Which is why I call everyone "bro."

I'm a 37 year old woman.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I call everyone baby. Young? Baby. Old? Baby. Man, woman, black, white, purple with green polka dots? "What's up, baby? How are you?" I'm a middle aged white guy.

There's a 60-odd year old black guy that comes to one of the bars I frequent. I always greet him with "What's up, baby?" He always says "Same old, baby, how you doin'?" I have no idea how that became normal because it feels so weird explaining it but it feels super normal saying it.

Ever get in trouble for it with someone who doesn’t know it’s your signature, baybeeeee

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Nope. It may be because of the tone. I don't do an Austin Powers thing. I say it the same way I'd say buddy or friend.

Thinking harder about it, generally if I'm meeting someone for the first time I use their name because I'm trying to get the hamster that runs the wheel in my brain to put their name somewhere I'll remember it. By the time we've interacted a while it's very likely they've seen me say it to half a dozen of my friends.

I gave someone some somewhat joking advice to use "dogs" as a gender neutral alternative to "guys". I ended up trying it just for fun and it stuck.

Koo

My dad started texting koo in the mid 00s, meaning "cool"

It wasn't koo then and isn't koo now but I use it almost daily.

I don't know if it even really counts as slang, but this happened to me and some buddies I played Rocket League with. Some guy kept spamming "Siiiick" in the quick chat for the littlest things, so we'd spam it back 3x as hard. Long story short, we still use it now like 7 or 8 years later.

I'll say "What a save!" when my group screws up or loses because you can take me out of rocket league but you can't take rocket league out of me.

Yeet has grown on me. Side note, is "af" dated? I really liked that one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Don't worry about your slag being dated, embrace it! Who cares that yeet is cringe af fam?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (5 children)

"Yeet" is still in my slang. As is "af". I also use "Dope" and "Sick" a lot to mean cool. I also use "hella"

No one uses much 1930s and 1940s Hep Cat slang anymore and that's a real shame because Cab Calloway went out of his way to promote it.

Sure, people still use "salty" to mean angry about something, but when was the last time you heard someone "creeping out like the shadow?"

I refuse to succumb to "yeet." Is it still around much?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's just a synonym for throwing something now

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Throwing suddenly and imprecisely. You wouldn't call a baseball pitch a yeet.
