. I don't want mayonaise on my sandwich.

In this case it is literally just real facts about Ohio.

Except it's not... Ohio has Cedar Point, Kings Island, several well recognized museums, lakes, large state parks and a national park, hiking trails, bike trails, kayaking, just as diverse of a food culture as any other state in the big cities, 3 large metro areas, stadiums, concert halls, etc

The worst thing about Ohio for years has been the Republicans in the state house and this craziness that it's somehow a boring state. If you can't find things to do in Ohio, you haven't tried.
