Ohio is a no no word? But that's the name of a state?

Why is Ohio number three on this banned words list?

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Always has been.

[-] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 183 points 4 days ago

If this list was done for my class back when I was in school, realistically it'd just be slurs

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 101 points 4 days ago

Damn, you are probably right. Maybe this generation isn’t so doomed after all.

The best way to make sure everyone is saying those words is to ban them lol

[-] Goldholz 30 points 3 days ago

And best way to make them stop being used, is using them completely wrong and with the "i am hip with the teens" attitude

[-] rbamgnxl5@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago

This works so very well. Turn them from fun to cringe with one irritating parent move.

I threatened to get a Sigma Dad tshirt and wear it to my son's school. He's since stopped with all the sigma stuff.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

This reminds me of how John Oliver kept finding a way to work "on fleek" into his segments until it was declared no longer cool.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

I do this as well. Killed "bruh" in a weekend. The t-shirt idea is next level, though. Kudos.

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 92 points 3 days ago

I think you mean to say:

"Chat, is this generation COOKED?"

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 111 points 4 days ago

Roflcopter, what an epic fail! The speech patterns of other generations are so not tubular or radical! Unlike my generation holds up spork we're too random to to be lame!

I can't believe they really called out Emma like that lol

[-] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 54 points 3 days ago

Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.

Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.

[-] uriel238 18 points 3 days ago

Wait until you learn how seriously law enforcement took street gangs.

The whole Saints Row series was based on the dichotomy between incorrigible feral teens, a product of hands-off parenting while simultaneously running an international drug and crime syndicate

Of note is the property of ur-fascism the enemy [of the movement] is simultaneously strong and weak

Emma getting called out like that is hilarious

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago

Things I remember people complaining about at various times (I don't really recall gradeschool having any)

  • overuse (or use at all) of dude
  • doy
  • [no] duh
  • dweeb
  • overuse of awesome
  • various "surfer" slang (we all saw the TMNT movie)
  • at some point, maybe around high school, "my bad" became a thing. I still don't really like the phrase much.

I'm sure there are more locked somewhere in the recesses of my brain, but those are the ones that jump to mind. The internet was only really becoming a thing when I was in highschool and I lived in a very rural area for most of it so things spread much more slowly.

[-] hpucks@lemmy.world 64 points 4 days ago

How often was Emma saying Tweaking to get her own place on the board?

There was a shirt, it was Mario + Mushroom = Big Mario. Our administration thought this was a drug reference. Some nerdy kid would wear the shirt and about half way through the day they would be wearing it inside out.

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Literally a 40 year old reference, seniors still in working age was in their 20s when this game was released

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 days ago

As a teacher, I cannot tell you how much this changed my life. I just spew their random shit right at them, totally straight-faced, with a painful degree of enunciation. They do not say those words again in my presence. Their cringe feeds me. I also find it helpful to try to get them to define each term, in excruciating detail, then I destroy the word for them.

Sigma... ligma...

...but no sugma yet.

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 50 points 4 days ago

Ohio being on the list is pretty funny (assuming this is in the US). Going to make geography and history classes awkward.

What grade is this, that Edging and Goon were common enough terms that they had to be included here?

"Animal noises" is very broad. Furry persecution. :(

The fact that they lose "LiveSchool points", whatever those are, presumably for saying these words, is almost worse than the fact that they have this list at all. I don't know what that system is or how it works, but I already hate it.

This generation really is doomed - but not because of these words (or anything else it does, really)

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 33 points 4 days ago

I get the sense that this list is constantly growing and acts as an incentive to invent new words that end up on the list.

By that measure, Emma is a rockstar and Darius is being bullied by their classmates and the teacher.

[-] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 29 points 4 days ago

Chat, we are so cooked. Diddy hit me with stage 5 LIGMA in Ohio.🥀 I tried to tell the huzz, but I had massive beta energy 🪫🥶 and just stood there like goofy ahh broke boy NPC.🧍No mames! 😫
