Apropos of nothing, the term “doggy” or “doggo” is possibly going back to the roots of the word; the Middle English word “dogge” kind of came out of nowhere and it’s hypothesized that it might have been a diminutive slang word (like “doggy” or “bunny”) that ended up becoming the standard term for the animal, supplanting “hound”.
Unrelated but I think it’s funny when people pronounce doge like doje instead of doggy.
It literally never occurred to me to pronounce it as “doggy.”
Best to forget about the past, and move forward into the future, or you will be left behind.
Best to focus on the important things, like your character.
Thanks for the wisdom, WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today
That’s a gonk thing to say.
There’s a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn’t humor, it’s recall.
Totally recall…
And after millennials pass, old folk’s homes will be filled with people shouting “SIX SEVEN” over and over

I still don’t know what mogging (sp?) is and I’m not sure I want to …
I’m pretty sure I do, and I’m almost certain I don’t want to 🤷🏻
No you don’t, or you would be totally certain? 🤔
You’d think so, wouldn’t you?
yo what does this mean
you don’t want to know, oh the horror
Le funny maymay.
“This adulting thing is hard. I guess I’ll die.”
My least favorite phase is “adulting”.
When I hear it, I want to respond with, you mean taking care of shit on your own? Because you’re not living at home?
Early 20’s it’s cringey. When someone is pushing 35, I want to vomit on them.
seethe more
I usually just say “I feel like the people who are good at adulting don’t use the term ‘adulting’” and get a “yeah, that sounds about right” in return.
When someone is pushing 35, I want to vomit on them.
Out of context that’s quite a statement.
It’s a weird kink, but I’ll own it.
I think there’s a brief window of time that it fits, like college-age when young people are learning how to do a bunch of stuff for the first time.
After that, it just sounds like arrested development (as in “perpetual adolescence”, not the show).
It doesn’t seem to bother me as much as others in this thread. I just read it as being responsible or doing the daily shit you are supposed to do. Which is often annoying to do.
It almost sounds like something that could have come from Seinfeld, predating the term by almost a generation.

This is triggering me to start the series over again… It’s been years since the last rewatch.
I just blue myself.
“I don’t like it when people say ‘life is hard’ in ways that I disagree with. When I hear it I say ‘you mean exact synonyms that take longer to say?’”
There needs to be the geriatric equivalent, like “olding”
I use ungracefully aged for my wife and I
This tends to be how I think of the generation that fell in love with words like “yeeted” and “gabbin”* and all those words that are completely unnecessary in lingual context, and just meant for style points or whatever.
* ach, it’s not exactly that, but something similar
no cap I’m gabbin all day fr fr
Chat is this skibidi rizz gyattmaxing?
Gyorkin spurfinwittlin jeah!
and all those words that are completely unnecessary in lingual context
I mean, some of the most beautiful prose I’ve ever read has “unnecessary” words
Different phenomenon though, far as I know.
What I’m thinking of are more like cool / pet words used to help establish the uniqueness of a younger generation, helping to draw a divide from those older than them. Which actually makes a certain amount of sense…
cool
Like that word. They’re isn’t anything temperature related in that sentence. It’s impressive how long “cool” keeps being used.
These words are important though. Without them you get in a 1984 world where some fool forces people to use double plus good.
There’s a reason “cool” has remained in use.
Kids have always been changing the lexicon, its kinda what they’re for.
THATS ALL THESE KIDS ARE GOOD FOR!
Aw c’mon, I kind of like yeeted, it’s better than chucked. But then I’m in my 60s so I’ve seen a lot of slang come and go.
I like some pop-slang, not others. “Neckbeard” is pretty good, because there wasn’t quite a word like that, and it really does capture a certain type. Meanwhile, “yeet” doesn’t mean anything to me, and wasn’t needed in the slightest IMO.
Languages naturally change over time, but usually that’s down to stuff like peoples mixing, and new situations & tech coming along, or dying out. This pop-slang stuff is okay for what it is, but I also feel the OC captured the other side of how useless it can be.
‘Tis better to yeet than be yoted. – proverb of some dubious kind
All that and a bag of chips.
5/7 perfect score.
Oh lol. Never realised how 5/7 is so close to 67.
5/7 with rice!
Right? Much better to get your skibidi rizz on than have your cortisol spiked by 67 mogged millennials.
I’d argue its a different kind of “bad” humor, with the aging millennial style being cringey and painful to hear vs just plain stupid

Don’t worry, the smol puppers and doggo frens don’t care, and theirs is the only opinion that matters.

Maybe the elders who are “far gone” these days are just using ancient meme language that nobody understands anymore.
Wow. Such True. Many Funny.
ERMAGERD
ZOMG
Cool beans, roflcopter.
We did successfully revive “23 skidoo!” and “bee’s knees” during the third wave ska and swing band craze, so it’ll be interesting to see what eventually works it’s way into youth’s slang lexicon.
My roflcopter goes soi soi soi.
