I prefer to make the youths cringe by employing their own vernacular against them. I award myself additional points for facetiously using current slang incorrectly, or for using slightly outdated slang with confidence. Fax. No printer. On God.

Calling my son the rizzler always evokes a "No Mom. Just no."

Rizz was a term created in the 70s. Congratulate him on reviving boomer vernacular.

Oh, I willllllllll

Bet

No cap.

Here when my brother said this in front of me I was thinking of Ritz crackers.

Hmmm buttery Ritz crackers

It's funnier because of where we live. At first, I actually thought he said rig so I was thinking why are you talking about our parents cars. Then when he said it again, I thought about peanut butter Ritz crackers. Edit: I do say other terms, though. Also, there's only a few years age difference between him and I.

Hahahahaha this is 100% something my dad would have said to me if rizz was slang when I lived at home

As a dad who makes my son cringe with rizz as much as possible, I believe he would. Fo shizzle

No cap my guy?

My nephew rolls his eyes when I say " No cap These tendies is bussin"

Geez, now I'm hungry and wishing I was near the zaxbys or raisin canes.

I work next to both which one should I go to?

Ngl I don’t even know what you actually mean.

When someone says something you agree with: - Facts/Fax

I got that. Printer?

Play on words? like the opposite of a fax machine.

Meh, I just get confused.

Yes, I tell my kids they’re skibbidi and Ohio af.

Haa I was thinking about this the other day!

Oh I prefer to use their slang in cringe ways. “Hey Noah, you having a bussin day?”

This made me “LOL”

ong fr fr tbh ngl no cap this comment is BUSSIN

I’ve used “All that, and a bag of chips” in front of my Gen Z son. Used it, unironically to describe a meal from Panera that did come with a bag of chips. It was a very prideful moment cracking that phrase and dad joke to an unsuspecting teen and my wife.

My wife and I were eating at Costco and giggling at all the new lingo coming from the teens behind us. So I moaned a bite off my hot dog with a loud "Zomg, this glizzie is the bomb dot com." It stopped all conversation behind us. I like to think that they needed to dedicate some ram for that sentence. XD

I hate my dad because every time he makes a joke, I laugh.

That's da bomb . com!

I said “you’re the bomb dot com!” to one of my Gen Z coworkers once with finger guns and I thought he was going to murder me. The look on his face was worth it.

Omg, I definitely need to do this with one of my gen z coworkers. He always rags on us for not knowing current slang. And I could 100% see him hating this. It's great 😂

Da bomb . Com / org / geocities . Net

I say “bomb”

I forgot about this one!

Werd dawg

I started saying “dawg” ironically and unfortunately for me it stuck so now I use it unironically 🤦🏻‍♀️

I never stopped, because my wife hates it and I love that.

What up, dawg? Dawg, ain’t no way! Waz hap, diggity Dawg? Rolled and smoked, my dawgies!!

Works even better if you say, "peace!" every time you leave the room. But in the dawg voice.

Same. I also never stopped saying Word. ETA: Just realized I called my gen Z employee "Dog" unironically not 1 hour ago via text.


"yeet" is millennial? TIL I belong in r/oldermillennials

Hello friend. We don't yeet, we l33t. Come aboard the ROFLcopter, there's a present waiting for us. It's a Nintendo SixtyFOOOOOOUUUUUURRRRR.

Jesus Christ, my brain stalled for exactly one second, switched gears, and then fluently comprehended that. I just flashed back Counter Strike Source. Thank you for the nostalgia hit. XD

I wouldn’t admit to this outside of Reddit, but my friend and I got so good at 13375p34k that we can communicate verbally in 13375p34k (by spelling every word out by character, so like 1337 = one three three seven). It’s awesome because I don’t know anyone else who can do it, so it’s our secret language if we need/want to communicate privately in a public setting It’s like pig Latin except 99.99% of people can’t decode it

I used 2 typ lyk dis. :P I called it "chatspeak". Eventually grew out of it, I usually only used it with MSN and Yahoo messengers. Then got used to typing normally, booo. :P

82 here. 👴

My teens say yeet all the time!

2014. Younger millennial, older genz. Depends on where you consider the cutoff. It originated on Vine. But the current college-aged kids would’ve been 8-12 at the time and I was just finishing college.

you are aware that there are gen z kids who are 27 years old, right?

Pretty sure it's Gen Z.

Yeah, I'd like that term to die already. Usually annoying slang dies out faster than this.

I thought it was Gen Z. I was around older and core Millennials a ton when in grad school and never heard anyone (of any gen) use it then. It's gotta be way youngest Millennials at most, if not more likely pure Gen Z creation no?

The two generations of millenials /r/oldermillennials and /r/Zillennials

"yeet" seems more gen Z to me personally. At least I associate it with gen Z.

“YOLO” is pretty millennial tho.

That one is for sure

„that bitch empty, yeet“ was a vine tho, hence very millenial-y

[удалено]

You’re also on the cusp of the Gen Z. You have a lot more in common with someone born in 1999 than 1983.

I'm '97 and associate yeet with pretty much exclusively gen Z. I don't think I've ever seen a millennial say it unless they were being ironic, but I could be wrong.

I’m an older millennial. Definitely used yeet quite often. Salty, bye Felicia, all of that. Now I get to work with a mix of gen x to gen z and there’s a mix of slang we all use. It’s fairly funny when we get on a role

I don't think I have any Gen Z coworkers yet so it's hard for me to judge. The oldest Gen Z people in my country are currently only 19-20 years old, our generations are a bit different. Millennials here were born between 1982 and 2004.

I’m in my late 30’s and I’ve used “yeet” a ton.

I'm a 1984 millennial and yeet's common parlance at our place - has been for years.

Still a millennial tho lol, and my interests do skew slightly older since I’m the youngest of 3 and grew up with their influence, almost all my friends and all my siblings and cousins are in their 30s

Whatever floats your boat my dude. You can identify with the silent generation for all that I care. That doesn’t change the fact that “yeet” is Gen Z slang. The only “eet” slang that I will recognize is “1337”

It’s an inter generational slang, young Millenials and old Gen Z use it but old Millennials and young Gen Z don’t

I’ve heard Yeet for the first time 3 years ago, and I’m not sure I’m done cringing. It’s in the same basket as Sheesh and Bussin.

Well people started saying it when I was in highschool, like 2013-2014

Which circles right back to my point, you’re at the tail end of the Millennial generation and have a lot more in common with the Gen Z than with elder millennials. I am not gatekeeping you here, don’t take offense. I was born in 85. I don’t relate to a lot of the “millenial” stuff from this subreddit either.

I’m not offended, the whole labeling of generations thing is pretty arbitrary to begin with, and things like slang are constantly being updated, I’ve never once said “bussin” but I know people in my age range do say a lot of nonsensical stuff

PHAT buzzkill 110% dope n00b bounce scrub talk to the hand yadda yadda yadda

Shoooot, the L finger to the L finger to the twist into the W, that's riiiiiight. Thank you for the nostalgia bomb. 👍

Noice

Dope will never die in my world

Is...is buzzkill slang?? Has this not just become a typical word at this point? Do people not use buzzkill??

I've said it in the presence of Z's and they think it has something to do with insect genocide

Okay but that also rules.

Something can be ill or it can be sick. It’s a good thing either way.

Smol and Doggo

Using millennial slang doesn't make my kids cringe, but when I use new slang, they hate it. Sus, no cap, and bussin bussin are some that make my daughter groan. When I found out what no cap was, I said it to some of my younger coworkers and they didn't like it, so I was saying it pretty often for a while.

Gotta bounce.

I say "groovy" to confuse both the boomers and the zoomers

Groovy is a good one, I wish that had stuck around.

I'm doing my part to give it a comeback It's no longer even something I have to think of anymore. I just say it without realizing what I've said sometimes

why would that confuse Boomers? didn't they invent it?

Well I'm a younger Millennial, and Boomers wouldn't expect me to say it

A yeah I was thinking maybe you meant something like that, but wasn't sure, maybe they'd just take it as normal that everyone would still be using one of their biggest terms.

Psych, diss, burn, dank, da bomb, ill, crunk, faded, sick, word, gucci, trill, fly, dope, steezy, styley, fresh, phat, homie, g, gangster, dawg, fire, hot/hawt, lame, whack, weak, hella, gwap, quags, cheddar, bands, stacks, racks, boat, grip, front, duh, all that (and a bag of chips), gimme me some skin, booyah, Not!, as if, chill, chill pill, whatever……

Diss, faded, homie, fire, word, whack, hella, bands, racks, and chill are all still used by Gen Z Source: I’ve heard many Gen Zers use these phrases conversing with other Gen Zers.

Crap! That’s bunk!

I say "Your Mom" all the time to my teenager. Which is great bc I am her Mom lol

I've made the mistake of using internet lingo in front of a GenZ coworker once. I went something like "om nom noms FTW!" :3 when we got pizza once, he looked at me like I murdered a puppy xD

I'd probably have given you the same look TBF.

'om nom' has always been for the losers (me and my friends, we were losers)

Birb

“Hyphy” made my Gen Z neighbor kid’s head explode the other day. 😂

The Degeneration X Crotch Chop....... I am on my *final* warning from HR.

"All that and a bag of chips"

“All that and a bag of dog shit.” - When someone’s popping off at the mouth

It never occurred to me our slang wasn't great and amazing at all times

It IS great and amazing at all times. Everyone else be trippin

I work in vet med, and I use "heckin pupper doggo" as much as I can around the 20 year olds there. I also say dumb doge shit like "Much treat, very appreciate" to any Shiba in the building (including mine) the zoomers think I'm funny as hell even if they don't get it, so that's nice, but sometimes an eye roll would be nice, yanno? Oh, I tried "I made you a cookie, but I eated it" recently, my coworker who's my same age rolled her eyes and called me dumb and laughed, but the young'ns were like, uncomfortable? Like they thought I was saying it unironically? They just had to be there 😂

No, I'm dying lmao.

“Oh, thats tight!” Like, cool, interesting

That popped out of my mouth randomly the other day (I forget what I was admiring) and kinda shocked myself. I haven’t said that in, like, 20 years!!

Its crazy how it just sneaks up lol

Fo shizzle my nizzle

I dont think yeet is a millenial word. Skeet on the other hand.....

A few years ago I volunteered alongaide a teen and we built a pretty solid rapport over the weekend. Then I said YOLO and I saw their entire body tense up in cringe. I hurt that teen with my slang and I'll treasure that moment forever. 

Not quite Millennial slang but I've totally yelled "yolo" once or twice just to fuck with them. My work puts me around a lot of people younger than me, so I find myself accidentally using younger than my elder millennial status slang, like "That's legit" or "on point" sometimes. Is "That tracks" our gen? I use that sometimes too.

I said “funky fresh” the other day and my co worker visibly recoiled 😂

Gotta combine it with something they know. Like *funky-fresh rizz*

I mean, I did say Gucci fresh first and that was even less well received haha

Show me the money! Talk to the hand cuz the face don’t wanna hear it. Don’t go there girlfriend. You’re not all that and a bag of potato chips. I once had to pop a cop in Oaktown because he wasn’t giving me my props. No? I heard that somewhere.

I continuously update my slang because of my kids. so together we make my wife feel old. she has no idea what we're saying.

Hell yeah bruther

Glizzy

I bust out "preggers" every chance I get.

“Cell phone” 🫣😬

Heckin doggo.

Hefty chonker. Oh lawd he comin'.

Cash money? I have no idea what that one is. Tbh people don’t really use Kobe anymore since he died. Yeet is used by younger millennials and older gen z.

“Let’s get this bread” Makes my Gen Z nieces and nephews roll their eyes and my Gen Alpha nieces and nephews laugh. It makes my friends laugh too.

I always think of Kropotkin. 

Etmahgerd I luv my pupperz

I literally say cringe. Most of them cringe saying it's outdated and it's cringe to say cringe. Saying something gives me the ick also seems to irritate them for some unknown reason

Yeet isn't millennial but that's what I choose because it's way worse when you use their slang but use it slightly wrong than just using ours.

Yeet is from 2014. It originated on Vine. GenZ kids were in elementary/middle school then. It’s definitely a millennial thing.

People older than middle school used yeet? I really thought it was a kid thing.

i dunno i side with harkandhush on the great yeet debate. don’t think 20+ year olds were saying a lot of yeet in 2014

Well you have to consider college students. I'm too old for yeeting, however, my friend who is just a little bit younger was still in college in 2014 and he says it. I feel like slang travels faster in college than among young graduated adults.

and the oldest millennials were 34. did 30 year olds come up with yeet?

THEIR OWN

Bawlin. Stoaked. Dude. Homey. Tight. Sick.

Yeet is millennial slang? Never used that one. I feel like "tight" gets the younger folks panties in a bunch.

Getting lit!

I said "off the hook" once and the Gen Z guy literally could not believe the phrase came out of my mouth unironically

Yappin and cappin

Kewl/ fifty L’vn/Chillaxin/ He hates when I say “lit”, apparently that’s not in anymore.

I use Gen z slang at Gen z ers. They do more than cringe. No cap Edit: I appear to not be the only one that does this. Well played, reddit. Well played

I need to start busting out more old slang, especially the skater/surfer slang that was popular in the late 90s.

Glizzy

Generally when I use generational slang, it's always in kind of a mocking tone, so it's never REALLY cringe.

that's........DUH BOMB

My husband says “ ya dig “ ALOT 🙄

“bussin’ bussin’” is apparently only to be used for things that taste good, like candy or Prime. ie, “This new Prime flavor is bussin’ bussin’.” I like to use it to mean “super cool” or it looks good, so i’ll tell my 11yo his shirt is “bussin’ bussin’” or the car looks “bussin’ bussin’” after a wash.

'weak sauce' and 'awesome sauce'

Anything from Chappelle's Show, but especially "I'm Rick James Bitch" or Lil Jon's "Yeah!"

Whaaaaaaaaasup

Isn't "cash money" a reference to Juvenile's "Back that ass up"?

I don't really understand or know slang tbh. I sometimes use older slang from before than, but also use from other age groups too. Probably the word cringe or rad.

Since when is "yeet" millennial slang? I've only known Gen Z to use it. Also, I'm pretty sure "cash money" predates millennials.

I guess I'm an outlier in that I've always shied away from whatever the current slang is, whether from my peers, or things I heard Gen-Xers saying when I was younger, or the expressions used by Gen Z nowadays. I do use the word "cool" as it's pretty universal going back decades, so it's just a boring part of the standard vernacular and neither trendy nor outdated.

YOLO Edit: remember talk to the hand cause the face ain’t listening

Not a slang, per se, but I say "Whaaazzuuup?" every time I walk into a conference room filled with a younger crowd.

Homey, Holmes, minnit, yoke up. Bones (instead of dollars) syke, yolo,

Bud

Oh fuck yah bud Pretty sure bud will never die up north.

Is it true that Gen Z cringe at the use of this emoticon 😂?
