A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I’ve been trying it myself and it’s pretty bussin’ bruh. I’m dripping all over the place now!
I’m an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like “swell,” “keen,” and “golly.” I’ve been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it’s slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.
Man if I had more fucking ambition or energy, you’re absolutely right and I could be so rich right now but again, I’m lazy and full of depression… but if somebody runs with this idea, can I be on the team? I need a win in my life.
Absolutely, I’m just relaying what I’ve heard in case the commenter wants to talk with some youths in their vernacular. I don’t want them to be all “holler me up my fellow kids!”
The lack of capitalization is odd too. Usually such language is made on a phone, which nearly ubiquitously automatically capitalizes new sentences. The few who turn that option off are in my experience too unhinged or unpracticed to write that coherently.
If someone blew up the toilet or smtg sus, hmu. tbh we high-key tryna glow-up this campground frfr. can’t stop won’t stop til this place straight up slays ong. need ur help fam. thx
If that’s accurate then I got old way faster than I thought I would. At least I can take solace in the fact that I’m probably on the younger end of Lemmy users.
The translation is accurate and commendable
I wouldn’t know. Because I am old and I feel it right now.

You’re a radical cat daddyo
I have, on occasion, stuck out my gyat for the daddyo
You’ve just ruined the Irish classic “whiskey in the jar” for me, thanks.
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHH OHHH NOOOOOOOOOO
Well, that’s stuck in my head now. Time to go find the Metallica cover, if they haven’t scrubbed it from the Internet.
Untubular dude. Untubular.

I’m a younger guy and…I have never heard those words referred to as slang. In fact, they sound almost formal to me.
And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?
No. They’re the same. I think the second one has become more popular. You should probably just use that. No cap.
(cap)
On God that bruh’s bussy’s straight bussin’ fr fr.
I believe you could buss’ in a bussy if you were so inclined
Look at this fuckin drip god over here
Drip god sounds like a brand of a mop or household cleaning supplies.

Ew, don’t drip on me.
Was watching Point Break again the other day and the desire to speak like a 90s surfer dude is kinda overwhelming, compadre.
i dont get it either, no cap
Fr fr ong
Your slang is bussing, fellow skibidi!
Str8 rizz.
What is HMU? The only thing that sounds right if I rack my brain, is “holler me up”, but idk I’m mentally old and can’t keep up with “hip” culture.
Almost got it! HMU stands for “hit me up”, as in contact me.
What a violent generation, jk jk
I mean, holler also means contact me so it could be that, it would just sound a little silly. Not like holla at ya boi

Hit me up. Ie. contact me.
I think it’s warning us about snakes that can kill? I don’t know…
It’s got too much punctuation though. That’s not a dig either, it really does have too much for what they’re trying for.
And missing “u” and “ur”
I would expect at least some of those acronyms to be all lowercase too tbh

YMMV though.
That was my first thought but then I realized that if I, a 30-something year old old person, understand every word of it, it’s gotta be a lil sus.
