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
fire and sus have been around for ages but gen z can have the lack of caps.
I’ve heard fire my whole life but I’m calling cap on sus being as popular or common for so long
I was using sus as a kid 30 years ago. I’m quite confused by how it’s apparently a gen Z thing
Among Us
fire has always been a weed strength measurement… fire being the most best…
See also: mixtapes
so white gen z is just claiming all the black stuff from the 90’s?
i guess it’s par for the course…I think every generation has claimed fire mixtapes.
back in the 1920’s, mixtapes were rolls of paper for player pianos…
they called them “fire mixtapes” because you could use them to start a fire…
That’s fire 🔥
Heard sus my whole life in Aus, we shorten everything.
Hey good to see your instance updated lol
Yeah, I’d never heard “no cap”, but the other two almost feel old at this point.
Millennials reading this post
Gen X here. Whatever…
My wife and I (both Xers) have started frequently trolling our son with “stop the cap!” when he’s being… economical with the truth. Somehow that level of low-grade, passive-aggressive sarcasm seems very fitting to our generation.
Nevermind
Can someone also explain ‘go brrr’, cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can’t be 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.
No I’m pretty sure that’s right
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”.
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 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.
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 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.
I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.
This is always upsetting.
Same for rewatching iasip. I think they’re late 20s when it started.
I don’t like this game
The actor was 29 in season 1.
He was also considered fat. Now that’s normal.
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
I was particularly surprised at how quickly millennial sayings aged.
These arent meant to be spoken out loud anyway.
I’ll be keeping “AF”, thank you very much
They’re trying to change that to ASF 🙄
Wtf is the s?
Literally the word “as”
Wt(a)f do they want from our slang?
Mmm, no, rejected. AF is clean

I use these terms sometimes, but I’m 26, I don’t feel old enough to be a millennial but not young enough to be Gen Z. I’m in college now though and I’m older than all my classmates and that makes me feel old as shit.
Zillenial gang
Hello fellow transitional generation member.
This meme is pretty sus tbh.
No cap, fr fr
I’d like to upset some niblings with “fr fr, ong”… Does anyone know if “fr” is pronounced as one word like in “from”, or if I’m supposed to just say “eff arr”? Same for “ong,” please.
I always thought it was like an abbreviation for “for real”
For some reason “fr” is so frustrating. I am such a boomer :/
My favorite part of growing older is misusing slang to pain The Youths™
I swear down you finna cap that bruh
skibidi morning to you fellow gyamer
Growing up, I thought adults were out of touch. Now I realize that kids just take some things way too seriously and it’s hilarious to exploit.
Right? It’s one of the better parts of growing older
Yeah that’s pretty yeet
Yeah that’s all rizzed up
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.”
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.
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.
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.
