    Gen Z/Alpha is fine… except for this shit. Talk like a fucking human, for fuck’s sake.

        I don’t have a lawn. Both, because I’m thankfully not American, but also because millenials don’t get to buy houses.

        Slang was words repurposed in meaning. Had been for thousands of years. The fuck is a “delulu”? The fuck is a “gyatt”? This is a symptom of terminal online-ness, like kids addressing groups as “chat”.

          i don’t think you’re defining that correctly. Isn’t slang literally just defined at it’s most simplistic as “terms used in non formal communication, that are understood between a group of people, due to collective contextual understanding.”

          I.E. workplace lingo would also be a form of slang.
