I mean sometimes I curse this state.
So... I can say "Let her cook"?
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.
That's not slang, that's just true.
Ugh, I hate gen Z's slang. It's just nonsensical babble and meta references...
Teaching the youth about freedom in the US.
I actually get it in an English class. You're there to teach them vocab not let them crutch along on slang.
I think any teacher worth their salt can teach English and draw the parallels between modern vernacular. I would like to believe teachers can do both.
I'd even go so far as to call teachers who refuse to adapt to the change in "slang" lazy.
It's not about adapting to change. It's just as valid to tell a kid they can't use "good" and "bad" in whatever they're writing or discussing. The adaptation is understanding that those slang words essentially amount to the same things because that's how kid's slang works. You're not conveying any rich meaning by repeating sigma over and over for whatever you think is good and mid for bad.
On that list the only complex idea is mewing, but the fact that it's complex means the kids who didn't understand its complexity have stripped it out. That's because it's not, in of itself, an actual slang term.
I disagree, I think the slang does convey rich meaning to the correct informal audience.
I would like to believe the slang is important code for another demographic that people can switch to.
As crazy as it may sound, I think depriving or deminishing the slang creates a divide culturally.

Seems like one of those annoying strict teachers to me lol
I think you underestimate the increase in the difficulty of teachers jobs in the last 5 years. They’ve lost a lot of their ability to even teach due to internet parenting and brain rot.

Apparently these rules exist in my house also. Just today, my Gen Z kid forbade me from ever saying rizz or Ohio again. Luckily, I don't live near Ohio, so I don't need these words for any functional purpose. In particular, she told me that Ohio has been over for, like, a year and I'm out of date on slang.
What I always love about it is that it's only outv of date in her age group social circles and it was out of date when she was using it too.
Banning slang is just gonna lead to the invention of new and more annoying slang. This is exactly how we got in this situation.
or more people learning and possibly adopting slang.
My mom works in a school with 1st through 5th graders. She messages me like twice a week for me to explain slang to her so she can know if she needs to explain to a child that it's wrong to say. I've learned so much new slang.
Ohio deserves this.
Like in Monty Python, the list of banned words:
B#M
B#TTY
P#X
KN#CKERS
KN#CKERS
W##-W##
SEMPRINI
W#NKEL R#TARY #NGINE

Is Ohio slang for something I'm unaware of?
Dull / boring / simple
Supposedly something that is "bad" or "cringe" or "weird"
Ok, that's great! I love the younger generations more and more each day
lol

Wait wait, let them cook
Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I've been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.
Ok I'll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.
Ohio is the worst state worth living in has always been my take

Why is there an elf... oh.
To the left of this there's a different list, "use more of these"
- DEI hire
- woke
- ...
Edit: This is a (poor) attempt on a sarcastic take, because when a teacher starts banning words like that, the next thought would be if they have a positive list?
Edit - misunderstood what you were saying. I'm sorry for the aggression in my comment.
Edit: I should've asked what they meant before replying. My bad for misunderstanding
I think he was implying that the same people who would want a list like this banning words like these would support enforcing the use of the above terms
Gotcha. I think I can see that now. But it was a bit of a stretch for me. lol
Normally the people that use "DEI hire" or "woke" are making "fun" of people that use those terms and using it ironically or incorrectly but I guess I can see how ppl can think those terms have been accepted as positive to say on the right and negative on the left (tho I dont fully agree, I still use woke like I did 5 or so yrs ago even if it confuses some ppl)
Glad I held back on all the other stuff I wanted to say 😅 I definitely need to work on asking people what they mean first. It's crazy how I didn't think there was any other way of looking at this one. lol
What's wrong with let him cook?! This list has some Ohio Rizz for sure
streets behind
The one they should really ban is "No but x". It makes no sense to start a sentence like that.
No but hear me out...
sucks to suck, gramps
guess the nouveau lingo is just too far out for youse
