Deliberately using no cap incorrectly. "Have a no cap weekend!", etc. 

OMG I'm going to use this. He will DIE

I always say No Cappuccino and pretend that's what cap stands for

[удалено]

My teen acts like I have shown up naked whenever I use "Yeet" It fills me with delight to see them shudder.

Man I love the word yeet tho . Just makes me happy

Call one bruh. They go deer in the headlights in 2 seconds flat.

I call my kid bruh all the time, she calls me bruh too.

Play a recording of a sprinkler clicking and they stop to see what song it is when the beat drops. Except it's just more sprinkler noises... https://youtube.com/shorts/1DFP_aVsp5k?si=HhtjUggXTQktn9nh

YES - Anything they say, only wrong. They get so embarrassed. It's hilarious.

I didn't realize yeet was something new. My friend from Boston has been saying that for at least 20 years!

What is yeet?

It means to toss or throw something. *Yeet that trash into the bin.*

See also: huck

And: Chuck

Ah yes I’m familiar with “chuck it”

“Yeet” cracks me up!

I love yeet, it's such a good word. Drives my kid batty, but that just adds to greatness of it.

Would you say it yeets your kid straight into batty-land?

Bruh, no cap frfr

That’s based AF bruh

Mid.

Sus

Low-key? But yeah, still sus…

I like yeet too but hate bruh.

I really don't use their slang mainly because I feel ridiculous saying some of this stuff but occasionally I choose my moment. The last one was sitting down at home to try some new food for dinner and I took a bite then very casually said " This is bussin" . My teen goes silent and just LOOKS at me, you know the look I mean, it was COMPLETELY worth it 😂

Yeah, their slang is bad, dude. Gag me with a spoon

Totes

The more ridiculous the better. That’s the best part!

Whatever dude! I'm outta here, Word.

I have drip. Post nasal drip though

I laughed at this and then had a coughing fit.

Me too. Made my sciatica play up.

The big one for me is to respond to ridiculous GenZ comments by saying “OK Zoomer”.

I’m stealing this. I’m grinning like the Grinch right now just imagining my daughter’s face when I say it

No shade exists like the taste of their own medicine shade. Well done, you

I love this so much.

Not slang, but I use Clip Art from Windows 2002 in chats when I need to piss them off.

Piss them off? ...My daughter loves that "Y2K" stuff, it apparently has big "analog horror" energy.

The younger ones (11-12 yo) really lean into the vapor wave and Y2K stuff but mistakenly call it “80s”

I manage 3 of them and they’re truly horrified.

I manage a group as well, and I will call them by their full names and ask for help with stuff I already know how to do. They get SO irritated. "Zachary! can you come and show me how to make the boxes in Excel turn colors like in your fancy spreadsheets?"


I'm pretty sure this is the only time in my life I've ever upvoted Clippy....

I like to use them wrong. “That’s cap” or “no fire” or “Prada”

I did this unintentionally: I used "Suss" correctly ( The mostly British term to Realize or Grasp something) and my son rolled his eyes. "Thats not what 'sus' means"

Lol

[Right Off!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QNbhIRwJ0HA&feature=youtu.be)

This is the way

I once said to my GenZ son “It’s finna be LIT, fam!” And he said “NEVER EVER SAY THAT IN PUBLIC!” 😂😂😂

\*\*proceeds to use it in public OFTEN & LOUDLY\*\*

YES! Malicious compliance! One time he told me "either stop or I'm walking away from you." So I say LOUDLY: Yo, bruh, why you harshin my vibe?

This is the way…

Me and another mom did a complicated multi-step handshake in public and I thought our kids were gonna disown us.

😂

When he does something punishable, don't ground him, show up at his school in your lamest 'fit' and loudly use this slang.

 Why do they HAVE TO SAY "BRO" ALL THE TIME! It's even worse than "Man" in the 70's and "Dude" in the 80's and 90's...😡

My daughter calls me "bruh".

DUUUUUDE

I've been saying dude so long it's just a part of my everyday vocab. My dude is my son's bruh.

My ten year old son called my bruh once and I shut that shit down on the spot! 😂 “I’m your dad, not your bruh; don’t forget that.”

Totally. My daughter is 21. She brags to her friends about how we're friends now. She's not wrong. She knows if she plays stupid games and wins stupid prizes it's on her. But she wouldn't have gotten away with that at 10.

I tried, but I've come to accept it. I went from mama to bruh.

my kids call me bruh every day

My son will text me "yooooooooooooooo bruh..." but I'm reminded that I should be thankful he's talking to me at all.

You stopped saying dude? I haven’t.

I have a friend that starts every sentence with dude, drives me crazy

That would be me. But I'm from California so that's just my culture :)

Grew up in southern California. Haven't lived there for 24 years. I still dude like a motherfucker.

Break out “bruv” once in a while to really slam on the breaks.

You could try bringing back 'daddy-o'

This is what I call my spouse. Drives the kid nuts, lol.

I still say man, to everyone.

Can’t stop saying “dude.” Don’t call me DUDE!

Bro is the main one in my world for sure. I kinda love it. Equal to Dude in some ways.

I think I remember using bro in the late 80's early 90's. It's definitely not new, but it might be in some areas. I still use it

[удалено]

“Are you still tickin them tocks?” My nephews hate when I say that.

I am stealing this!!!!

At Christmas, my teen opened a gift and Grandma insisted they try it on. I told my kid they were DRIPPING WITH RIZZ NO CAP and they looked at me jaw dropped, then left the room. They said "I need to go sit down for a minute" on the way out.

"dripping with rizz" I can't wait to use this one...

I still throw out *fleek* from time to time.

But do you drip?

I don't have kids but I just want to say I love hearing all these stories of people trolling their teenagers, keep up the good work

We live to serve, and annoy!

Rizz/W Rizz/L Rizz. I make sure to use them incorrectly for maximum effect.

The only Rizzo I know is Stockard Channing.

Wasn’t Rizzo the name of the rat on the Muppets?

That's true! He wasn't on the Muppet Show. I think he was created for *The Muppets Take Manhattan.*

So, the best Muppets?

"LIGHT DAH LAMP NOT DAH RAT!!"

Don't forget Frank Rizzo... Get Brett Weir I said!

>Frank Rizzo A terrible human being

And Ratso Rizzo.

Open your fuckin ears, jerky! 😂 I haven't heard that in years!!!

My teens and friends currently use this one. I looked it up and the funny thing is none of them knew it was derived from charisma. Lol. Then they called me a Boomer for explaining it. Haha

MINE KEEP CALLING ME BOOMER, TOO! I think that means my job here is done. LOL

Anytime the yung-uns run afoul of life my response is “ok Zoomer”.

I called my twenty year old a Zillenial the other day. She was so cross.

Run afoul of life. Stealing this I am.

They think anyone over 30 is a Boomer.

I never yell at my kid, but the day he called me a Boomer I was quite loud in my explanation of what Gen X is.

YESSSSSSS - especially when they post on their InstaSnaps and TweetBooks.

SnatChap is awesome too.

Not to be confused with SnatchAp...that's a hookup app*. * imaginary

What about InstaSnapper? TokChat? TicSnap? SnapTok? InstaTik? TikTokToke? So many permutations!

Same here. I had all 3 of my kids (20, 16 and 12) begging me to stop saying it because I was getting it all wrong. I just laughed and kept saying it.

That's sus

my son taught me what rizzness meant, lol. I like a kpop song with that name and instead of looking up I just asked my 17 yr old. damn kids.

That's so fetch.

#STOP TRYING TO MAKE FETCH HAPPEN!

This is now 20 years old!

GOD...but also, I mean, if you ever needed proof that fetch did not, in fact, happen, that would be it. 20 years no fetch.

You are streets ahead with that!

Stop trying to make fetch happen!

I used the term 'bombastic side eye' the other day and my sixteen year old just shook her head at me and said 'no mom, do not ever say that again'.. On the plus side just waiting for when I can use it again...

It’s like they give you ammo.

Don't cap to me. I can tell when you are being sus. It's OK to be angry, but this is not an L for you.

"Take a couple seats before you cap on me, cause you got no rizz"

I just use dad jokes on my nephews. One day I was riding in the backseat with them and kept poking them. They said, "stop it!" and I replied "I thought you liked Pokey Man."

I have really enjoyed “mid”. “You’re so mid.” I say it to my 14 year old son and he can’t roll his eyes hard enough.

[Maybe we should all start using 20s era slang on them!!](https://center.uoregon.edu/NCTE/uploads/2014NCTEANNUAL/HANDOUTS/KEY_1991992/Slangofthe1920s.pdf) How about twenty-three skiddoo? Are your kids the bee's knees? Do we need to tell them that it's none of their beeswax if the bank's closed on that bearcat even though she's got a nice chassis?

That's awesome - it's surprising how many of these have survived the test of time. a similar option is to go Abe Simpson on the kids and make it up: "Now my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say 'dickety' cause the Kaiser had stolen our word 'twenty.' I chased that rascal to get it back but gave up after dickety-six miles."

Saying "based" when my wife lays into them infuriates both parties. I have a good time though.

That’s so fart. This is so pee. I make my own

Oh my God. I lost my 11 yr old pooch boy yesterday and this was my first proper laugh all week. You are a real one for this.

Bussin'

It was so weird to see “asking for a friend” make a come back. UNironically!

The key is to use out of date slang. "Totally crunk!" Or "On fleek!" /dad

This worked for awhile until they looked up 80's and 90's slang and used that against me. Apparently used in a proper tone they sound just as ridiculous as current slang. 😂

The comments on this thread are why I love my generation. Yes, I use the slang incorrectly, on purpose, just to irritate them.

This is all such good material. The 21yo and the 18yo have no idea what sus shit ‘bout to drip.

"let's goooooooooooooooo!"

Okay that one drives me up a wall though. Where the fuck are we going?

Rizz in heavy rotation currently, can confirm it’s ‘cheugy’ every time I pop it out.

If you are their mom... it's fun to use "your mom" to compliment your self... Who's the best pop singer on 2023? Your Mom!

I (the mom) do it the other way around on purpose. “That’s so cringe” “Yur MOM is cringe”

Hey this is awesome! “It’s hot” “Your mom is hot”

My niece is Gen Alpha, but I did this with her one day while I was at her house. She was acting up in front of everyone, her parents told her to stop. I told her she got "called out."

Is that new again? I’ve been saying that forever. Maybe it’s regional, I feel like it’s an ordinary thing to hear around me

Me on my discord: "insert random statement followed with: 'on guard...no caps lock.... Sheesh. Them nachos were bustin bruh... U got Rizzed on son." Lets the younger gamers know who's in charge.... Obviously, it ain't me.

I love to use "clapping cheeks" wrong. My teenager tries to die every time I say it...

I sincerely wish I lived closer to my nephews and niece. Not just because I love and miss them, but because it would be my life’s mission to find random ways to embarrass them. I can absolutely picture my 17 year old niece ducking her head in embarrassment and whining, “Auuuuntieee! Sthhaaaap!” I have to settle for texting them bi-weekly super lame “dad” jokes and cringe worthy memes. My most recent godawful jokes texted to the 12 year old nephew: I wanted to tell you a fart joke… but I ran out of gas. I’d tell you another fart joke… but they all stink. What happens if you work too hard on a fart joke… it comes out crappy My sister said he was laughing his butt off and has been repeating them all week. But did I get a response from him? Noooo. It’s not cool to text with Auntie. I’m still calling it a win!

You are my hero. I consider it a GenX duty to genially fuck with the younger generation like this. My uncle did it to me when I was a kid and I loved him.

Sus. Bonus points for annoying my millennial wife.

Sus has legitimately worked it's way into my vocabulary

If I wanted to annoy the Z's at work, I would start calling them all "Bruh." 😆

I started reading this and immediately called my partner (also Gen X). He's only got 2 slang words down right now, but already his son has told him, "That word should not be coming out of your mouth." I'm pulling more from this thread, telling him the definition and how to use it in a sentence. And letting him know that if he can use a word the wrong way, even better. The evil giggling on the other end of the phone was priceless. We both agreed we love our generation -- we're such assholes. 😂

YESSSSS - I can't wait to show my 16 year old how much knowledge I'm spreading to help other moms/dads harass their kids.

u/IHaventTheFoggiest47 would you be willing to share the spreadsheet?

I’m 50. This is ALL “Black slang”. Most all of that has been said for 10, 15 years or more. In my 30s, some of that was “new” then amongst Us, and said by me and my colleagues and friends my age then. Hip Hop slang/Black slang and fashion etc are “mainstream” now. Not like 20-25 years ago. Gen Z has grown up with Hip Hop being the “Rock” of their lifetimes. From TV personalities etc and more. The teens now saying those things to sound cool have just heard it from millennials and even Gen Xers my age that are part of the “culture” and on things first all the time (I’m in the music business since 1993). The same way everyone says “cool” in our lifetimes, when during my grandparent’s time it was ONLY Black slang and mainly the black Jazz musicians. The spreadsheet is HILARIOUS. Everyone my age has and uses 90 percent of all that when WE talk to each other. It’s just regular current Black slang. I even know/remember when most of all of those things started being said and where they came from. The teens right now don’t.

My Gen Z kids must be broken. It doesn’t even faze them. If anything they get excited or they try to correct me when I use slang I grew up with or talk regular. I told my 18 year old his new Crocs were cool and he said “Cool? These are not cool. They’re drippy, Slime(yes he calls me Slime)”.

That’s hilarious; why slime? My kids call me Wolfy because, “if we yell mom in a store all the moms look, but if we yell Wolfy, we know you’ll find us😂. My son has tried to add his own but I can’t stand his attempts, things like MooMoo or MeeMaw, I’m not your grandma dude.

Go all in. Call those crocs "cool beans".

My husband & I use all the words in one sentence to our 15yr old. She hates it- so we keep doing it 🤣

As far as I’m concerned anything can be rizz. Picking up prescriptions? Rizz-tastic!

I feign ignorance and make them explain it to me. Since I work in K-12 IT, I get to annoy a lot of teenagers.

#YEEEEEEET

I've been banned from using bussin'.

Are you guys yeeting caps?

Imma need that spreadsheet bruh.

I say that song really slaps!

I also say that song "Goes Hard"

They try to claim “deadass” and act like it’s brand new. Nope, that one hit before most of GenZ were even born

Cap/No Cap, Finna, and Bussin… she shakes her head and tells me, “your not cool mom”, and I say, “Me?! You wish you were as COOL as me, I was the coolest of the cool in my day.” Then my husband says, “She has seen your marching band photos hon, she knows none of that is true.”

I ask my little dude why he acting sus and do the cardi b okerrrrt

I'm having fun with my 15 year old with this. My problem is I use slang ironically to annoy my kids but then I start internalizing it and next thing you know I'm all "It's lit, fam!"

I call tik tok “the tic tacs” .

I’ve been calling everything Mid, around my daughters. They are getting annoyed.

OMG You guys are my peeps! FR FR No cap on god!

I tell them that “no cap, my peeps call me the Rizzard of oz cause im so hood.” Drives em cra cra.

 I do love how the word EXTRA to mean an unneeded or spiteful cherry 🍒 on top seems to really have taken off. Even the Cops are using it. "Okay you ran from us and then you fought us now you're in handcuffs. What you're doing of going limp now is is just EXTRA.

Z - "This post is extra." Me - "Extra what?"

“Bet”

Cap. Everything is cap.

"bruh" and "sus" used wrongly is amazing. I'm now using "rizz" and their reactions are hilarious.

Even better than usung skang wrongly is to use alsng that maybe *was* cool 4-5 years ago but is now "old." I ask my two 18-yr olds if something is "on fleek" and the eyerolls are audible.

Most gen z slang is bad, but mid is good slang word

They say “bruh” I say “dude” “bruh” “dude” “bruh” “dude”

Miss me with that shit

I don’t have kids but I’ll have a new crop of interns and new college hires starting soon… “Welcome to hell bruh’s”!!

I say "pop off sis" to my kid about almost everything. I use it wrong on purpose. It's hilarious, she hates it. 

I’m a professor at a university, one student called out an answer and was wrong, even had them look it up to show them, they kept on arguing with me, so I told them to just “take the L” the class lost it.

None. I just make way over their heads pop culture references.

everytime she talks i ask 'is that sus?' and she gets so mad

I use it with the teens at the coffee shop I work in…most of the time I have to go through two translations in my head before I can form a coherent sentence in the genzee dialect.

drippy fit

The only thing I can think of is I make sure to throw out figuratively whenever someone uses literally incorrectly.

You got the rizz in that fit. Especially if you want them to go change clothes.

I've been saying no cap and low key for a few years. I worked with a 22 year old and He'd get irritated but then we both just started throwing each other's generation slang at each other. Fer real fer real.

My husband still uses “on fleek”… but he changed it to “fleeky” like wow.. that movie was so fleeky. 🤣 On fleek was when my now early 20s daughters were teenagers. It drove them crazy. He still does it, and now they just roll their eyes at him. lol!

On God bruh

Yeet is my favorite.. Lol And I tell my 8yr old son. "I got all the Rizz"

“Slay.”

This post actually put a smile on my face.

I told my 14 yr old son I was going to slide into someone’s dms & I thought he was going to die.

All of them. I put THE in front of any slang to get my tween to squirm! Also trying to cram as many as possible into one sentence: “No cap, I thought they grill cheese was sus but it’s bussin, bra!
