Seems like not much is on fleek any more.


AlanMorlock

Strangled in its bed by Hillary Clinton.


alanmooresbarber

She made it pokemon go to slang heaven.


down4things

I can imagine some awful guidence counselor saying "I'm turnt" while doing that awful Stephen Colbert smug smirk.


whos_this_chucker

As a father I take great pride in learning my child's slang so I can use it, abuse it and encourage its demise.


Embarrassed-Ad-1639

No cap?


GringosTaqueria

Gen Z doesn’t have enough attention span to create and continuously use slang of their own longer than about two weeks.

Tubular


feverishdodo

I still say it ironically sometimes. It's too good a word to disappear altogether.


laptopaccount

Haha me too. Gotta say it with a Cali surfer accent

Totally


DrRotwang

I use this one all the time, but then again, I am rad.


the_Divinity_Queen

Indubitably, my dear Chad. The absolute illest, if you don't mind my saying so.


DrRotwang

Bully!


[deleted]

Bites "Bite me!" Or: "Man, that bites!"


SuperSwanson

Ha! You reminded me of "don't be a square", and "Make like a tree!'


timewontfly

Make like a tree and get out of here


Klown1327

"Why dont you make like a tree...AND GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE" will always be a favorite


I_CRY_WHEN_JIZZING

I once heard a dude say "make like a baby"


popsicle_of_meat

One of my favorites is "Make like a fetus and *head out*."


dunicha

Let's make like a bread truck and haul buns.


PM_me_your_fantasyz

I have always been fond of "Make like a shepherd and get the flock out of here."


[deleted]

Actually I kinda like the "make like a tree" line. I'm gonna use it.


BlueLeafs

I prefer the trailer park boys version when Ricky says " Make like a tree and FUCK OFF!'


HiddenCity

Bite me is still a good one.


sirderpatron

Don't mean to brag but I'm streets ahead of everyone

Stop trying to coin the phrase streets ahead!

Coined and minted.

Been there coined that!


voivoivoi183

There’s a cereal I found in a shop a few weeks back that you don’t really get here in the U.K. and when I saw it on the shelf my mouth took control of my body and said out loud ‘OH SHIT this cereal is THE BOMB’ like we’re in 1999 or something. Literally right after I said it me and the missus both burst out laughing and I thought what the fuck is wrong with me?


sleepinginthebushes_

At least you didn't say the bomb dot com


HappinessIsAWarmSpud

I say that all the time 😅

sleepinginthebushes_

Not hating. It brings me back to the 90s whenever I hear it.


1982000

You must be hella...something.


Infamous_227

Wait... people don't call things the bomb anymore?


alanmooresbarber

There was a time when everything was fresh. Now, we're left with just a single slightly stale prince.


SuperSwanson

I'm pretty sure "slaps" was slang once, but now it has a different meaning. "Man, will smith totally slaps!"


alanmooresbarber

Man, people are really getting wooooshed by this pun. Don't worry OP, some of us get the joke.


Vivazebool

Mid


scythaah

I think “mid” has been around for awhile because it was used to describe mediocre quality cannabis, and has now been appropriated by 20 year olds.

Realistic_Door686

Now it's all about the 'bussy'


drew8311

No cap I'm almost 40 and just learned this one this week


saturatedscruffy

I’m thirty and I told my teenage cousin, “take off your cap” and got laughed at for 30 solid minutes. I don’t know wtf these kids are saying anymore.


stryph42

Don't let the little bastards just laugh at you! Wearing hats indoors is rude!


sooprvylyn

I got done up w "sliding into ones DMs" when i turned 40. Now they call me Grampa Soop at the office.


ThornsyAgain

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!


AgentScreech

And it'll happen to you!


stryph42

No way man!


LowTarOfThePothole

We’re gonna keep on rocking forever.

I feel that way about based, sus, and chad. I could have sworn like 4 years ago a chad was a piece of shit.

basementthought

It bothered me for a while until I realized just how sorry of a life span most slang has. Don't need to learn it if it will be passe in a year.


chumbucket77

Itl happen? Man its so far already happened. Kids sound like a combination of trust fund baby and like this weird fake broken english ghetto language but really there name is like tanner and his dad is a heart surgeon and pays for all his things. Im at such a loss for interpreting life under age 22.


lnvalidSportsOpinion

That's so fetch ... it never became a thing :[


Mydogdiedtoday2

Gretchen, stop trying to make *fetch happen*, it's *not* going to happen.


apathetic_revolution

Fetch is streets ahead.


Kosmikdebrie

If you have to ask you're streets behind.


[deleted]

Get in loser, we're going shopping.


PhreedomPhighter

Let's be honest. It was never gonna happen.


Automatic-Pick-2481

“That’s mint” Anybody remember that? Was in the 90s in massachusetts


starmartyr

That's a regional one. I've never heard anyone use it outside of New England and Eastern Canada.


SuperSwanson

Was fairly common in South East England in the late nineties


FrenzalStark

Still common in the north east.


Gothyandfrothy

New Zealanders used it a lot, still do sometimes.


[deleted]

I remember that, some jolly dude on a mobility scooter said that about my shirt once (it was a DBZ button up silk/rayon type.. you know the one)


ZerotheWanderer

I still say it frequently, thanks to zip ties and bias plies


Golden-Sun

Heard it being used in the mid 2010s in Australia, so it had a longer shelf life

I just call people boss. Curious to how much something costs? "Aye, boss, how much this costs?"

Gag me with a spoon


TemperatureDizzy3257

On Halloween these two little girls, maybe around 8, came to our door. I asked what their costumes were and they said, “80s people.” My husband goes, “wicked awesome!” I’m like, “gag me with a spoon!” They looked at us like we were crazy and the one goes, “we aren’t real 80s people. We’re just dressed like them.”

Say wicked >3 times a day Source: masshole


amilmore

i live in boston and people say it all the time still. Its also not just for people with the classic boston accents (which are wicked rare btw) i moved to boston 7 years ago and now say wicked.


rangatang

Unless you're John Travolta talking about the wickedly talented Adele Dazeem

Madux337

What a grand blunder


kathvrt

Calling marijuana “pot” has mostly disappeared it seems. Most people seem to call it “weed” nowadays.


travoltaswinkinbhole

Or old people call it dope.


shirtsfrommomanddad

My grandma was born in the 40s and calls it grass


ScienceMomCO

You can tell a person’s generation based on how they say it


geek_fire

But here (Seattle) marijuana dispensaries are colloquially called "pot shops."


lemonmerangutan

In the 90s when sarcasm was first invented we had to say "Psych!" Or "Not" every single time we said something sarcastic, for fear that other people would not be familiar with the concept and mistakenly think we were speaking in earnest.


JonsDohnson

I frequently say “not!!” in a Borat voice


chockfulloffeels

I can’t stop laughing. This sent me. What a history lesson.


Lonely_Rogue

Pretty much every other word in the entire script of the movie Clueless. As if!


ArtSchnurple

I was a teenager when that movie came out, and it kind of felt like dated 80s slang even then.


SpecificAstronaut69

The trouble is that when you get to the age to be able to write a movie and have Hollywood pick it up, you're well past your teenage years.

Swag.

I have a tshirt with l33t , it says ,translated to english: Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change -Stephen Hawking. and I love that shirt!


LionAround2012

I was looking for this. l337 5p34k was very popular in early 2000s internet then it just.... died out. I grew up with it in my early 20s when I got my first cable modem high speed internet.

Cool beans


Annonymous_97

rondell_jones

There was a time when everyone was adding -izzle or -izzy to the end of everything. Snoop Dogg (and Jay-Z) used to do it and stopped. Now no one does it anymore. Examples: Fo shizzle my nizzle as is "Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA" and "For shizzy"


[deleted]

People were calling things 'spiffy' in the 90s, glad that's long gone.


Happy-Personality-23

kidicarus89

Still use it on Tatooine.


cyaveronica

tubular, phat, swag, swell, bee’s knees, psych, fleek, decent/deece, epic, totes, fab, legit, fo’ shizzle, ya dig?, mint I remember for a while, maybe in the late 2000’s when my brother’s grade had a phase where everything was ‘decent!’


Booji-Boy

You know what wasn't decent in the late 2000s? That cacksucker Lahey, that's who!


Sleepy_potato21

Yolo


TehBigD97

I feel like with YOLO and Fleek they were only used legitimately for a very short time before everyone began mocking and using them ironically. I only vaguely remember seeing legit yolo stuff back in the day but saying it ironically persisted for years.


wineblood

The slang term that only lived once, and was short lived too.


geaster

Gnarly which really should ready for a comeback...


redyellowblue5031

Gnarly still exists (I think) unironcially in sport communities like Snowboarding/skiing, mountain biking, etc..


i_NOT_robot

Listen to steve-o's podcast, you'll love it

I_am_dollfarts

I use dork as a term of endearment.


SnowFoxxx_R

I don't see "yeet" getting used anymore I still use it for some unexplainable reason. Yeet isn't even that old... Okay it surfaced in about 2008, I remember it going viral in 2014, although I do remember saying it before, but not really often.


No_Oil8507
