You think general zoomer slang is bad, wait until you get into sports zoomer slangs. I've recently learned that "burger" means points in sports specifically for basketball and football.

Just wait until you find out that it's actually millennial slang. Blow your head right off.

tf is this racist boomer bullshit
were you home schooled or something
I worked with a shitload of white Zoomers who would talk in "Zoomer slang" amongst each other yet when someone of color was close by, whether it was an employee of customer, they would completely drop it. There were even a few instances of a few of them accidentally letting a certain word slip out. The worst example of that was with someone who was ironically the most socially progressive people I've ever worked with.

This just showed me that it's not just a matter of slang evolving, but a lot of these people know exactly where their slang comes from and the fact that they're comfortable talking like that amongst themselves but not others really makes you think.

The only Zoomer slang that is cringe is Rizz. Sounds like something some frat guy came up with after ordering his Zza. Rizzler.

Gyatt is weird, but more just a mispronunciation/ shortening like denamug

Never once used pwnd. That was text/1337/game speak. That slang actually had the rule that you were never supposed to use it offline as that was cringe.

In your other post you specifically mentioned bruh, blud and dude. Are you trying to equate using these words as wanting to say the n word but not being able to??

Like come on now, saying the word dude or bruh does not mean youre racist what the hell

Cap is kinda fading and drip was/is being replaced by "fit", though I don't know if it succeeded yet.

I still don't know what "no cap" means, apparently. I thought it meant "no caps lock" or to be without a hat.
It means like shorthand for, "no joke" or "for real, no shit?".

This take is so close minded to me. The majority of the new slang is funny to me since it's without context/sounds so foreign, and I enjoy the linguistic evolution of each generation. Some of them are fun to say too, you should try using no cap unironically. It's a hoot!
