You know how it goes, first people start saying the silly meme phrase “ironically”, then they can’t stop themselves saying it, then it becomes awkwardly unironic, and then it gets embedded in the lexicon and Miriam-Webster adds it to the dictionary
2060 is going to be lit fam AHEM I mean it’s going to be funny
Not to discredit your point, but 80 years ago was 1944, and everybody then would know what you mean by that 2nd sentence.
Cool goes back to Shakespeare and beyond. But it was also popular in the American vernacular in the 1930s.
“Cool” was hardly the only thing modern vernacular about that sentence. It’s use 80 years ago would not have the same meaning now, and in the syntax of the sentence would seem odd, much like the OP’s usage of contemporary slang.
Believe it or not, just because a word has previously been used as slang doesn’t mean the meaning hasn’t shifted through time. See: “low-key.”
Merriam-Webster’s been adding stuff to the dictionary long before it’s even really embedded in the lexicon lately. Probably trying to stay relevant.
Are the front curls really such a zoomer thing? I’ve been dealin’ with’em for decades now because Arabic and Irish heritage means my hair is constantly in rebellion against british beauty standards
It’s become a zoomer thing. Last Xmas my friend’s little cousin of Polish and Polish heritage was rocking them instead of his usual arrow straight hair.
I imagine, with that heritage, every part of you is in constant rebellion against the British!
I thought the Meet Me at McDonald’s was just curly on top, shaved back and sides. Dubya in this pic looks like one of those goldfish with the big sticking-out brain.
and the al-qaeda be like: “lmao gotem”
The zoomer haircut xD
