they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all
How is rizz not new? I’ve never seen it until tiktok.
I’ve heard it plenty, california
What year did you first start hearing the word rizz?
Where do you think tiktok slang comes from? It’s just popular slang someone uses in a comment that middleschool kids who are from different areas, that have never heard it before parrot, because they literally just copy popular comments bar for bar hoping to get likes
They already are, as people on here know them. Also “cooking” just seems to be shorthand for “cooking with gas”, with the same connotations and meaning, and boomers are definitely saying that.

Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000’s you’ve never heard of but what everyone in my generation would’ve been constantly using.
Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren’t.
Chillax n00b, cuz 2000’s slang is awesomesauce, biatch!
you want some amazeballs with that awesomesauce? #winning
So bomb. True that. Dope. 1337
Cooking is not new slang. That shit goes back decades.
Yup
Phrase what’s cooking? “what’s up, what’s going on” is attested by 1942. To cook with gas “do well, act or think correctly” is 1930s jive talk.
The expression “NOW YOU’RE COOKING WITH GAS” has bobbed up again — this time as a front page streamer on the Roper Ranger, and as the banner line in the current advertising series of the Nashville (Tenn.) Gas and Heating Company, cleverly tying gas cooking to local food products and restaurants. “Now you’re cooking with gas” literally took the gas industry by the ears around December 1939 — Remember? — when it flashed forth in brilliant repartee from the radio programs of the Maxwell Coffee Hour, Jack Benny, Chase and Sanborn, Johnson Wax, Bob Hope and sundry others. [American Gas Association Monthly, vol. xxiii, 1941
That would be rad…
Totally gnarly
Grouse!
Foshizzle
Forsooth.
NOT.
Based has been around forever, it’s not some new slang.
forever
Maybe like 10 years? That seem about right?
Some searching seems to suggest that “Lil B” started the words come back around 2010
Lil B in quotes like he’s a massively obscure figure from the past. The years really don’t stop coming.
Never heard of him.
¯\(ツ)/¯
“cooking” in the context of doing something well has been around for a long time. Think, “now you’re cooking!” Or the less common “now you’re cooking with gas!”
I think it’s just in more frequent use currently. It will be interesting to see if people stop using it after it goes out of fashion with the youth.
Let him cook
Language is freaking fascinating.
Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.
Well I think it’s nifty.
Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.
Marvy fab yo
Psssh, next you’ll tell me people aren’t saying “hail to the king, baby”?
Dude, that’s totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s
Can’t speak for anywhere but where I’ve lived, but I’ve heard groovy on the US west coast pretty recently, though not regularly. There was a niche little clique of geeks out in east Texas that’d say it pretty regularly some years ago though. Hippie activist/tabletop enthusiast type vibe, that group. Good people. Groovy, even.
That mighta been me
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like “epic fail” anymore
At least epic and fail are actual words.
And their grandkids will ask “based on what?”
And then you hit em with the “BASED ON DEEZ NUTS”
Yo dawg, that would be like totally tubular unless the geezers spaz out like lamo rents gettin all agro after gettin to tha crib and finding all da homies having a jammy jam in the hizzie. Ya feel me, cuz?
Totally tubular, dude! That’s like, the raddest thing ever, and I’m stoked to be part of it. It’s got that gnarly vibe that makes you wanna bust a move and just hang loose. You’re on point, and it’s all that and a bag of chips. Keep it up, ‘cause you’re totally on the money!
What does lamo mean? I understood the rest, and yes, my back hurts.
Misspelled “lame-o” is my guess. Though my spelling of it is a guess as well.
Misspelled? Letters used to cost money, you know. 160 chars/msg.bst to shrten evrything
Word up, homie.
C’mon Gen Z. You can’t have “tubular”. That’s clearly an 80s term, and thus belongs to the millenials. Same thing with “crib” and the 90s.
“Cuz” was early 2000s. I don’t know who that one falls to. All I know is I was about 18 before I heard it. So, basically on my last legs as far as being able to claim slang to my generation.
Geezers isn’t even my generation, or Gen X. It’s either the Boomers, The Greatest Generation, or The Silent Generation. Really pulling slang out by the roots on that one. What’s next? Are we going to take a trip to the Piggly Wiggly?
Greatest generation is dead dude. Ok maybe a few are around but like, they’re 100+
…ok? Does them being dead today negate the slang they created when they were alive?
Or are you claiming old slang gets put in the free for all bin, for any generation can adopt as their own?
Because I wouldn’t mind picking up “bees knees” when that becomes available.
I’m 40 and I understand most of that, yup it’s old person speak.
Nurse! I vibe coded in my pants again
Gyatt so Ohio, on god.
I’ll be ambling through nursing home hallways in a threadbare robe on the way to the ol’ skibidi while some orderlies with multicolor levitating hair make modem noises at each other.
That’ll just be the microplastic poisoning setting in though.
You had me in the last sentence… sadly
