I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.
The actor was 29 in season 1.
I went to high school with a guy that looked like him at 16.
It was unfortunate unless someone needed to get alcohol for a party.
Why would you do this? 😞
Sorry I had to look for myself… we old
He was also considered fat. Now that’s normal.
This is always upsetting.
Same for rewatching iasip. I think they’re late 20s when it started.
I don’t like this game
I like to mix and match to annoy my younger brother. Example, “fr fr, no skibidy, on cap”.
I’m pretty sure skibidi isn’t even used except to annoy the youngins lol
Reminds me of skatman john I wonder if it’s a reference Frfr
Omg I am old lol
Can someone also explain ‘go brrr’, cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can’t be right…
It can also be a reference to the A-10 close air support fighter, whose main gun is notable for emitting a very loud brrrrrrrt sound.
It’s from a meme, “Money printer go brrrr”
which was I think a spin off of the “It prints money!” meme for the original Wii(Edit: did some research and I think they’re unrelated.) Its the sound of the machine, printing money, it go brrr.I’ve seen it used for all kinds of things, but “go brrr” is basically a dismissive way of talking about how “winning” something is.
Edit: I think Picard Manuever explains it better actually, and while I don’t think my usage note is untrue from how I’ve seen the meme used in evolutions, I’d have to agree that it originally and usually takes the form they described.
It’s just the sound of some machine running, but the meme is usually something along the lines of:
“You can’t do X, you have to do Y!”
“X goes brrrr”
The humor is in stubbornly doing something in a dumb way.
It’s the sound of the A-10 Warthog’s main gun. It became a meme over a couple decades of war. “If brute force isn’t working, you’re not using enough of it,” kind of captures the gleeful power and arrogance.
No I’m pretty sure that’s right
The US government printed a lot of money after the 2008 financial crisis. Some people criticised this, saying it would devalue the US Dollar. But the government went ahead with the plan, resulting in a meme where critics bring up a lot of arguments and Obama (?) says ‘haha money printer go brr’.
It’s generally finding amusement in something doing what it’s supposed to do in a straight forward and effective manner, in contrast with an alternative overly complex method.
Pretty sure it’s supposed to be the sound of a machine running. Most popular example I can think of is “haha money printer go brrr”.
###I mean, ngl, sus fr fr, no cap
Do any self respecting millenials say those things?
I say “that’s fire”. But I also say “that’s sex”, which I don’t hear from anyone else. Idk why I just feel like when something is really awesome I like to liken it to sex.
Me and my ex husband use “teh sex” (sic) to mean something is beautiful and designed exceptionally well.
Can’t help but picture the other one responding with “siiic” when “the sex” comment is made. 😜
I… use sus all the time at 38… but I’m a gamer, and it’s kinda gaming slang.
That’s because gamer slang is made up of whatever shit kids are saying
Gamer slang is made up of whatever gamers are saying
Gamers are made up of whatever gamers are saying.
“That’s fire” has an Urban Dictionary entry from 2007.
Yeah, that one was ours.
Filthy little hobbitses always stealing, always thieving, trying to take away our precious
My dad is in his 50s and has being using fire as an adjective for as long as I can remember
No cap?
I’m straight bussin
Straight bussin that bussy, amirite?
Frfr
I don’t know what it means either. I’ve heard the other two in casual conversation, but “no cap” is completely new to me.
in this specific context it means bullshit, like “no bullshit,” but it can’t be used literally any other way because “to cap” someone means killing them
Ong ghawd bruh
Completely hatless.
I repeat, hatless
what does ong mean?
On Guard!
They’re trying to bring back dueling with swords.
Yeeeaaaa, but then my joke wouldn’t have worked. Lol
“On God”. I think it’s short for “I swear on God.”, similar to “I swear on my mum’s life.”. It’s an emphasis that you are telling the truth.
I always thought it was just a misspelling of OMG. LOL
Saaaame.
I was kinda hoping the atheists won and it was finally “Oh no god”
I had this conversation with one of my kids recently:
Her: “This thing is gas!”
Me: “Gas? Why are you talking like your grandpa in 1965?”
Her: " What are you yapping about? They don’t know what ‘gas’ means!"
Me: "You wanna bet? Ain’t you ever heard that Rolling Stones song? Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas…?’
Her: “Bruh…”
Me: “Don’t shoot the messenger.”
Me looking at this meme nearing 40…“pretty sure we used sus and fire as teenagers”.
Then again I didn’t grow up in USA and we had different “hip” words.
That’s fire was definitely a millennial thing, possibly Gen X.
OP is just that hip.
“Fire” goes back to at least the early 90s, when I was in highschool.
It’s amazing watching young adults discover that their new fad is a rehash of concepts that are decades old.
You mean bellbottoms and “cottage core” aren’t new & edgy? D’oh.
In the 90s, when everyone started using the word fat/phat, I found out from an article that it’s usage that way could be traced back to 1920s jazz musicians. Everything old is new again.
I always thought the word “ginormous” (a portmanteau of gigantic and enormous) was totally modern, but then I read a book published in 1943 by a Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot which had “ginormous” in its glossary section.
I’m approaching 40 rapidly, I can’t say “based” without cringing.
Based comment? lol
I’m almost 37 and dunno what based, rule, or no cap mean. They all make me cringe though.
I’ve found that if I don’t say those things and just treat younger people with respect then I don’t get made fun of for being old so much.
46 here. It irritates me for reasons I can’t explain.
I can. We’re old and it’s new.
I’m old and don’t mind it. I absolutely hate “yeet,” though.
That’s a millennialism.
I could swear “based” has been around about as long.
Well these things always have their roots in the past and get re-appropriated from other uses, but I don’t recall seeing the term before 2 - 3 years ago.
Based.
Based God, Li’l B is 34, so don’t feel bad
Wait, it’s named after a guy!?!
Yo give me my walking cane, I’m out of this game.
TIL lol

I’m not making this up.
You’re not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.
No, no. This was Li’l B’s blueprint from the outset. Li’l B has bitches and sex every day. That’s how he became BasedGod. It’s like One Punch Man.
I’m using it ironically so it’s OK
That’s how it subtley becomes part of your vocabulary without your knowledge.

I’ll be keeping “AF”, thank you very much
They’re trying to change that to ASF 🙄
Mmm, no, rejected. AF is clean
Wtf is the s?
Literally the word “as”
Wt(a)f do they want from our slang?
It’s all predominantly young kids adopting/appropriating American Black vernacular and calling it their own. Millennials did it, genz does it. Go ahead and down vote me, my back hurts.
See people say this like it’s Black vernacular but dont recognize that it’s just urban vernacular. Urban vernacular changes frequently because there’s more people around. The internet adopts it quickly, and it spreads from there, as the actual initial definition of a memetic concept.
There’s a reason society as a whole doesn’t co-opt rural Black vernacular, and it’s because it isn’t actually racially-based.
Exactly. I just had this argument with a couple of friends who were raised rich white kids, in the rich white neighborhood. They were criticizing me for appropriating black vernacular, and wouldn’t believe me that my entire neighborhood and school spoke that way. It’s inter-urban (poor) slang, not specifically black. Most of my neighborhood was Mexican, yet they all used these terms. Granted, they have different inflections on the words, but the vocabulary is pretty much the same. Anyways, now I have friends accusing me of racism for speaking the way I’ve spoken my entire life. I just hadn’t loosened up enough to speak that way around them before. Ain’t identity politics grand?
I find it charming in a way. Urban vernacular becoming the lingo of even contemporary rich kids.
Then again, I just said I found something charming, so maybe I’m out of touch.
I think you’ll find it’s the children who are wrong
There’s MLE (multicultural London English) in the UK. Must be similar all over.
