Alternative title: use these words if you want your kid to never say them again
I started doing this and it works. Even better when I string them together incoherently and then they all get even madder.
I like to use their words incorrectly to mess with them. Come up behind them playing Minecraft: “Are you playing that Roblox?” Or "For Real No Cat?’
Dads have been enjoying this since home video games became a thing. Now go play your Gameboy.
it’s like these words have some kind of hidden meaning and when we (the olden folks) use them it debases their value.
which simply encourages me to use the more. “This shit has skibidi ohio rizz all over, no cap no fleek stream”
I have no idea what this incantation means, but it drives my children bonkers. feel free to try it.
I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.
There is no such thing as generational slang. There is just slang.
Sticking out my GYAT for the Rizzler, something something fanum tax.
Shoot me now.
A lot of those are GenZ slang not Gen alpha slang.
Gen Alpha aren’t going to have their own slang that’s not completely cringe until the ladder half gets to highschool. RN they’re barely in middle school.
Not to mention “barley in middle school”
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.
They’re just now figuring out what “beat your meat” actually means, give them time, for now/so far everything they’ve come up with is cringe AF. Same thing happened with GenZ & millennials, first was an adoption & adaptation of older slang mixed with cringe as hell new slang that faded out of popularity, then overtime much better slang evolved.
They’re still in that “I’m a potato” phase of slang development.
Edit : NVM, dyslexia moment.
Latter means “comes last” not first.

If you’re going to correct someone at least make sure you’re right yourself.
Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was niche talk
Aren’t Gen alpha still young children? Their slang is a little too new to have much staying power yet.
Me after reading the article:
I dont care for this, no cap
