One of my favorite past times is teaching my dad internet slang. Today, we’ve got:

• yassified, and subsequently “yas”

• slay queen

• bussin’

• spill the tea

• no cap

if you got any more, PLEASEE add them, me and dad wanna scar my brother with his use of internet slang HAJAHDJ

alternatively, my dad also shared some old gen-x slang, like:

• “ew, gag me with a spoon,” and

• you go girl

i will keep you updated as I remember more

I introduced my mom and her sisters to the phrase serving cunt during a conversation about the word vagina and they’ve been really excited about figuring out how to use it. The memory of my aunt walking into the kitchen and announcing “I’m a Supercunt!” after fixing the shower curtain rings will be forever burned into my mind

If I were to time travel back to 2004, I think one of my biggest ongoing difficulties would be remembering to always speak in the formal register (which hasn't changed much in 20 years) lest I accidentally reveal myself as being not from around here now by slipping back into my casual register (which is full of 2024 colloquialisms and internet slang).

Imagine saying to someone in 2004, "My spoonie friend posted that YouTube clip of House's 'Life is Pain' rant on her Facebook and I was like, 'That slaps. Mood.'"

That's a perfectly understandable statement to almost anyone who might be reading this on Tumblr in 2024, but would sound like schizophrenic word salad to 2004 ears.

Even if I were able to keep up constantly speaking in the formal register despite how exhausting and unnatural it would feel, I'd still have communication difficulties. IRL I rarely speak to anyone in the formal register anymore, even at work -- my last couple of jobs were in very laid-back environments where everyone else was at least a decade younger than me -- and I've noticed recently that when I force myself to switch to the formal register, I always sound pissed off even when I'm not.

It finally clicked that the reason I've lost the ability to emote appropriately while speaking in the formal register is that for the past few years, there's been only one context in which I consistently speak in the formal register every single time: Leaving angry voicemails for US Senators.

It cracks me up that somewhere in the language part of my brain, I've apparently got a bit of code running that "Senators = teh oldz" and therefore I must address them using a register that feels frozen in time. Not only was this not a conscious decision, but it's also so hard-coded that I instinctively switch to the formal register even while drunk-dialing their constituent feedback lines at 3am.

(Pro tip: If you have never drunk-dialed your Senator at 3am, you're not Americaning hard enough. Get to it, kiddies.)

Thinking about time travel has made me realize just how much colloquial English has changed over the past 20 years and how it keeps getting weirder and weirder at an accelerating rate. Speaking in code to route around censorship algorithms. New slang spreading within days instead of years. Horrible new suffixes. An emerging fourth person pronoun. It's wild.

I lived through these changes. I was already a grown adult back in 2004. And even I would have to carefully mind my speech in order to blend in and be understood. Can you imagine what would happen if you sent an extremely online Zoomer back 20 years?

As a reminder or PSA for new fanfic readers this is what "Dead Dove: Do Not Eat." references:

When used in tags for fanfics it is as a trigger warning to: take the other tag(s) seriously/to take the tag(s) warnings at face value. It is a term meant to highlight the other trigger warnings in the tags. By itself it does not mean much, besides referencing this scene of Arrested Development, where someone ignores a very clearly stated warning and regrets their actions. I've seen a fair amount of newer gen of fanfic readers misinterpret it as an actual type of writing trope when it's not, and because of that people venting about its use in tags by fanfic authors are coming off as: "I dislike the author telling me what to do (that being to pay attention to the other tagged warnings for a fanfic)" or "I dislike the author trying to highlight or put up trigger warnings for their fic".

You ever hear an new slang term and just know you're never going to use it yourself? Like, I hear people complain about words like "doggo" because they sound dumb, but the one that I really dislike is "Karen."

I don't actually have a significant person in my life with the name, but every Karen I have ever met has been a wonderfully pleasant person and it bothers me that it's become a word used to refer to abrasive middle aged white women.

It's genuinely a lovely name and I will never forgive those who have been smearing it.

Sometimes you have no choice: something pops into your head and you are compelled to share it with others. Sorry.

korean slang [part 1]

문찐 - culture loser, someone who is not interested in or does not know much about pop culture, new trends.

short for 문화찐따 = 문화(culture) + 찐따 (loser).

사진빨 - being very photogenic.

from 사진발, from 사진 (寫眞, photo) + 발 (lines, streaks).

엔조이 - enjoyment, casual romantic relationship.

네덕 - selfish, immature, and conceited fan or poster.

short for 네이버 ("Naver", main South Korean search engine and platform) + 덕후 (otaku, fan), originally because such people were most common on Naver's general blogs, rather than on more specialized platforms.

수포자 - someone who has given up on studying math (in school).

contraction of 수학 포기자.

솔크 - Christmas without a romantic partner.

of 솔로 solo + Christmas. Christmas is considered a romantic holiday in South Korea.

읽씹 - leaving a text or message on read, and not reply.

안읽씹 - intentionally leaving a text or message on unread.

ㄴㅇㅎ - being incomprehensible.

마자마자 - truetrue, yesyes.

호구 - an overly naive and submissive person; pushover.

sino-korean word from 虎口, from 虎 (“tiger”) + 口 (“mouth”). The "pushover" sense derives from the game of Go sense, implying someone who would be submissive enough to be willing to place their stone in such a position.

현자타임/현타 - (vulgar) post-nut clarity or (non-vulgar) a moment when one realizes that what one is doing is actually pointless, reality check.

현자(賢者) +‎ 타임, calque of Japanese 賢者タイム (“post-nut clarity”).

a non-vulgar reanalysis of the above as an abbreviation of 현실(現實) 자각(自覺) 타임 (“reality perception moment”). the new interpretation retains a metaphoric extension of the original meaning, but in a non-sexual way. many Koreans are not aware of the original etymology, and the word has appeared in TV programs for general audiences.

스포당하다 - to accidentally read spoilers (of a film, video game).

눈팅 - only read articles or posts without leaving any comment; lurking.

Does anyone know the origin of the term "boingyboof"?

I know it was used by vinesauce joel (and others maybe?) but is that the actual coining of the word?

It's interesting how the Internet has changed slang. Like u can still tell where a person lives (or where their friends are) from slang, but now you can also tell what websites or fandoms they frequent :000

Like if I hear "horse plinko", "blorbos" or "superhell"??? Hellsite local

"sewer slide" and "seggs"??? Poor, poor TikTok soul who's internalized self-censorship. Rip

"POGGERS"?? "Chat"??? Twitch. Twitch boy. Twitch person twitch BESTIE

And then there's millions of fandom references that make you go "OH YOU HAVE THE SAME BRAINROT AS ME!!!" Like if I hear someone out here like "oh it needs to be 20% cooler" or, perhaps even "REMEMBER PANTS? YOU USED TO LOVE PANTS" Then I know. I know their secrets. I know what you are.
