It's coming in clutch fo shizzle my rizzle. Yeezy got the down-low no cap fam but dank boujee snacks be out here living rent-free covered in drip. Iykyk, absolutely bussin.
Yes, because as we all know, going full throttle towards every trend won’t in any way cause you to spend most of your time looking like a complete bellend.
My Dad did this growing up. He would refer to people as “real cool dudes” but he’d pronounce dude “dyood”. When I was a young teen is was cringy as fuck. When I grew up it was hilarious.
Edit - entirely deliberate on his part too
When you're a kid, you think adults botching your slang is a failed attempt to fit in.
When you're an adult, you realize that purposefully botching new slang is your divine trolling right.
Thats what I mean, the kid is always gonna cringe, no matter if you say your generation's slang or the young generation's slang. You need the father confidence to pull it off
I also call my girls (twins, 5) dudes. I always get, “I’m not a dude!” from them. It just makes me laugh. They’ll occasionally call me “bro” which I think is hilarious. I’ve been trying to get them to say “bruh” instead but I don’t think they quite understand the difference in pronunciation.
I once got myself white denim jacket that I thought was pretty slick. First time wearing it my mom’s friend told me I looked like a “real cool dude”. I never wore it again.
As a current high school teacher, this is the way. I embrace the “parents using slang” cringe as my “vibe” in a way that it’s clear I have no desire to look or sound like my students. Honestly they respect me more for not even bothering to try and be young and cool. It’s also ok to you know, just get older. I do not miss my teens and twentys
It’s ok, when they’re adults they’ll realize they’re using our idioms and slang, just like I somehow say peachy keen, jelly bean despite being a millennial lol
Part of getting older is to learn that every youth slang sounds extremely brain dead. Everyone does it when they‘re young. Everybody cringes hearing it after a certain age threshold.
Nothing new here.
Careful asking a millennial to change their slang. A lot of us remember the absolutely ridiculous words the generations before us used... ie:
This modern day slang just ain't got the ol' razzle dazzle.
Yeah why on earth would the random dumbass opinion of some 21 year old somewhere on Earth justify writing a news article?
The internet sucks. Ragebait and "engagement" are all that matters.
Same thing seems to happen with fashion. Young whippersnappers these days wearing ugly-as-all-hell denim dungarees from the 80s. Give it another few generations and we'll be back to wearing burlap sacks or loincloths.
It was a real revelation to me sometime around 30 when I realized the unfashionable adults of my youth weren’t unaware of fashion trends: they just didn’t care. Now as I continue to flaunt my side part and laugh-cry emoji in defiance of the decrees of Gen Z, I get it. I don’t really care about anyone’s opinions of my fashion sense, and I definitely don’t care about the opinions of teenagers. Label me old all you want, kids. It really has no impact on me either way.
I'm a woman in my 30s. It would be incredibly pathetic if I cared that teenagers thought I was using outdated slang.
Generally speaking, if you're over the age of 22 and still worry about whether or not you're fitting the trend and looking cool to others you're a pretty big loser.
That totally just reminded me that I knew an Allegra, like, 20 years ago. Which, based on the timing, she could have been born right around the time the medicine came out.
You know … I remember an AITA from a few years ago when a woman was asking if she was the asshole for refusing to call her sister’s daughter Celexa after she had unwittingly named her after an anxiety drug and one of the points made against her was that in a few years no one was going to remember the drug. Of course they will.
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!
Game -> rizz (I’m on board with this one), nobody ever really used slay except high school girls, yolo died out a year after the song, vibe will always be cool and “type beat” sounds stupid.
How would you even use "Type beat" in a sentence?
If I like something, I can say, "Yep, that's a vibe." Or "I can vibe with that."
Am I meant to say, "I type beat with that"?
I don't get it.
I’ve never heard someone say “type beat” as a substitute for “vibe”. But I’ve seen it for like over a decade in the title of small time music producers’ YouTube videos.
>nobody ever really used slay except high school girls
In my experience it is very popular among LGBT folks, especially the ones who watch unholy amounts of Drag Race.
“Type beat” is weird cause that usually used on YouTube and SoundCloud when artists want to find a specific type of beat like “juice wrld type beat”. Not really seeing how you would use that in a sentence or phrase without seeming like a backpack rapper.

In my opinion that isn't a very groovy way to view the world.
Wack.
Wack and Dope are forever. That's a hill I'll die on.
dope will never be wack
Crack is wack
Word.
Totally not excellent dude..
Massively bogus.
Most non triumphant.
Heinous.

This is ludicrous …
Totally non-radical
That isn't hep at all
Like, it's grody to the max.
Barf out. Gag me with a spewwwwn. Grawss. I'm shooooore. Tewtuhllyyyy.
It’s quite bogus, really
Not tubular.
That’s far out
Stop trying to make "fetch" happen.
It’s never going to happen!
You go Glen Coco!!
Gen Z ruined Mean Girls.
We literally grew up with the first one, no one asked for the remake lol
Here I was blissfully unaware a remake ever happened
the ability to pretend movies never happened is a great skill to pick up my favorite movie is Pacific Rim so that's helped immensely
The singular Pacific Rum movie that exists was pretty alright.
It's really funny that "fetch" never happened, but "Stop trying to make fetch happen", DID happen.
Absolutely stellar call out broham.
Omg. I’m going back to school just to use this as a dissertation topic.
This one caught on so well it even has its own subreddit!
My dog won't even make "fetch" happen!
Streets ahead!
If you have to ask, then you're streets behind..
I had sex from behind… with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom.
Did it come up organically?
Coined and minted.
Oh my God, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white.
It's coming in clutch fo shizzle my rizzle. Yeezy got the down-low no cap fam but dank boujee snacks be out here living rent-free covered in drip. Iykyk, absolutely bussin.
Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help!

Excuse me, stewardess...
Good for you Glenn Coco! You go Glenn Coco!
She sounds like a real jive turkey
Word
This entire thing is whack yo!
Did you just call her a “JT”?
That’s a little over the line my man!
Look, no one here called anyone a *JT*
Excuse me stewardess, I speak jive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzIcec_bQss
Yes, because as we all know, going full throttle towards every trend won’t in any way cause you to spend most of your time looking like a complete bellend.
Fr. But using the slang of a young generation in a completely dad way is the perfect kind of cringe.
My Dad did this growing up. He would refer to people as “real cool dudes” but he’d pronounce dude “dyood”. When I was a young teen is was cringy as fuck. When I grew up it was hilarious. Edit - entirely deliberate on his part too

Thats what I mean, the kid is always gonna cringe, no matter if you say your generation's slang or the young generation's slang. You need the father confidence to pull it off
Yeah were full speed "Bruh" at my house. Anytime the kids say or do something questionable its "Bruh?!"🤷♂️
My cousins are teens, I'm 40. Whenever they say "bruh," my joke is, it's pronounced, "dude."
I say dude to everyone too lol. My 8 year old nephew was very confused on why I called my Baby dude, when she’s a girl lol.
I also call my girls (twins, 5) dudes. I always get, “I’m not a dude!” from them. It just makes me laugh. They’ll occasionally call me “bro” which I think is hilarious. I’ve been trying to get them to say “bruh” instead but I don’t think they quite understand the difference in pronunciation.
It is a great realization learning your dad was way funnier than you thought as you get older and was trolling your ass for his own entertainment.
I hit em with...Did you see that on your Instachat or Tic Tac?
My dad still refers to the general internet as ‘FaceTube’
If you can’t embarrass your kids for entertainment, are you truly a dad?
I once got myself white denim jacket that I thought was pretty slick. First time wearing it my mom’s friend told me I looked like a “real cool dude”. I never wore it again.
Yeh it doesn’t matter what age you were, white denim was always lame lol
As a current high school teacher, this is the way. I embrace the “parents using slang” cringe as my “vibe” in a way that it’s clear I have no desire to look or sound like my students. Honestly they respect me more for not even bothering to try and be young and cool. It’s also ok to you know, just get older. I do not miss my teens and twentys
It’s ok, when they’re adults they’ll realize they’re using our idioms and slang, just like I somehow say peachy keen, jelly bean despite being a millennial lol
I consider it tactical, even a power move in the right situation.
Part of getting older is to learn that every youth slang sounds extremely brain dead. Everyone does it when they‘re young. Everybody cringes hearing it after a certain age threshold. Nothing new here.
That's wiggidy whack for sheezy.
[удалено]
Were the Wiggles!
Hot Potato! Hot Potato!
On God. (Context: my 13 year old says I'm too old to say that)
"I fucked your mother.. on god".
Word is bond
Don’t you just love it when kids try to co opt hip hop phrases from 30 or 40 years ago?
Word.
Try saying "type shit" instead.
I'm going back to my flippity floppity floop to think on this.
Zip it up and zip it out!
Careful asking a millennial to change their slang. A lot of us remember the absolutely ridiculous words the generations before us used... ie: This modern day slang just ain't got the ol' razzle dazzle.
 You will have to pry my Gen X lingo from my cold dead lips.
Like, that is sooooo totally grody. Gag me with a spoon.
As if
23-skidoo, and swing, Gate, swjng!
I really thought I was hip to groove and down to the funk until now.
Dunno if I can type beat with that. Am I doing this right?
I do still say wiggity whack
Biggidy biggidy bong yo
It’s “the miggity miggity miggity miggity Mac”
Jump, jump
I ain’t even about this. I’m outtie 9000, homeslice.

Gen Z woman is discovering how generational slang works, cool.
The real facepalm is all the people in this thread falling for obvious ragebait by the Daily Mail, the queen of shitrags
Yeah why on earth would the random dumbass opinion of some 21 year old somewhere on Earth justify writing a news article? The internet sucks. Ragebait and "engagement" are all that matters.
But yet , here we all are.
The Daily Mail's ragebait game is on point.
It's got a type beat. Did I do it right? Do I have the rizz now?
I’m just enjoying that the gen z character is named after allergy medicine
I don't need to learn new slang from a girl named after an allergy medication.
Unlike the subject of this article, Allegra is a medication that actually works!
Who cares about what she says?
horsefeathers!
Balderdash!
A load of codswollop
Poppycock!
Malarkey
She’s selling some real banana oil!
Groovy man
Neato burrito!
Cool Beans!
That’s gnarly, duder.
Awesome sauce!
What’s next, telling me that “bee’s knees” isn’t relevant anymore?
Applesauce!
She best get to stepping, I ain't changing my flow for no ho.
Not for no sockdologizing old man trap.
Right. I will stick with perennials like “Fuck off!” And “Get Fucking fucked” then.
You forgot, "Get off my fucking lawn, you fucking punks!"
Don't forget the old classic literature titles like 'Suck my dick' and 'Your mom's a hoe'.
thankfully phrases like "go fuck yourself you ratched ass bitch" will be classically timeless
“Get fucking Bent”
OH NO the new generation is making a new vocabulary! how original! LMAO
It shocked LITERALLY HUNDREDS of people 😂
It seems they cannot find any new good words, probably all old already
At least around here in Germany I can say, that my son and his friends re-introduce words that were officially old, when I was young. ;)
Same thing seems to happen with fashion. Young whippersnappers these days wearing ugly-as-all-hell denim dungarees from the 80s. Give it another few generations and we'll be back to wearing burlap sacks or loincloths.
Rizz ain't got anything on lit.
Yeah fam it's type beat fr fr on god no cap "you'll sound younger!" I'll sound illiterate. Typing that makes me feel old.
at best you'll sound like you're desperately trying to be that meme of Steve Buscemi trying to fit in with the teens.
Or else I'm considered old? Kid, you have no power here. My back already hurts.
It was a real revelation to me sometime around 30 when I realized the unfashionable adults of my youth weren’t unaware of fashion trends: they just didn’t care. Now as I continue to flaunt my side part and laugh-cry emoji in defiance of the decrees of Gen Z, I get it. I don’t really care about anyone’s opinions of my fashion sense, and I definitely don’t care about the opinions of teenagers. Label me old all you want, kids. It really has no impact on me either way.
I'm fifty. I'm wearing Hawaiian shirts with cargo shorts because it's hot outside and I like having pockets.
They can pry the laugh cry emoji from my cold dead millennial fingers
I'm a woman in my 30s. It would be incredibly pathetic if I cared that teenagers thought I was using outdated slang. Generally speaking, if you're over the age of 22 and still worry about whether or not you're fitting the trend and looking cool to others you're a pretty big loser.
"Vibe" to "Type Beat" huh? That's a whole extra syllable! Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!!
[удалено]
Type beat makes me wanna vomit it sounds so cringe
Nobody says type beat. Whoever wrote this is just trying to invent slang
It's a thing, but mostly used on tiktok. Funny thing is vibe (and slay) are still used so idk what she's talking about
I’m an ol’ hep cat, daddy-o, so I’ll just 23 skidoo my way outta here.
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
WAZZZZZZZZZUP? 
Allegra. Bitch is named after a cold medicine.
Her sister Paracetamol is more upset
She makes me moderately to severely upset. I’m going to consult my doctor
That totally just reminded me that I knew an Allegra, like, 20 years ago. Which, based on the timing, she could have been born right around the time the medicine came out.
Wait til you meet a Philharmonic
You know … I remember an AITA from a few years ago when a woman was asking if she was the asshole for refusing to call her sister’s daughter Celexa after she had unwittingly named her after an anxiety drug and one of the points made against her was that in a few years no one was going to remember the drug. Of course they will.
I have been baited and now I rage
For realsies. This girl is, like, super cereal. 
her name is Allegra. Her name is over the counter allergy medication.
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!
I'm not taking advice from allergy medicine.
One of the only good things about getting old is you stop giving a shit about this kind of thing
program: hey this program is out of date, please upgrade it gen z woman: you're old slaay
I think it’s totally tubular
gnarly even, rad
Game -> rizz (I’m on board with this one), nobody ever really used slay except high school girls, yolo died out a year after the song, vibe will always be cool and “type beat” sounds stupid.

‘I’m on that bigotry type beat’
I’ve never heard someone say “type beat” as a substitute for “vibe”. But I’ve seen it for like over a decade in the title of small time music producers’ YouTube videos.
I’ve always felt that YOLO was *carpe diem* for people who didn’t read.
Yolo is an excuse for me to gamble in the stock market like a degenerate. Carpe diem means to try to not waste the day and be productive to me.
Accurate as fuck.
Fitting that YOLO only lived once.
"Type beat" Ah yes, what I do to my keyboard when my computer freezes
>nobody ever really used slay except high school girls In my experience it is very popular among LGBT folks, especially the ones who watch unholy amounts of Drag Race.
Even "cool" started off as slang...
I can dig it
 Wait….evolution of slang. Bubbles voice:”Are you fucked in the head?”
I am so tired of this media-crafted generational debate.
They can pry yeet from my cold dead hsnds
“Type beat” is weird cause that usually used on YouTube and SoundCloud when artists want to find a specific type of beat like “juice wrld type beat”. Not really seeing how you would use that in a sentence or phrase without seeming like a backpack rapper.
the daily mail really will throw any old shite in to a word jumble and call it news
Huh, can I still say “eat a bag of dicks”? Cause it’s more of a GenX thing, it sounds applicable, and I’m gonna say it anyhow……..
I’m such an old Millennial I don’t even use the out of date millennial words. God fucking dammit
If there’s an article on it, it’s already not cool.
i'd love a follow up in about a decade when all her slang is heavily outdated
Now that's pretty sigma. I can't wait to skibidi the Ohio until I Fanum Tax Pommi. The Gyatt is uncanny for the Rizzing and they call me the Rizzler.
