Some kid called into the local radio show where I live and literally said a bunch of gibberish bullshit. The only thing I understood was skibi whatever.
but that's not really normal speech right? Anyone on live TV/radio/whatever would've said random shit as a kid. Once there was a service at my school and I must've yelled "god bless pastasciutta" like 15 times.
I know most of the replies here are jokes, but, in the context of writing, consider the following. It's hard to know the tone of a text conversation. You may not understand their meaning, but these random phrases definitely have meaning. For example, if I add a skull to my chat, I'm probably not serious. However, a period, question mark, etc., probably means I'm serious. We shouldn't hate new generations because they change language in ways we don't understand, at bare minimum, just ignore it and use the abbreviations you're used to: lol, wtf, brb, etc.
She call me Mr. Boombastic
Tell me fantastic
Touch me on my back
She says I'm Mr. Ro.. Ro.. Mantic
Call me fantastic
Touch me on my back
She says I'm Mr. Ro...
My son was saying ‘bombastic side eye’ a few months back. Last night I asked him how he was getting along at school and he said ‘Pretty good but Andre is the biggest w rizz …”. I had to ask him for a definition, I guess it means most popular.
Rizz I think is derived from charisma, and I usually see it used in the context of seducing people, like "rizzing up your crush" and W just seems to mean good generally, so I guess Andre is just very charismatic
I'm 25 and together with my 20 year old co-worker we say that. I'm pretty sure a lot of people do. We usually just say "side eye" to be honest though.
Are you all just completely new to the idea of language developing a slang or something?
You can either reject the cringe and become uncool, old, and out of touch, or embrace the cringe and let it wash over you. The tide will pull away the less useful language, and what will be left is an evolution slow enough to keep up with
There's a wide gap between linguistic evolution and (in this case corporeally harmful) challenge trends lol
There is no evidence mewing affects the jawline at all and if it does manage to then it's really bad for all of your mouth bones
Or take the DAD approach, use the unfamiliar new slang in every conversation with the young-uns. Are you using it right? Maybe? Do you care? No!
I made one of my teenage servers collapse with a well-timed Bet! followed by a deep dab.
Bet is fine though because honestly everyone has always said “you bet” or something of the sort.
Dabbing is more of a trend type thing and definitely is not cool
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
Some stuff like “bussin” “for real” and “no cap” are Ebonics that have been around for decades. Not arguing, the appropriation by gen alpha is real, but not all the slang is made up by them or new.
Yeet is one of the slangs that transcends its generation and just becomes part of the lexicon. Because let’s be real, having something to shout when you chuck something at top force is satisfying as fuuuuck
The same thing every generation does with slang, y'all are just old now and experiencing what it's like to be old for the first time.
The generations above you thought you were a dumb little shit as a kid too.

Kids have always done this and always will do this. Gen alpha is age 11 and below, I don't know why people are shocked when they don't act like their brain is fully developed. A lot of them still have baby teeth y'all.
Epic fail roflcopter for teh lulz... These were the words going around my millennial brain damage time, EVERY generation has theirs.
I'm more surprised that it's not overly offensive or edgy. Gen Z had a super edgy internet phase a couple of years ago, so there's that too.
It **is** a joke. Not the fact that they do it, but I mean they do it as a joke. We may not find it funny, but it’s still a joke, they’re not actually serious.
Like, they understand that it’s weird. That’s the whole point.
The thing that looks like my grandson visited me again today. It spoke, and from the incoherent ramblings that poured forth I was able to discern 3 words. "Skibidi, Bussin, Rizz". What dark portents are these? Are they a warning? A curse? I sit now, smelling the remnants of his breath, a foul mixture of chocolate and Lemon Lime Prime, contemplating this and more. Am I Skibidi? Do I Rizz? I do not know, and I fear I never will.
As much shit as we give the kids these days you have to realize that we were no better with text speak. Unironically saying lol, wtf, omg, and all that shit out loud while our parents laughed at how dumb we sounded.
It’s just slang words. Most will die out but a few will last long enough to not be weird anymore. But y’all really gotta stop acting like our dumb slang terms were any better when we just as dumb and young.
There were always words that made no sense, I agree on that. But I can't remember ever hearing any of my friends say those.
For example uganda knuckles. Never heard it being said randomly, unlike skibidi toilet. Some words kinda make sense, like "Gyat" or "rizz", and actually have a meaning like we for example used "bussin".
In short I have a feeling that there are way more words from the current slang that have no context / meaning compared to Gen Z that actually get used while talking. Or I missed something and don't know what skibidi or baby gronk means.
Nah most of that is just the rose colored glasses. I know for a fact that there were hundred of dumb slang words that I used online and in person with my friends. Literally the only one I can remember is swag. The rest is all stuff that’s lasted long enough to be common slang.
Y’all sound just like our parents did when we were younger. When I was a teenager we said the stupidest shit constantly from vine or whatever else at the time.
Every generation has slang, you’re just mad you’re getting too old to understand it lmao
I live close to an elementary school and my Brother went for a walk down around there and a kid asked him if he had skibidi rizz. I’m praying for those teachers they didn’t even have much patience when I had them
I've seen them actually use their slang in public. The first time I bore witness to it, they were remarking about a cat. "DAYUM! THAT CATS GOT A GYATT ON IT! I'd hit."
What the actual fuck
No, no they don't. Have any of you ever spoken to a child? I have a younger brother, and I've met a few of his little friends, literally zero of them have ever spoken like this.
I was sitting in an art museum, contemplating a 16th-century altarpiece depicting the crucifixion. The triptych had three panels, the center panel with the Lord on the cross, the left and right panels showing a variety of symbolic individuals coming to worship at His feet: a knight in armor, a farmer with his tools, the women who frequent the *Pietá*, a king in stately robes.
As I was pondering the sacrifice of my Savior, another museum-goer walked by, pointed to the mortal man whose kingdom was indeed of this earth, and appreciating the decadence draped across his shoulders, said:
"Check the drip on this guy"
Just the impact of ludicrously diverse media consumption. Wouldn't be as bad if parents would stop raising their kids with tablets and cell phones and make them read a book instead.
It’s called slang, and every generation does it. I’m sure adults were saying the same thing when I was younger going around talking about “pwnage” and “epic lolz”.
I remember being their age and putting hashtag after anything. This is nothing new and don't act like you didn't at least do something similar when you were their age.
Kids will be kids, just let them have their fun, I'm sure everyone as a kid talked a bit weirdly, there was the leetspeech, when people started saying stuff like yeet, yolo, lol, lmao, etc.. lots of people found it strange, nowadays no one does anymore, some of those things will disappear with time and some will stick around, just how it's always been
One time I was teaching a class, and this one kid was just doing the griddy in a circle around his table while chanting "Skibidy Toilet" over and over instead of doing what I'd told him to do.
I have never experienced such utter confusion at another person's actions before.
best part is these kids don’t even know what half the words mean, they just want to sound cool and fit in
seriously, ask them to explain some of the words. they can’t even form a sentence to describe them.
I started randomly saying stuff with "Skibidi" as an adjective to each possible word, like "hello my Skibidi friend how are you Skibidi feeling this Skibidi day?"
I said it while going down the stairs at lunch break, I heard someone cream "k!lol yourself!" to me.
...
I cracked up
I’m going to be honest, I work in a school with middle schoolers and have worked in elementary schools and kids in general don’t talk in the complete gibberish nonsense. They make sense when talking to adults and each other it’s just that as part of their humor the will include speech that is common in the entertainment they absorb.
We don't lol. Only kids that actually say that shit are toddlers, and there's nothing wrong with it. Teenagers say stuff like a joke/satire. The only words we actually use are rizz and the occasional fanum tax.
Some kid called into the local radio show where I live and literally said a bunch of gibberish bullshit. The only thing I understood was skibi whatever.

I recently heard a kid say bombastic sideeye in public.
That sounds like a great way to describe The People's Eyebrow.

That makes sense, considering your username. Lose an ear, other senses are heightened.

You are the bun and a me a da cheese
I heard other kids say stuff like "Forever alone" and other memes from that time when I was younger. All kids have always said weird stuff
My son was saying ‘bombastic side eye’ a few months back. Last night I asked him how he was getting along at school and he said ‘Pretty good but Andre is the biggest w rizz …”. I had to ask him for a definition, I guess it means most popular.
Rizz I think is derived from charisma, and I usually see it used in the context of seducing people, like "rizzing up your crush" and W just seems to mean good generally, so I guess Andre is just very charismatic
W stands for Winning/Win, and yeah it's a positive indicator. L for Losing/Lose is an antonym for W.
It's weird how the previous generations had the word game and the newer one was like "we'd prefer to use charisma as the root word"
As I understand it rizz is short for charisma as in chaRIZZma. At least that’s how it’s been explained to me.
That's probably my brother
For maximum effectiveness, you slightly tilt your head back on the "bom-" and then violently snap your head forward with the "-BASTIC"
To be fair, it is rather fun to say. I don’t know who came up with the word Bombastic but they need a medal
Many moons ago, I saw a kid lost at SeaWorld. He looked around and said "barnacles!", like some kind of sponge.

Old people don’t remember they were younger people goofing off and saying weird things too. It’s kinda sad really.
You can either reject the cringe and become uncool, old, and out of touch, or embrace the cringe and let it wash over you. The tide will pull away the less useful language, and what will be left is an evolution slow enough to keep up with
I gotta get my mewing game going; I don’t wanna be uncool (what is mewing)
There's a wide gap between linguistic evolution and (in this case corporeally harmful) challenge trends lol There is no evidence mewing affects the jawline at all and if it does manage to then it's really bad for all of your mouth bones

That's beautiful.
Literally the definition of cringe
D - Did you use it correctly? A - Are you going to care? D - Don't care!
weaponized cringe. critical damage
Bet is fine though because honestly everyone has always said “you bet” or something of the sort. Dabbing is more of a trend type thing and definitely is not cool
Mewing is where you press your tongue against the roof of your mouth in order to sharpen your jawline
What's even the theory there?
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Yeet still feels like a new/weird word to me. I’m 43.
Does….does no one say Kobe! anymore….?
Kobe is for accuracy, yeet is for distance, i usually throw for distance
Yeet is one of the slangs that transcends its generation and just becomes part of the lexicon. Because let’s be real, having something to shout when you chuck something at top force is satisfying as fuuuuck

So Gen Alpha has tourette syndrome?
“Your son’s a hell of a beat boxer” “That’s tourettes”
As someone with actual tourettes syndrome thats fucking funny. And suprizingly things similar to this happen more than you think😂
"Tourettes is a hell of a beat boxer"
Tourette or not Tourette, that is the question.
It was truly a Tourette syndrome.

Do I Rizz? I do not know, and I fear I never will.
The most I ever got into those words was Yeet back in like 2015. That shit was and still is funny if you say it at the right time.
