A 2018 study of -ussy usage on Twitter as part of the meme identified 1,338 "pussy blends"

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Pussy blends sounds like it would be part of the design process of certain sex toys 😄

The English language is so amazing. You've never heard the word avocadussy before, but you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say it

[-] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Wikipedia really should get its own rule (like rule34) if it doesn't have one yet. Rule 404 or something I'd think, it would go something like "Everything you can think of will have a Wikipedia entry. If you searched for something on Wikipedia and got a 404 error, refresh the site."

My Italian heart is having mixed feelings about this expression...

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's also full of marinara. Italian blood is THICK

[-] FedFer@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

Well, marinara sauce isn't really that common actually, but my blood definitely contains a lot of pasta and ragù XD

[-] TheBlue22 87 points 1 year ago

Kobe for accuracy. Yeet for distance. The golden rule.

[-] ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

The less you try to understand it the more it makes sense. (Also 23)

Stupid slang is stupid but it has existed forever (70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers). I say loosen up and enjoy the stupid words. I remember in highschool common slang words were...jit (younger person), fam(friends), on-god(honestly/swear to god), shook (startled, surprised), thirsty(desperate), extra(too much). All of these words were stupid and I resisted using them, but now I just kinda vibe with the people in my life and the stupid slang slowly seeps in.

Granted I've low-key adopted a lot of random shit from different generations just because I enjoy the word more than the original one. Idk life is short, so why waste time trying to understand things that are just going to change in a year, when you can just be in the moment and focus on what's important?

[-] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I think it's funny that you used slang that has just been adopted into common language in your post, like low key and vibe.

Slang is normal, and language evolves over time, new words and phrases being created is fine and some of them stick and others don't.

[-] ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Whenever I think of slang I just imagine that scene from the office, "why use lot word when fewer do trick?" Slang is basically that statement being applied into an actual functional modification to language.

So fuck it fam, live it up. Vibe with the times or whatever. Just don't overdo it lest you sound a little silly (but that's the worst that comes from slang...you just sound a little silly)

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers

fwiw "jeepers creepers" is from the 1930s.

[-] ClaireDeLuna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh huh, til. Ngl I assumed it was 70's due to Scooby Doo :p

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

No cap fam, but they got the rizz, so...

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

quirked up lemmy user with a little bit of swag busts it down confused style ... is he goated with the sauce?

[-] daellat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Dopamine release pushed to the extreme. If a video takes longer than 10s it needs a second video or reactor in split screen. Also loud = funny

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Loud had always been funny. Pewdiepie got his start screaming at Minecraft.

[-] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I am 23 also but I feel like I am 80... ehh what's that sonny?

[-] BluesF@feddit.uk 83 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are they really defining one slang term using two other slang terms?

[-] SkyeStarfall 32 points 1 year ago

Used long enough a slang term just becomes part of the language.

For example, "cool" used to be slang. Would you say it's still slang? Or just part of the English language now?

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a 40-something, I'm really enjoying watching younger Millennials struggle with Gen Z culture. The wheel keeps turning.

This isn't a gen z thing specifically, but every time someone says "touching grass" I hear "touching fabric." It's like everyone has become really into to the idea of shitting their pants. Did you know shitting your pants every day is good for your mental health?

[-] sunnie@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 year ago

that better not be a real article

Some of these definitions are hilarious. Someone who didn't know what "Bussy" meant could read the entry for it here, and still be just as confused.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 year ago

My favorite is "facts": literally the dictionary definition of facts

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Popularized in 2017

How could those silly old folks be expected to know what 'facts' means? It wasn't popularized until 2017!

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

Also the use of "period" as an interjection, which according to the list was invented in 2010 and has not been in use in some form since the 3rd century BCE.

"Boujee: a high-class/materialistic person"

I wish I knew it for a more legitimate reason, but ROSE Online burned 'bourgeois' into my brain permanently

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah ROSE! I loved that game. It was the closest game to a 3D Ragnarok Online (Ro2 doesn’t exist)

[-] seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

The definition for "ded" is bespoke:

Laughter and death as a combined concept has been present since Ancient Greece, where it is held that Zeuxis died from laughing at a portrait of an ugly woman he was painting. Ded stems from a folk etymology for dead reckoning. Emerged on the internet in the early 1990s as a representation for regional speech.

[-] Miphera@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Idk, I'm 28 and know like 95% of these. Maybe I just spend too much time online lol

It's surprisingly accurate

[-] rustbuckett@lemmings.world 16 points 1 year ago

Are we sure this is English. It reads like a bad translation.
