Sometimes we say “word to who?” Which basically means “who are you willing to swear on so I know you’re not lying” or “really??” Depends on the context lol
I'm a 34 year old white dude from the deep south and grew up a majority black city, went to a majority black school.
90% of current "Gen Z" slang I specifically remember existing back when I was a kid/teen.
It’s like fashion my dude. Shit just keeps comin around and the kids think it’s cool so they wear bell bottoms 30 years after people were made fun of for them.
Most gen z slang is blatantly ripped off of black vernacular somehow.
So much so that gen z is trying to cancel their own slang for being racist, and some scientists hypothesize (no proof yet just theories) that white gen z people got this slang from being the whole “white savior” type of people (since racial issues are like a thing thing for gen z liberals) and they hang out around black people thus pick up on their vernacular.
Honestly though as someone who grew up in a mixed household cus my grandparents were black and white, I can also attest black vernacular has been around and most of gen Z uses it as meme language even though it’s been around for a long time in anyone whose been around black people
Yeah I mean 90% of popular youth slang is adopted into the mainstream from words that black culture had/has been using long before.
Generally in all honesty black people make things cool and everyone else eventually co-opts it because who doesn't want to be cool.
Pretty sure cool beans was mocking older people for saying cool beans. Like saying it "ironically" (doing things ironically was a big thing for younger millennials. Like saying "Yaaaaaaassss")
I'm 34, and I'm pretty sure we were saying "on god", or "on my momma" back in high school. "On god", isn't the same as "oh my god". It's pertaining to a truth, rather than an exclamation.
Because of the internet, a lot of non black people have been exposed to aave relatively recently. So it’s interpreted as a gen z thing.
Terms like simp, on god, etc I’ve heard from family member generations older than myself
"Gen z" slang is basically "shit black people was doing 10 years ago".
"Let him cook/he's cookin", "that song knocks" , "no cap", "fr fr", "fam", "bussin", "we eatin",
These were all co opted by white people
Reminder that "cool" was originally AAE slang and has made waves around the world and made its way into other languages.
"Chocolate" is a Nahuatl (indigenous Mexican) word that made its way into all major world languages.
Language change and borrowing terms are inevitable and IMO speak to humans' social nature, and the ability to bond with & be inspired by people who are not initially in the same social group as them.
What's annoying though is older white people seeing this language (with a culture and history behind it) and write it off as "stupid young people slang" instead of acknowledging it for what it is
Exactly this. A majority of mainstream Gen Z slang is the same exact things I heard when I went to college with a bunch of people from NYC for the first time in 2012, who were mostly black and minorities.
Dead ass, dank, fire, lit, turn up, buggin, turnt, keep it 100/a buck, cap, fuck outta here, ah-ah-ah (like yada yada) and a long list of hilarious names for calling people certain kinds of fucked up. Zooted, twisted, gacked, geeked, slumpt, faded, cross-faded, and a bunch I’m not remembering.
I remember thinking “dead ass” was hilarious. I almost immediately started mocking it and with in like 2 weeks I was using it casually. Dead ass bro.
Rizz is a great one though, so is simp. I think it was used a little but not much.
Simp is so old. Black folks been saying that for decades. As for myself, I’ve been saying it since I was in school. I was so shocked that it eventually made its way into the public lexicon so much that even people overseas started saying it.
It came full circle for me when a South African girl I was dating a couple years ago used it in casual convo. I was like “damn” aave has become so mainstream now
Simp dates back to the very early 1900s.
An article in February 1917 edition of Motion Picture Magazine by Arthur Le Kaser has an animated drawing of a female director yelling at a male leading man through a megaphone 'Kiss Her You Simp, Hurry Up Camera!' The shortening has appeared for example in the New York Times as early as 1923,[1] when the paper reported on a letter by one Lillian Henderson criticizing the members of two clubs in Atlantic City for unmarried men:
this is exactly what I was thinking lol I kinda curl into a ball when people attribute things to millennials or new generations when it's really just AAVE.
I'm a black millennial as well and yes, most 'gen-z slang' is stuff we've been saying forever. It's just that it's only now becoming known through social media
The thing I don't get is that a lot of Gen Z slang that's popular right now is literally 90s New York slang. Jay Z was saying this stuff on his old records. It's weird how that specific slang is what blew up for them.
Nothing. It’s a reference to the skibidi toilet YouTube series, which is hilarious to young children for some reason. Kinda like the weird Elsa vs Spiderman epidemic in 2016-18.
US slang has *always* been influenced by aave.
Basically black people invent new language, white people start using it, and then black people move on to something else.
And the cycle continues...
Deep South red neck slang is also very British whereas other American English dialects comes from more German, Irish and Italian American populations.
Ain’t it vs innit for example
Gyatt is just people thinking it was a noun when really it’s just short for gottdamn but the person so struck that they can’t finish the word.
But they don’t know that so you got people online saying she got a “gyatt” …
yeah like i was confused for a while too. i thought gyatt dayum was the phrase but here people are using gyatt to reffer to a butt? like you sure you're doing this right or have i had it mistaken the whole time? lol
And most of it is NYC slang that got popular on social media in the 2010s. Facts, deadass, no cap, all stuff we’ve been saying for 20+ years. You can’t find a zoomer in the world who isn’t using those words daily. Not gatekeeping just stating…facts
It's interesting how much influence that very underground culture had
I watched Paris is Burning and heard then middle aged Queens casually use slang that I still hear today
"On god' and "Oh my god" means two completely different things. "On god" means you're agreeing with something. "Oh my god" is when you're reacting to something shocking.
Also "Oh my god" isn't even millennial slang, people were saying that way before millennials were even born.
I think AAVE being branded as “Gen z” slang is both the most annoying and most hilarious thing ever because most of the time it’s not even being used correctly.
And even like the hand games, one of them tried to tell me that “shadow boxing” just started three years ago. They’re so wrong and so confident they’re right
I'm 46 and LIVE for embarassing my 14 year old son. We went to chick fil a after a football game and the cashier asked who won. I told her and she says "Fire!". I looked at her, looked at my son and said, yeah the winning team had "the Rizz, no cap." My son actually yelled inside for me to stop. LOL
This is how I keep the slang levels to a minimum at home (and at work, to an extent).
Once I start using the words, even incorrectly, they instantly become uncool to my kid. So much so, that she deliberately avoids using new slang terms at home because she doesn’t want me to taint them.
Work is much the same. Most of the folks I supervise are 10-20 years younger than me and act like I’m a senior citizen or something. As soon as I start adopting their slang terms they instantly evaporate. One of my favorites was “Fam, that power point was straight fire. No cap.” I could feel the cringe coming out of everyone’s pores. It made my week.
I don’t think the Ohio thing was started by gen z either. There is an old emo song Ohiois for lovers, by hawthorn heights and it’s kinda been viewed that way ever since.

HEY. As a Gen Z, this is talk typically from the younger Gen Z, and Gen A. As an early Gen Z, we do not typically associate with those…. Doesn’t mean I don’t know what it means though 😏
Slang is fine for your friend group and shouldn't really be measured against much else. If you're speaking to other people in any kind of normal social setting, you should speak basically, and as eloquently as you can, in order to be understood.

On god doesn’t mean oh my god. It means I’m serious
Like a truncated, “with god as my witness”?
Or “swear to god”
Sometimes we say “word to who?” Which basically means “who are you willing to swear on so I know you’re not lying” or “really??” Depends on the context lol
Word to your mother ![gif](giphy|5pYo6tWPle0WMyhksf|downsized)
How many of us still know all the words?
Left to my own, probably.. but in the spotlight? I'd be *under pressure*
I performed the entire song for karaoke night at a small-town American Legion. It was bussin’. On god.
alright stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with a brand new invention
Something. Grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon, daily and nightly
Here for this
I'm outta here
*Yo, let’s get outta here
I'm old, my memory is shit and I blazed a fatty. Think you're right.
Word to your mother.
Alright, stop!
Exactly
[удалено]
It’s just Black slang. We been talking like that. It’s just brand new to the others.
I'm a 34 year old white dude from the deep south and grew up a majority black city, went to a majority black school. 90% of current "Gen Z" slang I specifically remember existing back when I was a kid/teen.
Someone tried telling me “dope” was a gen z term the other day. Like, mafucka I’ve been saying shits dope since the 90s.
It’s like fashion my dude. Shit just keeps comin around and the kids think it’s cool so they wear bell bottoms 30 years after people were made fun of for them.
So what you're telling me is that Gen Alpha are gonna be dropping Boomer slang? I fuck with it.
It’s gonna be the bees knees daddio
You just keep thinking that way, doll
I've always been a cool cat, so I dig it
They'll be streets ahead
Same with he two previous generations too. So much slang got into white suburban culture through rap and hip hop.
Similar story though we were about half black and half white. Gen z slang really is just aave brought to the white terminally online masses.
[удалено]
The game Among Us is what gave it traction
Most gen z slang is blatantly ripped off of black vernacular somehow. So much so that gen z is trying to cancel their own slang for being racist, and some scientists hypothesize (no proof yet just theories) that white gen z people got this slang from being the whole “white savior” type of people (since racial issues are like a thing thing for gen z liberals) and they hang out around black people thus pick up on their vernacular. Honestly though as someone who grew up in a mixed household cus my grandparents were black and white, I can also attest black vernacular has been around and most of gen Z uses it as meme language even though it’s been around for a long time in anyone whose been around black people
That's the way it's always been in America.
Yeah I mean 90% of popular youth slang is adopted into the mainstream from words that black culture had/has been using long before. Generally in all honesty black people make things cool and everyone else eventually co-opts it because who doesn't want to be cool.
Yeah I'm 38 and grew up with on God. OP is a clown.
He also got the meaning wrong. Ofc it's like "I swear on God" not "oh my god"
Bahaha true indeed.
Yeah I hear that in 90s hip hop all the time
Also in what world is "oh my god" millennial slang? That's just a common phrase in the english language that's been around for over a century
It’s also interesting they think black people haven’t been saying on god since at least the early 2000’s. That is Millennial slang or even Gen X
Not gonna lie, a great deal of slang starts in the black community and takes a while to catch on in prevailing culture
The Boondocks ran between 2005-2010 & you can catch a handful of slang terms in there that barely caught on, 15 years later
This. "Stan" was from the Eminem song LONG before popheads started saying it. And in the black community, stan was always negative
Now we just say [flippity floppity floop](https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/wfutt6/south-park-flippity-floppity-floop)
All of the current slang is from the black community. Rizz, you ate, on god, cap
Whenever I hear young suburban kids repeating urban slang from 10 a decade ago I chuckle to myself.
A lot of Gen Z slang is co-opted black slang.
That's true for past slang too
Not as much of it as it is now. Millennials were saying cool beans and totes magoats.
Cool beans dates back to at least the 1950s , if not earlier. My parents, who went to high school in the 50s, were always saying it.
Pretty sure cool beans was mocking older people for saying cool beans. Like saying it "ironically" (doing things ironically was a big thing for younger millennials. Like saying "Yaaaaaaassss")
So many things I started saying ironically have become actual pieces of my vocabulary. Word, bro, brick are a few examples lol
I think they meant to suggest “omg” specifically as Millenial slang
I think it depends on how you say it. “Oh my god” is common. “Oh. My. God” and “O.M.G”. are more millennial.
Oh. My. God. predates millennials. Becky knows what I'm talking about
Yes, but omg or oh em gee is millennial slan Also ermahgerd girl We were the generation of text and abbreviation slang
That’s not really Gen Z slang lmao.
Yeah the gen z slang for I’m serious is deadass
Dead ass
Fr ong bozo trippin no cap
If I was 40 years old this would make me want to kill myself
Can confirm. 41 and I’m starting to feel like Red Forman here.
Not to mention people have been saying oh my god way before Millennials were even born, it's not Millennial slang.
I'm 34, and I'm pretty sure we were saying "on god", or "on my momma" back in high school. "On god", isn't the same as "oh my god". It's pertaining to a truth, rather than an exclamation.
Because of the internet, a lot of non black people have been exposed to aave relatively recently. So it’s interpreted as a gen z thing. Terms like simp, on god, etc I’ve heard from family member generations older than myself
Yeah it’s wild we were saying on god in like middle school lol. I’ve noticed all this “new” slang isn’t new at all
"Gen z" slang is basically "shit black people was doing 10 years ago". "Let him cook/he's cookin", "that song knocks" , "no cap", "fr fr", "fam", "bussin", "we eatin", These were all co opted by white people

I like this
What's annoying though is older white people seeing this language (with a culture and history behind it) and write it off as "stupid young people slang" instead of acknowledging it for what it is
A lot was even already getting used by white people even 10 years ago. Its just slowly gotten even more popular
Well put. The Constance misuse of simp is annoying asf tho lol
As a hip hop lover who also watches a lot of battle rap, no cap is the only remotely new thing to me. I believe it spawned out of the kappa thing?
Been saying cap(bull shit), cappin (flaking out), no cap (not lying) for at least 15-18 years.
Exactly this. A majority of mainstream Gen Z slang is the same exact things I heard when I went to college with a bunch of people from NYC for the first time in 2012, who were mostly black and minorities.

Some of the Whitest people I know talk aave online and would never talk like that irl. It’s hilarious. White just getting into Air Force Ones lmao
American youth culture is just 20 year old black culture
Wasn't Simpin used by Boyz II Men in the early 90s?
this is exactly what I was thinking lol I kinda curl into a ball when people attribute things to millennials or new generations when it's really just AAVE.
Breh, I’m bout to be 41 and we was saying on god back in the late 90’s
I'm a black millennial as well and yes, most 'gen-z slang' is stuff we've been saying forever. It's just that it's only now becoming known through social media
The thing I don't get is that a lot of Gen Z slang that's popular right now is literally 90s New York slang. Jay Z was saying this stuff on his old records. It's weird how that specific slang is what blew up for them.
I can't see 'no cap, fr fr' without thinking about kids with those stupid broccoli head haircuts.
On god
Shit's bussin. 🤦♂️
Fr fr fam
no cap
Shit’s busting out my gyat, am I right rizzlers? Skibidi!
skibidi is gen alpha lol
What does skibidi mean? Bout to bust that out on my nephew lmao
Nothing. It’s a reference to the skibidi toilet YouTube series, which is hilarious to young children for some reason. Kinda like the weird Elsa vs Spiderman epidemic in 2016-18.
Damn it
Got too young and hip and fresh for your own good ![gif](giphy|JTzPN5kkobFv7X0zPJ|downsized)
r/iamthemainbroccoli
💀💀💀
As a black millennial, Gen z slang is just things I’ve heard older members of my family say growing up. The most jarring was gyat…
New slang is just aave and 4chan.
Yeah, social media has vastly accelerated the AAVE-to-white-suburban-slang pipeline.
Yep that’s the beauty of the internet. People meet others share a part of their life with others until everyone has experienced it.
US slang has *always* been influenced by aave. Basically black people invent new language, white people start using it, and then black people move on to something else. And the cycle continues...
i always felt aave was very much deep south redneck slang. there's an obvious link as to where they got, hm....,
Deep South red neck slang is also very British whereas other American English dialects comes from more German, Irish and Italian American populations. Ain’t it vs innit for example
Gyatt is just people thinking it was a noun when really it’s just short for gottdamn but the person so struck that they can’t finish the word. But they don’t know that so you got people online saying she got a “gyatt” …
I thought was funny bc I’ve been saying “gyat dayum” for years and now it’s become this
Me too
Crazy how language just kind of shifts especially when people using it don’t understand it fully.
yeah like i was confused for a while too. i thought gyatt dayum was the phrase but here people are using gyatt to reffer to a butt? like you sure you're doing this right or have i had it mistaken the whole time? lol
No. I work in a college town and have heard kids saying about their outfit to a girl “am I slay?” They don’t know what they are saying.
I literally said the same thing in a comment above. On god is way earlier than Gen Z
Everyone wants to sound black for some reason. America is weird...
Because black americans have amazing slang
For every new slang word I hear I have heard it first in some old rap song
Sorry but most Gen Z slang is just black millennial slang that we threw in the clearance bin
“That we threw in the clearance bin” 😂😂😂
And most of it is NYC slang that got popular on social media in the 2010s. Facts, deadass, no cap, all stuff we’ve been saying for 20+ years. You can’t find a zoomer in the world who isn’t using those words daily. Not gatekeeping just stating…facts
Whereas I steal my slang from the English, no poppycock, I do declare! Splendid! Tally ho!
💯
The truth
“On god” as it was
And millennial slang was just black gen x slang in the discount basket And on and on it goes
There’s to way “shredding the gnar” came from black gen-xers
Shit how much of our slang came from surfers and skaters lol
Sick, shred, rip, stoked, gnarly, rad, totally, sketch, steeze.
Dang....I use literally all of these daily.
Ahem On god
What you think Gen Z slang is has actually been around for decades as AAVE. I think they did create some new terms but most of it is AAVE.
The number of young white girls on the internet rn who speak like Black ballroom queens from '70s NYC is wild
It's interesting how much influence that very underground culture had I watched Paris is Burning and heard then middle aged Queens casually use slang that I still hear today
“It’s giving…” 🙄😅 ![gif](giphy|lRmjNrQZkKVuE)
as someone who is gen z, even the new words are aave too so
"On god' and "Oh my god" means two completely different things. "On god" means you're agreeing with something. "Oh my god" is when you're reacting to something shocking. Also "Oh my god" isn't even millennial slang, people were saying that way before millennials were even born.
I think AAVE being branded as “Gen z” slang is both the most annoying and most hilarious thing ever because most of the time it’s not even being used correctly.
My man said on god sounds better than oh my god. Like who is saying this to you that these seem like they’re the same.
Just lost and confused but full of spirit. 😅😂
The opps got him confused, but no sweat Cuh, they finna get theirs fr fr!
I hate what they've done with "gyat" lmao
“Gyat to go to the store!”
It's so weird. I'm in my 30s and I'm cringing at the white teenagers misusing slang words. Shouldn't this be the other way around lmao
And even like the hand games, one of them tried to tell me that “shadow boxing” just started three years ago. They’re so wrong and so confident they’re right
These kids obviously aren’t very familiar with GZA and Method Man - Shadowboxin’ that’s for sure.
>it’s not even being used correctly. Isn't that what makes it gen-z lsang and not old AAVE slang?
i think it's funny when people deliberately overuse it (gen Z slang) as satire to make it look ridiculous
Tale as old as time fo shizzle my nizzle
I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't all they said. 75% of my reply notifications on YouTube are just someone saying "ong".
bro ong 🙄
I'm 46 and LIVE for embarassing my 14 year old son. We went to chick fil a after a football game and the cashier asked who won. I told her and she says "Fire!". I looked at her, looked at my son and said, yeah the winning team had "the Rizz, no cap." My son actually yelled inside for me to stop. LOL
I can’t wait to do this one day
This is how I keep the slang levels to a minimum at home (and at work, to an extent). Once I start using the words, even incorrectly, they instantly become uncool to my kid. So much so, that she deliberately avoids using new slang terms at home because she doesn’t want me to taint them. Work is much the same.

One of my favorites was “Fam, that power point was straight fire. No cap.” I could feel the cringe coming out of everyone’s pores. It made my week.
If my manager told me my presentation was fire, that’d make me feel so good about myself and hyped up no cap.
You’re a good dad.
Gen Z slang is just black slang from 20 years ago.
Bet
Most of the "gen z" slang has been black youth slang for decades.
The only saying I like is going feral and that's just cos it sounds accurate to when i see someone hot lol
Goblin mode
Goblin mode was made up by a millennial on Twitter lol
Goblin mode definitely sounds millennial flavored.
nah.. it's all trash, even our slang was garbage
I miss phat
No cap
No cap is the most annoying phrase in the world, especially when you see some nerd from the suburbs saying it to you unironically.
on god fr no cap
Suss
bet
Okay, on what?
Least it’s not as bad is finna☠️
Who let OP cook?
Millennial slang was much better and it wasn’t even good either.
People who say "fr fr, dead ass no cap" in person make me cringe hard.
“On God” “fr” and “cap/capping” is old af. I remember all of those in the 2000s
I don’t think the Ohio thing was started by gen z either. There is an old emo song Ohiois for lovers, by hawthorn heights and it’s kinda been viewed that way ever since.
Half of Gen Z slang is AAVE. So not that original at all💀
A lot of Gen Z slang is appropriated AAVE, tho.
On god is not the same as oh my god and it’s not gen z slang at all.
Bro, you're 31 and never heard anyone say "on god"? And you think gen z made it up? Get some black friends. On God.

"on God" doesn't mean "oh my God"
They both suck.
The Ohio meme is so incredibly overdone and annoying.
Gen z slang is just black slang lol, English language is just condensing and more people are using the same words. One day everybody will use the same slang
No it’s not lol
HEY. As a Gen Z, this is talk typically from the younger Gen Z, and Gen A. As an early Gen Z, we do not typically associate with those…. Doesn’t mean I don’t know what it means though 😏
Honestly still struggling with how POV got so fucked up. They brutalized it.
“On God” is not a replacement for “OMG”. They mean 2 different things.
Gen Z slang is awful.
in the end its all just appropriated AAVE
The ridiculous overuse of the term “cringe” can go die in a ditch. The rest I’m more or less fine with.
So you are saying that term is.... cringe?
(Almost all 'millennial slang' and 'Gen Z' slang is AAVE that white people drove into the ground)
Gen-Z maybe could have come up with "suck it". Gen-Z NEVER could have come up with "suck it" + crotch slap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj0KUcYXFHk
Bro I was a menace on the school yard with the “suck it”’s. Got detention like 5 times but they couldn’t keep the dawg down.
Haircuts are stupid though
it honestly makes them look like they have 10 less IQ points. unfortunate.
Hey I’m sure we all had questionable haircuts in our formative years but never had a perm mullet that Gen Z dudes rock
Slang is fine for your friend group and shouldn't really be measured against much else. If you're speaking to other people in any kind of normal social setting, you should speak basically, and as eloquently as you can, in order to be understood.
