I fully appreciate that just means I'm getting old and irrelevant

But people saying "no cap" in comments sections and the like, it's unseemly!

I still don't know what "no cap" means, apparently. I thought it meant "no caps lock" or to be without a hat.

As a fellow Scot, I agree and I feel embarrassed by these words creeping in over here.

Most of "Gen Z" slang people have been saying for a long time. Social media just popularized it to the level that they use the terms every sentence now.

Oh I'm aware. I know there is no objective qualitative difference to it. The problem here is that *I* don't get it, and that bothers me on some kind of "oh god I'm over the hill" way.

Zoomer slang is literally just incorrectly and awkwardly appropriated AAVE and it's no different from how a lot of Millennials talked when they were in their teens. What makes it completely different is how Zoomers seem to have no fucking idea (or just don't care) that it comes off as them awkwardly imitating not just Black people, but ultimately borderline racist parody Twitter accounts from years ago which are responsible for a lot of cultural tropes today.

If they did a modern remake of Malibu's Most Wanted, Zoomers and Gen Alpha would idolize the main character and think he's cool as hell.

As long as you don't actually think that it was better when you were a kid then you are fine.

I just don't like dealing with the ones who say "bruh" almost every other word. I'm not hating on the word itself, just the ones who can't get through an entire thought let alone a sentence without saying it 1 to 10 times.

My sister and her friend are those type.

Me listening to my sister and her friend after I picked them up from the store.... "Bruh, I went to the store bruh, and bought some bread bruh. Bruh, tell me why it bruh, it cost me bruh, 3 dollars bruh."

I don't really keep up with slang (never heard no cap before), but I don't see why its cringe. language changes over time, and slang is a part of why.

That's how most of the new slang is. It's old slang that caught on and got popularized on Tiktok.

Like dudes were saying "gyat damn look at her ass" over a decade ago. Now gyatt is all over social media

They say "Bruh", "dude" and "blud" because they know they can't say what they really want to say.

Cap is slang for lie. So "no cap" is the same as saying "no lie" and "that's cap" is saying "that's a lie" or "that's bullshit"

Oh man, a friend of mine tried using rizz and it was so awkward and bad. I was asking another friend if I can see his Pokmon collection and other friend goes Yea! Show us the rizz lol. I think he thought rizz meant money/expensive.

If it's the word I think you mean, while that word isn't in my vocabulary, my sister uses that word.

Me and her are black but I don't personally approve of that word. She on the other hand will use it if she's upset and wants attention.

You think general zoomer slang is bad, wait until you get into sports zoomer slangs. I've recently learned that "burger" means points in sports specifically for basketball and football.

No cap = not lying
Stop the cap = stop lying

Only reason I know what it means because youtube as of late is littered with memes referencing that "stop the cap" dude. .....at least on my feed.
