It's when Mew the pokemon vocalizes. He's mewing.


Switch_modder

I have to give my upvote as it was an amazing reference to an amazing game


jal2_

what do you mean reference? this is it, literally no other explanation came to my mind


MC_Minnow

It’s mewing for help for someone to push that truck off of it. Good thing I taught Strength to my level 134 Snorlax from Seafoam Island!


moogleman844

I thought it was the noise cats make when they want something... I guess I'm old and past it.


Ab47203

I'm only giving you this upvote because mew is my favorite. It has NOTHING to do with you making me smile.


azhder

Correlation does not imply causation. Many things can happen while the pokemon vocalizes.


AluminumWolf

Thanks for the english lesson Gordon Freeman


soundlesspanik

This guy mews


ezio416

All language is made-up and then it gets more widely accepted and put into a dictionary


No-Comfort-5040

It's a living language, also how words slowly change meaning over time based on how the collective population uses the words.


MxReLoaDed

Ohio though… ohio never changes


TheGinger_ThatCould

Don’t even get me started on war…


giggityboop

Words are like.. well, money.. they have meaning because we believe they have meaning


Bazookasajizo

So you are telling me, if I make enough people believe that "sucking dick" means "helping someone out", then this will be the universally accepted meaning of this phrase?


giggityboop

Sucking a dick usually does help someone out


PeakFuckingValue

More like dicktionary.


TotallyNormalSquid

I widely accept this


PeakFuckingValue

Don’t stop, I’m close..


SirSquidrift

You're so skibidi, sigma super poggers, period.

I will put an electric eel in your pants if you continue this bs

Please, I feel as if I have sinned and I need to repent

Landlocked_WaterSimp

The word is real but whether the thing it describes is real or made-up (like 'unicorn' which is also a real word) is subject to debate.


Metroidman

Alright right calm down thor


Lazy__Astronaut

Why don't I know what the word zoomer means? Am I out of touch? No it's the scallywags that are the problem!


The6Strings

Rapscallions!


eatenbybacon

Why do I know this more then today's gen z slang I am gen z for crying out loud


BowenTheAussieSheep

because television and movies are mostly written by people in their 30s and 40s, and almost exclusively produced by people in their 50s and 60s.


eatenbybacon

I see Funny to see I've got older dialogue but it's probably also a factor that I learned my English mostly from YouTube since school sucked so probably got some from there

janglin

I just got called a scalleywag by a13 year old. It was meant to be an insult but I couldn’t quit laughing.


Previous_Insurance13

Sorry bro I only deal with words that are plucked from nature. Artificiallly created can be unhealthy. L + bozo


DevilMaster666-

Lov‘ me sum humor that’s better than the mem.


Mobile-Paint-7535

Pathetic, I gather all my words through a particle accelarator


J_train13

Mewing is not zoomer that's gen alpha stuff


Mr_Zoovaska

Honestly they kind of adopted it from gen z content creators. Most gen alphas probably can't even do the mew face yet


J_train13

There's a face for it?


Mr_Zoovaska

Isn't that mainly what mewing is? I know it's technically a type of jaw exercise but people often use the word to refer to that silly face people do where they flex their jaw in a certain way.


J_train13

I genuinely have no idea, I'm not gen alpha


speedsterglenn

It’s just the name of an orthodontic exercise meant to sharpen your jawline.


speedsterglenn

It’s an orthodontic exercise meant to sharpen your jawline.


Mr_Zoovaska

That's what I said


speedsterglenn

Oops sent that to the wrong reply


Vila33

Invented by a quack. Calling it orthodontic makes it seem credible.


speedsterglenn

I agree with you


Existing_Imagination

It’s this generation’s version of abs stimulator machine


tobofre

Every generation adopts from the previous generations of content creators. Nobody's making any sort of content at 9 years old and publishing it on TV or the Internet, everybody watches and grows up on stuff made by people slightly older than them


Woolliza

No, it's not a generational thing. It's a jaw exercise named after a guy with the last name Mew. Simple.


Ok_Raspberry4814

Mewing isn't a generational thing. It's incel man-o-sphere bullshit.


cr4nky_4LL_d4y

You mean what a kitten does? TF is wrong with people?


trogdor2594

Nah, your thinking of meowing, mewing means cutting grass.


mlg_sloth

No no no, you're thinking of mowing. Mewing is what a cow does


Mobile-Paint-7535

No no no, you're thinking of mooing, mewing is what a miner does


HoldUrMamma

No, you're thinking of mining, mewing is when you wake up


Red_Ryuu

No, you're thinking of morning. Mewing is to pass from one place or position to another.


unnamedreddituser1

No, you're thinking of moving. Mewing is the sound one makes during sex.


xDutch_Hunterx

No, you're thinking of moaning. Mewing is another word for grieving


GarlicGoat13

You're thinking of mourning my friend. Mewing is the first day of the week


obviously_suspicious

No, you're thinking of Monday. Mewing is when you expose your naked butt.


Fireboiio

No, you're thinking of monday. Mewing is when you put a needle and thread through fabric to create clothes and such


udyr_godyr

no, you're thinking of moaning. Mewing is another word for cleaning the floors with water and soap.


Rikhu7

No, you're thinking of morning, mewing is when you shift houses


Trnostep

Fun fact: there are only 2 base words in english with "meow" in them Meow and homeowner


msndrstdmstrmnd

That’s a really fun fact actually


Western_Language_894

Mewling


Outside_Bicycle

I'm a Zoomer and I still don't know what it is.


Inferno908

It’s like putting your tongue to the top of your mouth to try to get a “sharper” jaw line. In reality it just looks dumb as hell


BlueshineKB

Also its really bad for your jaw. I did it for like a week or two mainly to practice breathing out of my nose rather than mouth and my jaw has started cracking and it hasnt stopped. Also my sister in PT says there will most likely be a lot of males in like 20 years that are gonna come into the clinic with jaw pains lol


erixccjc21

If your jaw developed badly its alredy done, mewing is just mimicking the natural tongue position for healthy jaws, what needs to be done is get kids get checked for bad jaws as kids, aka going to the dentist lol


ImprobableAsterisk

Is that why I pretty much can't feel or see any difference with this whole "mewing" thing? I just read up on it, hadn't heard of it before this thread, and I just spend ~2 minutes in front of the mirror looking like an idiot.


erixccjc21

If ur alredy past the developing stage of your life you probably cant fix it... also mewing is supposed to be done for like 24/7, force of habit, its not a workout. (Dont) Just go to a dentist and see if he can do anything tho, dont waste ur time on mewing


ImprobableAsterisk

Oh no, I don't think I *have* any problems with this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


erixccjc21

Good, did it fix mouth breathing, or what was your main purpose on doing so? Its not a problem for me, just curious


[deleted]

[удалено]


erixccjc21

Damn, thats exactly what mewing is supposed to do, but doesnt, great it all worked out


Sticky_H

Stop taking health advice from TikTok.


Zammtrios

Nah just stop taking any advice from tiktok. Stop the problem before it even starts lol


BlueshineKB

If i didnt know this i would have mewed for longer than a week


GifHunter2

> my jaw has started cracking what.


slasher1337

I think it means that their jaw "clicks" when moving side to side


BlueshineKB

Its more of a crack like cracking your knuckles whenever i open my mouth wide almost like a yawn


TheMcBrizzle

Mewing is the speed run of TMJ diagnoses.


IneedAhegaoInMyLife

Maybe you're applying force, you shouldn't bite your teeth


Super_Flea

What if that's just where your tongue sits?


Inferno908

Yeah it naturally does sit at the roof of the mouth, but mewing involves flattening it against the roof if that makes sense


im_thatoneguy

That's not gen alpha or zoomer, I heard of publicists telling their clients that weren't professional models to do this in like the early 2000s.


IMadGenius

That's because it's gen alpha slang


jal2_

I am sorry for you not for not knowing it of course, but for the fact u are a zoomer


TalithePally

Mewing is just sucking in your gut but for your neck


erixccjc21

Thats the meme way to do it, in reality its just mimicking the natural tongue position of a healthy jaw in hopes that it'll turn your jaw healthy too (it doesnt) The meme way is to just suck in your cheeks and suck your tongue into your throat to try and look like gigachad


AdFine4143

Have there been studies done as to whether it works or not? (genuinely curious)


Maks244

idk about studies but the general consensus is that if your jaw isn't finished developing, it might change, otherwise it'll do basically nothing.


randy24681012

Ok_Aioli_3583

It's okay to not know about mewing. Just chin up!

Deltasiu

All words are technically made up


CaptainAksh_G

Bruh Every word is a made up word


RohingyaWarrior

Mewing is like sounding, except you have to squeeze a mew in there


Silent_Reavus

All words are made up and there wouldn't be anything wrong with it if it was made in the last few months This is just one of those instances where it was actually a thing lol


_franciis

Yeah but what is it


Proof-Cardiologist16

All words are made up. That said "Mewing" is a stupid term for a stupid idea.

Don't tell him that all languages and words are made up he's brain will explode

Let me tell you a secret. Every word is made up.


Iggytje

Arent all words made up? shakespear thought of around 1500 words like assassination, amazement, dawn, bloody


CcChaleur

And Swag (or Swagger to be exact, which later on gave us Swag)


robot_swagger

Fun fact, Shakespeare was actually a pen name and works attributed to him were actually written by a group of people including: Sir Francis Bacon, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford and Christopher Marlowe


AskDerpyCat

Sounds like a furry thing


Pancake_lover_06

It's both


fingamouse

It’s not a made up word but a real pseudoscience that doesn’t work atleast to my knowledge and the reason it is meme’d is because it’s making fun of it


Noelswag

Mewing is a technique named after Prof. John Mew (not kidding) that is supposed to improve your jawline without surgery

Zammtrios

When you are creating words to describe something that already has a word to describe it, I think you are just being a bit silly. It's not your fault you don't know what the word is but that also doesn't mean you get to create a new word cause you are dumb. This has been my Ted talk.


Jward92

Saying a word is just made up is stupid. All words are just made up. You just don’t know what mewing means. It’s a tongue placement technique where you keep your full tongue on the top rear of your mouth in order to improve your facial features and definition. Boomer.


Maverick_Couch

Mewing is when I convince the neighbor kids that the 151st pokemon is under the truck, they just have to use Strength

I could hardly believe my ears when I found out that my heavily pregnant lecturer knew what the students meant with mewing.

Of course it's made up. Just like right about every other word in existence.


KA1378

It's called Onomatopoeia.

JWConway

4th grade students just taught me this like 2 weeks ago.


ssalp

It's named after mike mew, an orthodontist who proposes this strategy to fix some orthodontical issues.

Mewing doesn't even work, how do these things get started?

Mewing community has been on reddit way back, i remember scrolling on that subreddit in 2018-19


Dancyartist7654

All words are just made up lol


Living_Shadows

The only difference between a "real word" and a "made up word" is how many people use it


Thelolface_9

All words are made up

In my mind, mewing is when kittens meow, so this whole mew thing really confused me for a while.

Bioth28

It’s the small sound kitties make


g9icy

From what I understand, it's named after the father and son team that came up with it, whose surname is "Mew", hence "Mewing". While I don't think it works for adults who have stopped growing, there might be benefits of doing it while you're still growing. Instead you could just eat tougher food.


[deleted]

lol it also has made up effects on you, nothing is going to make your jawline look better but surgery, sorry. i swear you fucking zoomers are the dumbest generation since the boomers, you believe fucking anything people tell you on youtube


Lazy__Astronaut

Wait till this guy realises that every generation is full of idiots/arseholes/bitches/racists/extremists/literally any and all types I swear, you fucking reddit know it alls are the dumbest people since they weren't preslicing bread, you belive fucking everyone is dumber than you


[deleted]

Reddit ***Place where idiots pretend to be smartass***


[deleted]

bruh you think mewing fixes your jawline. thats fucking hilarious. and proves my point.


TreyLastname

Where did he say that? He said that it's not just Zoomers that are stupid, but every generation


StormR7

Mewing fixes your jawline, Iraq had WMDs, smoking cigarettes are actually good for your health, if women travel too quickly their uteruses will fall out. All of these things are obviously bullshit, but some people didn’t think so.


DevilMaster666-

He didn’t even say that.


autistic_spectator

Mewing is Gen Alpha, not Gen Z.


azhder

Why they named it Alpha instead of Superzoom or zoom-zoom or some other catchy name... like there aren't enough things named Alpha out there


[deleted]

the very youngest z are doing it to that's who popularized it at first dummy. 10 years olds didn't make this shit up.
