Is the slang nowadays corny or am I just getting old?

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Dont forget about the "it's the [insert random subject] for me".

Brah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The thing is shyt like that would have been exclusive shyt only Black women and gay dudes would say!

But now, grown ass men say that shyt!

"It's the, _________, for me man!"

No cap, this thread is giving whole , on Gawd brehs.

OMM and ong funny to me

Same with twin

Or “he just like me fr”

Bussin is used too much

And “gas” is only good when southern nikkas say it

I have a couple of questions for anyone...

If this site made up a slang word and used it frequently, how long would it take for said word to hit mainstream?

Also, how would the slang word reach mainstream?

the way they use rizz is corny
"down bad" is over used to where it lost all meaning

It's giving cringe now that I've noticed commercials (with white male voiceover) are using slang.

Watched a commercial for a cold/ allergy med with tagline (paraphrasing) "The only drip you need to worry about is what you wear on the slopes."

Bussin

This.

Slang has always been hit or miss for every generation. My only real gripe is that White people just adopt their own meanings.
Cacs calling dudes “simps” for less than smiling at a chick.

prime example is them turning fukk nikka to fukk boy/boi

Slang should’ve stayed regional and secret. It defeats the purpose when everyone knows the code.

it’s may seem corny because it’s main stream now.

Like back in the day, you knew something was played out when it got to white folks/mainstream, or random not in the know ppl was saying/doing it (teachers, parents etc)

Now it’s proliferating at the same rate, there’s no lag between cultures because they have been somewhat homogenized

shyt gets run into the ground way faster because of it.

This.

I have no doubt in my mind that your parents thought the slang y'all had coming up was corny so this is just the cycle of life in effect

 

[Robo Squirrel]

I still think grown-ass men should not be saying That's CAP.

 

[Robo Squirrel]

Slang is supposed to be in small circles. The people who use it have exclusivity. It takes time for it to be overexposed

Social media eliminates that timeframe and eliminates that exclusivity. So you find out about slang the same time as white teenagers Instantly kills it

Great point.

 

[Gritsngravy]

Isn’t most slang still somewhat regional

Ima bout to start incorporating old slang into my vocabulary, going to start talking like old blaxploitation films

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

Cap aint new at all, its old as fukk and means the same thing now as it did then, YOU GOOD

How old?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

shyt so corny now cause cacs get to using it in a way shorter period than it use to be cause of social media!

So now nikkas sound corny like cacs using it!

Also shyt is soo try hard now

And nikkas use to shut down mafukkas when they tried to start some new slang that was Extra-corny. Now mafukkas will come out with the stupidest shyt and it fly.



****The goofiest shyt is when mafukkas will take any word to use it behind the word as an "ing" verb!

"The coffee is really coffee'ing right now"

Wack ass shyt like that



Grown ass men be sounding like teen girls talking.

I wonder if that is from "I get computers puting" line from Cam?
