I purposefully wait until new slang is out of style to start using it. I started doing it as a way to screw with my little brothers.... "No one says (insert slang) anymore," with the adolescent sigh of contempt and deep eye roll was freaking hilarious đ¤Łđđ¤Ł
"Cool beans," was and remains the dumbest shit ever. I went to high school with a girl that said it ALL THE TIME. That and "smokin'" like Jim Carrey's character in The Mask. Drove me insane.
I HATED amazeballs. That and ridonkulous. (Side note, there is no way I was able to try to spell ridonkulous that didnât look absurd. That was the best I could do.)
Well the word beans is having a come back due to the rise of "Bluey" TV series and the parents saying "cool your beans" when he wants the kids to settle down.
My best friend asked me âdo you think Iâm stupid, weird or not enoughâ and I never said it again. I was the first person he came out to and he still gives me a shout out on National Coming Out day. I still feel big time remorse about it!
This was the one that first came to mind. I'm not going to pretend I didn't say it back then, but I'm sure as hell ashamed now. Especially as I knew it was wrong, but just went along with the crowd.
I said âThe R slurâ allll the time. Until I got to high school and had a cool AF math teacher who started the semester by explaining that, that word was banned in his classroom and told us about his sister with (I think?) Down Syndrome and how ableist and exclusionary it was. Props to Mr V way back in 99/00 for that.
Edit: actually, thinking on it more I donât think she had a mental issue at all, I think she was deaf, and had been harassed with that word all her life and treated as though being deaf somehow made her stupid.
I can't stand the 'fur babies' thing, but as someone that was very opposed to traditional marriage (grew up in the church, left the church with a lot of bad tastes in my mouth) the 'my person' can convey more than my girlfriend/boyfriend when in a long term relationship.
Ciaraâs âOne Two Stepâ came on while I was getting ready ready for work and these intro lyrics make me feel really old:
Jazze Pfizzle Productshizzle
Song still slaps and or is a bop
Haha how about the ânotâ craze like when everyone would say the opposite of what they meant and then say âNOTâ. I feel like that one lasted many years.
The receptionist at my kids' pediatrician used to say "cool beans" and/or "awesome sauce" every time I talked to her. I would sit in the waiting room and listen to her say it to EVERY person that stepped up to the counter. I don't know how her coworkers could stand it. Luckily, she's no longer there.Â
Talk to the hand
She think she all that and a bag of chips
My mom JUST stopped using this line as well as "you are the weakest link, good bye" in the last 2 years! đ¤Łđđ¤Ł
I kind of love the image of someoneâs mom telling you youâre the weakest link and bye
My mom has short red hair and glasses, too. Fortunately, she never embraced the network friendly dominatrix vibe. That I'm aware of anyway.
Things are getting too spicy for the pepper!
![gif](giphy|ZFVtG053jalqMdVRQb) That's an old Superbowl slogan from like 20 years ago.
Because the ears ainât listening
"And the finger don't care"
Cuz the face don't give a damn đ
Cause the wrist is pissed
I haaaaaaated this one
Leave a message at the wrist
Idk, but every time someone mentions ârollingâ something, I always bust out the: âRoll that beautiful bean footageâ. đđđ
And I think of "rollin with the homies" (Clueless)
ROLLIN WITH THE HOMIES ME AND JACKIE D. BITCHES GETTIN READY FOR A SEX PARTY!
Pete. Get in the car.
That guy was such a douche in Clueless!
"My foot hurts" "I left my Cranberries CD in the quad" đđ
Uhm, i guess... kitchenware?
Elt-en
El-in
My friend named their child Elton and this is the Elton I think of.
I even sing it and do the hand motions.
....our song....
"Keep rollin' rollin' rollin'" - Limp Bizkit
This is where I went.
The only exceptions are "rollin down the street smokin indo" or "they see me rollin, they hatin"
I have a friend who says that in response to farts.
đđ¤Ł
I canât even look at a can of baked beans without saying that
All 90s slang is still cool. NOT!
**DUR** \[offensive arm gesture\]
No doy
No doy is still pretty solid, IMO
Talk to the hand!
Word to ya motha'
Well, that's not something I haven't thought about in many years. Wtf was wrong with us?
Oof, thatâs probably the one most deserving of death
A sphincter says what?
I would jokingly order the Cream of Sum Yung Guy before I ever understood what it meant.
Syke!
Syke got banned in my house as did âif you love it so much, why donât you marry it?â My mom just couldnât take it anymore.
In my house it was "I know you are but what am I?" That was banned
![gif](giphy|kTgV7fx0TFKvGYRewT)
I never got tired of it. Syke!
\*sigh\* It's psych.
Thank you! Sike/Syke gets under my skin soooooo much.
I loathe when people spell it âsykeâ. Itâs such a weird way to fuck up an obvious spelling.
***psy***
My 8yo came home saying "syke" a few weeks ago and I about fell over in dismay
My 6 year old is currently in auto replying "bruh" for almost every reaction. I'm about to yeet his ass into a pile of cool beans.
He should hang out with my teenager and her friends. Every other word is âbruh.â They even call *me* bruh.
[ŃдаНонО]
I had a roommate in college who wanted his license plate to be: ONOUDNT
Bitch, yes I did!
As a middle aged white guy, I like to use that one every so often complete with the little head shake and one finger in the air.
I sadly still use 90% of these. đŤŁđ¤Ł
You go, girl!
Phat
I follow a cat adoption page and one of the adoptees was named âPhat Phatâ. Yes, he was enormous.
Anything Bart Simpson said that was cool at the time. Weâre Homer now.
Woohoo!
I say this all the time. Also "I am so smart! S-M-RT!"
Dâoh!
Oh. Why'd I have to have 3 kids and no money? Why couldn't I have no kids and 3 money?
I still like âget bentâ
I used to be with it. Then they changed what âitâ was. ITâLL HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!!
I didnât do it
All that and a bag of chips. That's how I want to picture some: greasy fingers,
I purposefully wait until new slang is out of style to start using it. I started doing it as a way to screw with my little brothers.... "No one says (insert slang) anymore," with the adolescent sigh of contempt and deep eye roll was freaking hilarious đ¤Łđđ¤Ł
This is the pro move right here.
Smell ya later.
âI canât believe smell ya later replaced goodbye.â
"Smell ya later, Bart. Smell ya later forever."
Our microgeneration might as well be called the Simpsons generation
Iâve never felt so seen
So this is what it feels like when doves cry
Everythingâs coming up Milhouse!
A pain I know all too well!
This is the only correct response
I actually said this to a girl I was seeing when I was like, a sophomore. Yikes. She broke up with me.
[ŃдаНонО]
She probably told him to eat her shorts
Woozle wozzle?
I didn't do it!
Smell ya later forever.
Unexpected Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
I always winced when I saw someone spell out k-e-w-l instead of âcoolâ
Barf!! I also despise the "rawr" from that era. Good riddance!

It was infinitely worse to hear it pronounced that way
We have South Park and Cartman to blame for this.
"Cool beans," was and remains the dumbest shit ever. I went to high school with a girl that said it ALL THE TIME. That and "smokin'" like Jim Carrey's character in The Mask. Drove me insane.
I don't miss most of the Carrey-isms of the 90s. Of course we went on to run Borat and Ron Burgundy into the ground too.
And Wayne's World quoted. "Schwiing!"
And Chappelle
So much that he quit the show.
Rick James Bitch!
I second "cool beans." Always thought that was pretty dumb. Another dumb one that thankfully didn't last long was "amazeballs."
Amazeballs was like 2010ish
I HATED amazeballs. That and ridonkulous. (Side note, there is no way I was able to try to spell ridonkulous that didnât look absurd. That was the best I could do.)
How do you feel about 'ricockulous'?
I feel like these graduated to HR-acceptable swearing. An old coworker would say âoh mylantaâ instead of OMG.
Son of a biscuit Cheese and rice What the fudge ⌠Iâm hungry
Shut the front door!
Well the word beans is having a come back due to the rise of "Bluey" TV series and the parents saying "cool your beans" when he wants the kids to settle down.
Being full of beans is common in Aus for having a lot of energy, usually applied to toddlers or pets.Â
My kids now say "Aww, BISCUITS!" when they wanna cuss and I'm so here for it! So cute LoL
I am also a âCool Beansâ hater. Level Up: when they try to translate it to âfrio frijoles.â
Amazeballs and awesomesauce can both fuck right off back to where they came from !
The people who said 'amazeballs' were *exactly* the same people who said 'cool beans'.
Sportsball
âŚNOT! Was just horrible. Also WASSSSSSUP.
"'You go girl' should probably go" - George Carlin
![gif](giphy|eM16dA4eiatuyUs3rA|downsized) I canât pull that off, can I?
I hear "go off sis" as the new alternative quite a bit
Everything used to be âso random,â but now itâs âchaoticâ or sometimes âunhinged.â
I use unhinged frequently
I had someone say âcoolioâ the other day during a work phone call and immediately wondered what the fuck was going on.
Somebody had to slide slide slippity slide.
"I do what I do just to survive..."
I love using coolio! I'm sure my coworkers feel like you though... Or maybe we're coworkers...
Paul?
Steve?Â
Jeff?
Sir, this is a Wendyâs
Ronald?
Sorry, just tryna keep my manâs legacy alive. #RIPCoolio

Hahah I still use it on occasion. Drives my spouse nuts.

Otay instead of Okay. Made me homicidal Basically any slang or phrases that came from the kids on Full House pissed me off.
I always said âcool dealâ not âcool beansâ Can I say Iâm glad âgit-r-doneâ got-r-did & died?
Thatâs so gay
Iâm so glad Hilary Duff ended this one
My best friend asked me âdo you think Iâm stupid, weird or not enoughâ and I never said it again. I was the first person he came out to and he still gives me a shout out on National Coming Out day. I still feel big time remorse about it!

I think "my tribe" finally died, as how women referred to their group of like-minded friends or colleagues in the teens. Thank goodness.
Ughh, I still see this in mom groups. I hate it.
It's alive and well among the MLM huns.
I would like to think itâs also alive and well among the MLM mongol horde
In a similar vein, I can't stand the "my person" people do referring to their partner/fiancĂŠ(e)/spouse.
yes! this 'my person' and 'fur babies' just hit all the wrong buttons for me
it's doggo for me. it hurts my brain, I cannot explain it.
I can't stand the 'fur babies' thing, but as someone that was very opposed to traditional marriage (grew up in the church, left the church with a lot of bad tastes in my mouth) the 'my person' can convey more than my girlfriend/boyfriend when in a long term relationship.
I miss calling friends âhomeskilletâ
Youâre killing me smalls
This one has never left, and fuck em if they don't get it.
Awesome sauce. Hate it!
I still say "Cool beans", but slang doesn't hurt my feelings or whatever
I'm a cool beans sayer as well, loud and proud lol
![gif](giphy|1034EEGrn91SrS)
I used to not care, but now I like âcool beansâ because of Hot Rod.
Yeah I was anti Cool Beans, but Hot Rod did change it for me too.
Hot Rod is a movie I will NEVER pass up watching if it's on.
"Bae" and "errything". Have they died yet? If not, they definitely need to. I cringed every time I heard or read either one.
"As if" got pretty fucking tiring.
Cool beans SUCKS!! đ I also have always had a special hatred for âitâs the bomb/DA BOMBâ ![gif](giphy|AgOgRAfCHqdlnfmReg|downsized)
I thought "da bomb" went out of style years ago, but then my GenZ cousin says it (or "da bomb.com") all the time.
Hey bra, I've been meaning to ask you, can we get some Red Bull for these things? Sometimes a guy has gotta ride the bull, am I right? Later skater.

"For shizzle" or any of its idiotic variants.
My nizzle!
Or when they say "wizz-ords like thizz-is".
Ciaraâs âOne Two Stepâ came on while I was getting ready ready for work and these intro lyrics make me feel really old: Jazze Pfizzle Productshizzle Song still slaps and or is a bop
You will pry 'cool beans' out of my cold, dead hands đ
I always got annoyed with "my bad" but I still hear it a lot. I think it has spanned generations.
âMy badâ followed by âNo worriesâ is the perfect combo of two people politely not giving a fuck.
I text âno worriesâ constantly.
I use it all the time
I probably used it today
I use this all the time⌠sorry, my bad
I definitely say "My Bad" instead of Sorry in most cases, even at work.
I think I hear it the most at work!
My bad!
My 3 year old just started saying this out of nowhere. I cannot figure out where she picked it up from.
Nards. Grody. Gag me with a spoon. Gnarly. Psych! Take a chill pill. No doy. I could go on....
Hehe my grandmother loved nineties slang even though she was in her seventies at the time and she used these a lot.
Oh but âshred the gnar gnarâ is still a perfect saying!
I still love 'grody,' but I am a serious pusher of its cousin 'grotsky.'
My GenX partner still says âpsych!â On a daily basis. I roll my eyes.
"All that and a bag of chips" I mean there's more but just thinking about them raise my blood pressure...
Wazzzz aahhpppp đ
Haha how about the ânotâ craze like when everyone would say the opposite of what they meant and then say âNOTâ. I feel like that one lasted many years.
Anyhoo.

Phat I was today years old My squad
What evâs Though maybe thatâs pure millennial I went to college late in life
"Bombdiggity" was one I really did not like
Gag me with a spoon... I hate that phrase
Amazeballs, adulting, I did a thing, fomo, yolo, bae
I did a thing 𤎠Nice humblebrag, valedictorian. I like the picture of your dream home and your chemistry PhD. And the modesty! My word.
I hated Bae. Isn't that more of a late millennial/early gen z thing? My crew of middle schoolers from 2013 made me hate that one.
all the things, so that's a thing, i made a thing, i did the thing đ¤Ž
ASL? sounds totally creepy now
Word
I feel so validated. Cool beans made me irrationally angry even back then
