I read LMAO is reversed if something is extremely funny and I was confused af for a minute
OAML!
Orgasmic Atomic Major Laughter
Octopus-Augmented Machine Learning
Ostrogothic Advanced Marxism-Leninism
I’ve only ever used them ironically, so I can confirm I’m a linguical mastermind
Just like how people should ironically updoot my comment here, since I am very low on Lemmy karma and need some 👆👆👆
It’s all tubular.
As a kid from the 80s-era San Fernando Valley, I have legit cred to say that.
But the most important part of the best meme ever is ROFL
my roflcopter goes SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOISOISOISOISOISOI
My roflcopter goes soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi
it’s called a skippy
I’ve been a helicopter pilot for like 55 years.
That’s a deep cut Mr Segal.
Gonna have to look this one up. It went over my head.
No gif?
Edit: was easier to find than I had anticipated.

Turn that link into an embed with
(the exclamation mark makes it an embed, rather than a hyperlink. The description isn’t technically necessary).
I may be wrong but I believe the description is what is read by screen readers to help those with visual impairments.
I’m pretty sure you’re right.
I try to fill it in where I can, I may have come off more dismissive than I meant and should’ve elaborated.
Whoa, this is heavy!
There’s that word again! Is there something wrong with the Earth’s gravity in the past?
You mean mavity?
Slay and serve are part of the drag/queer community lexicon that were made popular (iirc) in the NY ballroom scene. No one cares when 6th graders use them or if they stop.
If you watch queer media or hang out with The Gays, you’ll hear them all the time. They’re a bit campy, but not cringe.
This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There’s an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.
Only because 11 year olds aren’t familiar with serving cunt yet
*american 11 year olds
drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene
Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”
Thanks :)
I still speak as if I’m from Ooo, so…
Ooo?
Many many years in the future, long after the great mushroom war, that is what they will call the Earth.
(Adventure Time)
The world from Adventure Time. It’s heavily implied to be a post-apocalyptic earth, which is wildly mutated from the present day by an atomic war. IIRC, the stated backstory is that the land of Ooo is what remains after the Great Mushroom War. We see glimpses of the world immediately following the war, and it looks like a Fallout situation, with packs of survivors, radiation exposure, etc… And eventually, it settled into the Land of Ooo.
Don’t forget the frozen businessmen who almost ruined the world again.
Its the world that Adventure Time takes place in.
Ohhh
Ooo*
Algebraic!
mathematical!
Someday cringe will be cringe, and sick will be sick again.
Sick
That is so slay
I was playing pokemon with my 7 year old nephew and he kept saying “{x pokemon} has sick moves bro”, so maybe that time has already come. Although to be fair he also said “These noodles are on god” and then leaned over and whispered “that means really good.” So maybe he’s not exactly the best arbiter of gen alpha vernacular lol
At that age, kids are absorbing stuff from their parents still because they haven’t yet realized that their parents aren’t cool.
I wonder if that’s what keeps the whole thing at least somewhat coherent. While a generation of teenagers figures out how they will talk, the younger generation absorbs words and phrases from both their immediate seniors as well as their parents’ generation, resulting in a base that’s still close to where their parents are. Maybe without that, we’d have entire new languages every few generations.
Hmm that might even be the mechanism that causes fashion trends to repeat on a 20-30 year cycle.
Slay and Serve are very much alive in drag communities.
They’ve been around before and will stay around after. Pop culture was just borrowing it.
Hell yeah, I’ll be cool again when that gen grows up
I’m sorry, I’m on the fence. I’m all onboard calling “rizz” and “skibidi” cringe, but I’m never going to stop slaying or serving.
Especially the phrase slay queen.
What is skibidy
I watched it and I still don’t understand. Is this like the Yatta of the new generation?
I don’t care what anyone says, I’m 38 and the skibidi toilet saga is epic. I’m waiting on part 74 right now.
Sure, the first 20-ish shorts are repetitive and kinda annoying, but DaFuq!?Boom! evolved some crazy lore after that.
Like all epic things, it’s the fans who drive it into the ground.
Yeah, to be honest, I’ve never met another skibidi toilet fan offline.
I’m in my 30s and i just find it funny. It’s funny because it’s random as heck, just like dragon dream feet or free bird or engineer nope. The reason people dissing it is really just because they don’t want to be associated with kids.
It’s hilarious! As dumb as it sounds, the series is a good example of show don’t tell world building.
Please, hold on to this reality as long as you can.
An old woman on the slopes perhaps? Kewl.
Rizz was always cringe.
I think “rizzler” is pretty funny when used ironically
So close
Dear Batman,
It’s the Rizzler…
Skibidi is literally after a toilet meme, slay is old AF and I’ve never heard of serve.
Ok but now I want to know what their new words are.
I weep, for my children will know not the joys of Roflcopter
I’ve never heard of roflcopter but I rofled so hard reading that it woke my toddler up
We should really chisel all of our memes in granite and stand them up in a field so that future generations may know our genius.
