I think an even older generation would ut their slang in the strong soyjack section and would put yours in the stupid soyjack section.
I still say “groovy”, “hella”, and “dank”.
Wicked
Gnarly
Cool beans.
Slick
Golly!
23-skiddoo, kid
Far out, dude!
You’re swell
Bodacious!
Tubular
Righteous
Cowabunga!
Phat
Boss
The only time I still mention Groovy is when I directly afterwards mention that I like Kotlin better.
Funk and funky are still in my vocabulary.
“groovy” was already only used ironically back in the day, having much the same connotations as referring to Nirvana as a “beat combo”
As someone who grew up in the 60s and 70s, i can assure you that groovy was not used ironically back in the day. Ya dig?
I am the only person I know who uses groovy unironically other than my aunt.
no, there’s also me.
You’re a stone gas, cat.
How skibidi of you
Applesauce! This post isn’t the bee’s knees! I’m going to a blind pig to chug some giggle water to forget it!
Oh no, kids today speak as differently to us as we did to prior generations, how cringe!
Let’s go, there’s a Gammelfleischparty at the club tonight.
Look, Gen Z has some stinkers (“that’s fire,” sucks, and that’s coming from the generation that gave you, “hella,”), but their use of Chud is spectacular. A perfect encapsulation of every grubby, right-wing freak from incels to groypers. A near perfect onomatopoeia.
chud has been around a long time
Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it was used regularly as slang, or that it carried the same connotations. “Lowkey,” has been around for ages, but it wasn’t slang until the late 90s, and it isn’t even used the same way. (“Keep it lowkey,” vs., “that was lowkey brilliant.”)
I feel like it was though. Chode was maybe more common, but chud was used too. The movie followed the name afterall, not the other way around.
Your example for lowkey is using it as an adverb as opposed to an adjective. A chud has always been a noun.
It doesn’t however, offset the sin that is “foid,” calling women “female humanoids” in casual speach is dehumanizing as fuck.
But only chuds do that. We’re not listing 90s slurs up there either.
Yeah, the casual way, “f*g,” was used, even into the early 2000s, is pretty shocking in hindsight.
chud’s always been a descriptor for racist dickbags
I’m sorry, but it really wasn’t:
The term originates from the 1984 movie C.H.U.D. In the film, the acronym refers to a group of humanoid, flesh-eating monsters that were once humans, but mutated due to radioactive waste. While the word may have started pejorative use in 2003 to describe any repulsive person, its usage shifted as it became popular in the 2020s on sites such as Twitter and Reddit, after the podcast Chapo Trap House frequently used it to describe those who are ignorant or far-right.

am familiar with the movie, saw it in the theaters lol. people started calling racist dickbags chuds soon after.
What, you don’t get the resemblance?
lol. cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers
“Chud” went from “terminally online right-wing freak” to “fatass”/“overeater”.
Oh, I haven’t heard it used that was. I still see it used pretty much exclusively to mean, “right-wing dumb-ass,” but sometimes more broadly as, “online dumb-ass.”
Personally I’ve only just started seeing it used that way on telegram within the last month, seems to be a recent thing.
I mean, if it’s Telegram, then it’s probably a bunch of chuds trying to shift the meaning of, “chud,” because they’re tired of being called chuds.
Honestly my vibe as well
Foid and Goyim aren’t normal slang, they’re slurs used by fascist weirdos. -maxxing is only used by non-fascist weirdos in ironic contexts.
-maxxing is only used by non-fascist weirdos in ironic contexts.
The spelling failure tells you it’s ironic.
Excuse me, but where is “cool beans?”
Ikr? So lame!
L boomer meme
“The slang I grew up with makes logical sense. Whatever those kids are saying is just random nonsense.” -Every old fogey since the development of language
i wish we left six seven in 2025
67 is outdated old man. the new thing is 25
two fiiive!! two fiiiive!!!
6 7 6 7
Isn’t Goyim Yiddish?
A lot of modern slang started on right wing sections of 4Chan and is full of Jewish words intentionally used as code to make fun of them. EtymologyNerd on YouTube has talked about the right leaning origin of slang some
So incels that think they’re clever got ya
Fun fact. /pol/ was created the day after Epstein met moot and gave him a ride home. Q anon appeared there a couple years later with pizza gate.
Epstein was one of those elitist jews that called non jews goyim like muggles or some shit. Amazing how much worse 4chan is than every other chan. I never thought I would miss 8chan
So the Yiddish word means someone who isn’t Jewish. How is it used in those spaces?
I don’t know exactly. The things I saw from EtymologyNerd tracked more of their movement, he might have other videos diving into their use you could go look for
I confess I only know that one from Weird Al’s pop-punk hit “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi”
I would see that as a badge of honour.
NGL I like “-maxxing” because of how versatile it is.
“Whatever” is hardly slang, however.
Whatevs
You should be slangmaxxing
MaxxMAXXING
I read this as Marxmaxxing lmao
It’s the way you said that is representative of the generation. It was “what-everrrrr.” Nobody says it like that nowadays.
This post has a remarkably low amount of diggity.
Wait, wait, I’m still confused. Is diggity a good thing or not? Should I be aiming for an overwelming surplus of it, and if I should, is it really surplus, or should I be trying to expunge it from my life entirely?
You only want in the correct amount. Not enough diggity is almost as bad as too much diggity. So by diggity extension, an overwhelming amount of diggity is indeed too much diggity and thus not diggity at all.
Diggity diggity.
Hard disagree. Case-in-point: I like the way you work it, some diggity…?
It just doesn’t work. You really don’t want any diggity.
Idk. In that case some diggity isn’t enough. Hot diggity on the other hand 🤌
Thank you for your wise words regarding the correct amount of diggity. I shall endeavour to always have the correct amount of diggity in future.
Diggity is in short supply these days
Whassupmaxxing is for radical chuds
Whatever foid.
Da bomb
So basically 2026 slang is 2012 4Chan slang and is accurately reflected.
If it’s from 4chan it’s not slang because they don’t go out
tfw when you’re getting old and crabby
I’m not sorry for slangmaxxing
