My millennial partner (admittingly adopted the lingo late) approaches strangers with doggos and says things like what a Heckin good pupper, who’s a smoll boi etc.

Not surprised at zoomers doing this. Its just more funny on twitter when someone says something like fugg you!

There’s a whole tiktok-only meta where people think that adding particular tags or censoring certain words will prevent automod from deleting their post

I’m not sure it even works that way, but it’s very common

If only we had things that corrected spelling mistakes, let’s call them “spellcheckers”

It’s scary how we seem to be getting closer and closer to 1984.

Not really? One is done for corporate profit. The other is the state.

End result is the same for us though. It just ends up being someone different enforcing it.

It was also written in 1946 or 47 but published in 1948. See the pattern? They swapped the 4 and 8 and published a dystopian future of the far off year 1984, lol.

Sorry, I just love that little fact.

Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn’t newspeak; they’re still talking about the topics, they’re just using dumb filter workarounds.

Though I do feel it’d be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed

on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, my generation piloted the spoken use of “lol”, “lmao”, and their myriad variations in pronunciation. this strikes me as merely upholding that proud tradition.

I suppose eventually I’ll come around to accepting it, if it persists. But these are not the same; the intent behind them is different. “LOL” is an acronym, not a censorship workaround. Saying it out loud is purely ironic. Maybe the zoomers saying Tiktokisms out loud is also ironic (I’ve personally never heard it directly), but the reason it exists in the first place is stupid

Every generation comes up with new terms that the older generations don’t get. The proud tradition has been going strong since language began.
