When I was a kid I thought grownups were out of touch when they used slang and it made me cringe.
Now I’m a grownup I know that they did it to make me cringe.
They definitely did it to make you cringe.
Source: Am a secondary math teacher/parent and do shit like this all the time to make my students/children cringe.
The best way to kill cringey slang is for old people to use it
this teacher thrives on making their students cringe you love to see it
Relevant:
I’m already loving to misuse slang around all the nieces and nephews. They’re all 3-14, so it changes depending on which kid is around, but the eye rolls are fantastic.
We need to tap into the power of the cringe and we might have an unlimited energy source.
Edit to add my updated version
Historians will at some point look at this comic strip as a representation of “cringe” that predates the word that later came to describe it.
Cringey is not slang.
Technically it is, cringeworthy would be the “proper” way of saying it
Fine, I can live with that.
Umm ackhtually it would technically be cringe-worthy.
Cringe.
no quicker way to get kids to stop a behavior than when the “uncool” people start doing it. remember when dabbing was a thing for like 10 minutes, until the school principal started doing it?
The day my parents signed up for Facebook was the day my account died. I’m sure many other millennials have similar experiences lol
ironic how facebook will die with the boomers
Shame meta won’t go with it
i think the shift to “meta” was their response to the realization that only boomers use facebook anymore.
but what does meta provide that gen z wants? oculus stuff? threads? LOL
once something bubbles up to replace instagram (which it will), they’re done
I would agree if they weren’t such a prolific backbone for the tech industry. They’re not just gonna vanish when people stop using their apps because businesses will still pump cash into them
such a prolific backbone for the tech industry
i’m not familiar with this. what businesses require meta for their existence?
It won’t though. Those billions of active users are not all bots but people outside the US.
Zuckerberg said during the most recent earnings call that usage amongst 18-29 year olds is actually growing though.
i’ll bet he did
Not really. Xellenial here and it’s still very much active with my friends and I. Honestly the simplest way to stay in touch with people you only occasionally talk to but want to know what’s going on.
you’re saying that you’re a “xellenial” so facebook is immortal because “you and your friends” use it to keep in touch?
that sounds like something a boomer would say-- “IIIIIII use it, therefore everyone uses it!!!”
LOL
I left Facebook when they banned me for not using my real name.
I was left in limbo indefinitely, because I challenged their assessment, and every time I try to log in now, it says that my account is “under review” or whatever.
Been like that for… Going on 6 years or so now. Maybe more.
As a user oft neither, I really don’t really see the difference between Instagram and Facebook, so maybe just try Instagram?
Seriously though, they seem to have similar features and UIs. Apart from Instagram having short form videos to doom scroll on (instead of talking to or silently sitting next to the other person in the room) what features does it have that Facebook doesn’t?
🫡 This. This is how it’s done. Carry on, teacher, you do the work of the universe.
This is how you stop kids using these words.
When my son is a few years older and is using the latest slang i am gonna ruin it for him. Gonna be that dad, like this meme, im gonna use it wrong, im gonna mix it with slang i used to use. Im gonna make him cringe and im gonna do it in front of other parents at his school!! Mwahahahahahaha SKIBIDI RIZZ BITCHES!!!
As a middle school principal, I gas all my staff to be as gucci as this dope teacher.
Growing up is realizing the kids (and you) were the real cringe ones
HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW STUDENTS
"Always be bussin’, never be sussin’ I’m gonna remember that line
Have a Big Chungus weekend, bro.
And may it be riztastic for you bro!
And a skibidi Ohio to you too
Is bussin’ related to bussy?
Respectfully
I’m Chris Hansen, take a seat. What exactly did you mean when you told a 14 year old to have a “Big Chungus weekend?”
Look it’s just kid slang. Just because I have a cotton candy flavored condom in my pocket, three packets of cherry lube, a six pack of wine coolers and 12 pack of birthday cake vodka shots doesn’t mean it’s any different from when I use a piece of rabbit skin I rub on my dick every night to fall asleep.
Admittedly, you look and sound much older than I remember but you’re still 14 right?
Jesus Christ how horrifying
Big chungus tho
The Chungus is AmongUs.
fo shizzle my nizzle
High fives in millennial
This is pretty funny
The fact the skibidi says yes yes instead of skibidi makes me think they’ve seen it, because everyone who hasn’t tends to just say skibidi.
I’ve read your sentence half a dozen times and it’s making my head swim. Can someone please translate?
I think the character says what they actually say in the video, as opposed to saying skibidi which is what everyone who has not seen it assumes he says. I’m in the latter party
I’m still lost. Be right back, asking my middle schoolers to translate.
Ok I got some middle schooler translation on this. Apparently there’s a video of a guy’s (a Half Life character’s) head coming out of a toilet. You can see it drawn on the board to the far right of the picture. In the video, he spouts a bunch of nonsense including “Yes yes”.
Said middle schooler is annoyed that I asked him, since apparently this is some elementary school-aged memes. This checks out, because my 4th grader over heard us talking and yelled “Skibibi!!”
I suppose if you hear your class talking about something a lot, it probably makes some sense to at least briefly look into it. Especially if the general gist of it can be understood by watching one thirty second youtube video
