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.

Sure, the point is that 80 years isn’t that long ago. And your example still wouldn’t be so obscure as to be unintelligible at that time, regardles. Believe it or not.

Word.
I am guilty af here, fr.
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.
cousin of Polish and Polish heritage
Sure he doesn’t also has some Polish in him? Maybe a bit of Polish too?
I imagine, with that heritage, every part of you is in constant rebellion against the British!
As well they should be.
Broccoli cut
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.
Article doesn’t explain why they felt the need to ban it?
With a name like Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, I’m guessing it’s just a case of “posh old fashioned British school being posh and old fashioned fuddy-duddies when confronted with anything that departs from their narrow view of propriety” 🤷
I see you’re not familiar with the quality journalism of the Metro
Fuckin Birds nest
and the al-qaeda be like: “lmao gotem”
Airplane hits tower… pilot yelling “KOBE”
The zoomer haircut xD
The Brokkoli, it’s pretty fetch.
Stop 👏 trying 👏 to make 👏 fetch 👏 happen 👏👏👏
Or is the clap more of a millennial thing 🤔
It’s called the “meet me at McDonald’s” haircut. No joke
It’s actually typically called the “Broccoli cut.”
At least that’s the only way I’ve heard it.
Why the heck is this in /c/shitpost? That’s a quality post and it belongs to the front page lmao
Lemmy loves shit and poo this is where the nuggets hang
Situation is very sus
I know I’m old but what does ‘no cap’ mean?
A cap is a lie /exaggerated boast so no cap = I am being serious or this is the truth
Fr
On God
On 🅱️
On Jah
Fr*nce?
It means you’re being On God Fr Fr about something
*sumfin
Bet
🗿💀
It means “I am not being capricious”
Jk I have no clue and don’t care don’t correct me
This is now fact in my head cannon
Fr?
“Cap” is a lie or exaggeration.
So “no cap” is “I’m not lying/I’m being serious.”
Do you by any chance know if this expression stems from twitch chat? I’ve heard the expression “No Kappa” pretty early there where kappa is the trollface of the platform often indicating something is meant ironically.
On the flip side “No Cap” could indicate the absence of irony and therefore something bering dead serious
If I remember correctly, it’s from a Travis Scott song. But I don’t typically listen to rap, so I wouldn’t know for sure.
popularized from the Young Thug and Future track of the same name:
My bitch can’t sleep at my house
Make her sleep at a hotel now
And when you talk, man, you talking off cap
And your diamonds they looking like tap
I was always ducking from the paps
Keep an R&B bitch in my lap
Out in Beverly Hills, I adapt
But I still had to ride with that strapYellow diamonds like banana, that’s cap
Put some dirty in Mello Yello, no cap
Rocking Maison Margiela’s, that’s cap
Red bitch, Cinderella, no cap
I can turn perroI can turn Pedro
Bad bitch out the ghetto
9/11 was not poggers
frfr?
On g
Bruh moment
Aight imma head to my crib finna pop some caps yall
Rizz

I see your rizz and raise you a skibidi. (probably b/c I like the way that word sounds in my head… sk-i-bi-di do dah day 🎵 🎶 )
Also, rizz means “the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner” so… now I have to think about GWB strutting his stuff, thanks for that:-P (that’s surely what made me think of my own word… gotta flush it out somehow?)
Rizz is just short for “Charisma”
There is no z in charisma, obviously it’s short for Rizzoli
I love my pasta rizzolini
Rizzolini sounds like an WW2 Italian dictator
From New Jersey.
I like this explanation the best: therefore this is now permanently etched into my brain! :-P
…and Isles??
🎶Sticking out your gyat for the rizzler! You’re so skibidi, you’re so Fanum tax…🎶
Iraq Sus!
sir the twin towers got phanum taxed
I was watching the Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve from 1999 and immediately after the ball dropped they cut to a shot of the NYC skyline with the WTC intact.
My Zoomer kid was shocked. Every time they’ve seen the WTC it’s been at the start of some 9/11 documentary.
It’s in every “cut to a shot of NYC” scene pre-2001
So nothing they would have seen since they’re still kids and were born well after 2001
I don’t think the kids these days are watching a lot of “You’ve Got Mail”
Wasn’t that in Seattle?
No, it’s set in Manhattan and features a number of filming locations in New York.
I think I was thinking of Sleepless in Seattle which I think is the same movie.
They might as well be
LEARN YOUR HISTORY KIDS
Well, every shot from 1973 to 2001 at least.
Still kinda weird for me to see the NYC skyline without them tbh. And I was 10 when 911 occurred… and I’m not even American
And movie trailer …(like Spider-Man)
This is going to be “too soon” until all of the millennials are dead.
Everyone outside the US are over it, especially considering the war to follow
Yeah I can see that.
Don’t make me feel old. That’s not nice! But yeah I know. It’s just still such a gut punch.
George Carlin was first.
Joan Rivers got there just after.
We’ve been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn’t new, even boomers do it
I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar’s Club roast. Can’t remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of “The Aristocrats”
Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows.
(I’m not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was…)
Oh I know. And there’s some lessening of the emotions, I’m not enraged by the jokes this time. Just…sad.
Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. “Too soon” never existed for some of us.
That’s coping humor. There’s no stopping that.
Exactly. I was in class when we saw the crash on TV, we’re allowed to joke about it.
I feel attacked! 9/11 this mf!
Maybe, but we’re already dead inside.
