Teach Me Teen Lingo

I hear On God a lot - to show that you're telling the truth. "Larla broke up with Joe. On God" I'm not a fan of it. Sometimes it's On Your Mom, which is so lovely too.

Bet for yes/you bet. "Want to go to the movies? Bet."

What’s yassify?

[Anonymous]

This thread is hilarious. I don't have a tween/teen, but the only new things I saw was cap and brick (which I don't quite get). I feel like if I know the rest, it is pretty mainstream, at least in internet culture in general.

TLDR is used here on DCUM, for example. Spill the tea, I googled from Grey's anatomy. Etc.

But I like the (presumably kidding) posts with the super old/obvious lingo. You guys are GOAT.

Kind of like making something unappealing into something glam/beautiful (but in a gay way kind of?)

Like there’s this TikTok filter where Shrek appears dressed in a sexy body suit and heeled boots. That’s the yassification of Shrek.

There’s one that makes me laugh where they take “She put her whole pu*sy into it” meaning someone put a lot of effort into it and change it for various things by adding “ussy” to the end of a word

So if a farmer was working really hard at farming he’s putting his whole farmussy into it

TLDR for “to summarize”
I’ve heard fire but not brick
There was another one they were saying the other day but now I’ve forgotten it—it will come to me.

TLDR is ‘too long, didn’t read’. If you post many, long winded paragraphs, you can end it with a tdlr version as in a short, summarized version with one or two sentences.

Yes, I know that. But teens use it differently—to mean a summary or saying something briefly. I find many of their terms are things I recognize but they use in a broader sense. OG to mean the original or older version of anything. low key to mean “a little bit” — she was low-key mean to me about my hair.

Worldl with rude words. Probably fun but NSFW

“That’s 69” …. From 12 year olds. My kid still tells me everything and doesn’t always wear his headset while gaming, so I get an earful at times. Apparently saying something is 69 is saying that something is really, really rad.

Simp and sus also seem to the the big ones with these kids.

You may here them talking about their "dawgs" (friends), or the "beyotches" (women they don't like). "Broke ass" is an insult they like to use. You may also here them say something like "that sh*t is DOPE" which also means really good. Okay you're up to date on lingo

Thank you for cracking me up!

My teen says "boi" (carries out the "oi" sound at the end) after many sentences, sort of for emphasis. I'm not sure this is really new, but it's new for her. She was big into "sussybacca" for a while too as another poster mentioned.

This thread confirms that my kids are not cool and I’m okay with that.

None of the people in this thread are cool. Most of the lingo discusses is not new and/or not used by teens.

Cuck is now short for the old literary word “cuckold.”

It can have its literal, original meaning.

Or, it is simply used as an insult, usually to imply a weak, subservient male.

It took me forever to get the "cap" and "no cap" one.

No cap - not lying
Cap - lying

Also their use of "babe, no" as a polite way to tell someone just how wrong they are.
