Get off my lawn!
Thanks, I hate it!
Have you had your first wave of Gen Alpha trends and slang confuse you yet?
Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"
Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.
Yoink is older than scoobie doo
Zoinks
Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole "skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat" thing.
yeah i have no idea what most of those words mean. i only know that "rizz" is a short for charisma, and that gyat means a nice ass, probably

Not a gen Z but I'm actually a fan of both of those words. It's like a forceful put or get.
It's like a forceful put or get.
Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.
YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/json
...
YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
Accept: application/json
Not the same verbs, and specific to Emacs, but I’m kind of sad cutting and pasting won over killing and yanking
Oh me too lol, use them all the time, anything that got popular past that though I need to get my little brother to translate
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't been in playschool when yeet became a thing.
*wouldn’t’ve
Well you know, I grew up in a rural, culturally lagged area, the slang didn't really catch up until tiktok
I am still in school and it confuses me already.

Frontal lobes are cool but all that white matter you grow in your 30s is where the good shit happens
Maybe just let them be?
I wasn't trying to be unkind. It's just Gen Z whose frontal lobes would be just finished developing, that's all.
