I’m Australian, I’ve been calling things sus since the 90s.
Same, it was just a happy accident that our slang made it mainstream I guess.
I’ll be keeping “AF”, thank you very much
They’re trying to change that to ASF 🙄
Mmm, no, rejected. AF is clean
Wtf is the s?
Literally the word “as”
Wt(a)f do they want from our slang?
“That’s fire” has an Urban Dictionary entry from 2007.
I had this conversation with one of my kids recently:
Her: “This thing is gas!”
Me: “Gas? Why are you talking like your grandpa in 1965?”
Her: " What are you yapping about? They don’t know what ‘gas’ means!"
Me: "You wanna bet? Ain’t you ever heard that Rolling Stones song? Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas…?’
Her: “Bruh…”
Me: “Don’t shoot the messenger.”
Me looking at this meme nearing 40…“pretty sure we used sus and fire as teenagers”.
Then again I didn’t grow up in USA and we had different “hip” words.
That’s fire was definitely a millennial thing, possibly Gen X.
OP is just that hip.
“Fire” goes back to at least the early 90s, when I was in highschool.
Gen X here. Whatever…
My wife and I (both Xers) have started frequently trolling our son with “stop the cap!” when he’s being… economical with the truth. Somehow that level of low-grade, passive-aggressive sarcasm seems very fitting to our generation.
Nevermind
I feel like fire was ours unless it’s just been a localized slang. I feel like I’ve been saying it for like 10 years, maybe more. Maybe I just got the ole dementia.
Yeah, that’s one that I think just never totally went away but has had a resurgence
fire and sus have been around for ages but gen z can have the lack of caps.
Millennials reading this post
I’ve heard fire my whole life but I’m calling cap on sus being as popular or common for so long
fire has always been a weed strength measurement… fire being the most best…
See also: mixtapes
so white gen z is just claiming all the black stuff from the 90’s?
i guess it’s par for the course…I think every generation has claimed fire mixtapes.
I was using sus as a kid 30 years ago. I’m quite confused by how it’s apparently a gen Z thing
Among Us
Heard sus my whole life in Aus, we shorten everything.
Hey good to see your instance updated lol
No cap, fr fr
For some reason “fr” is so frustrating. I am such a boomer :/
I’d like to upset some niblings with “fr fr, ong”… Does anyone know if “fr” is pronounced as one word like in “from”, or if I’m supposed to just say “eff arr”? Same for “ong,” please.
I always thought it was like an abbreviation for “for real”
My favorite part of growing older is misusing slang to pain The Youths™
skibidi morning to you fellow gyamer
Yeah that’s pretty yeet
Yeah that’s all rizzed up
I swear down you finna cap that bruh
I was particularly surprised at how quickly millennial sayings aged.
Which, um… which ones are we not supposed to be saying anymore…? Asking for a friend…
Calling things ‘retarded’ in both a good or bad way. Calling bad or annoying things ‘gay’. Adding izzle to the end of words.
One of these things is not like the otherizzle.
Que es El dilly-yo?
I remember being in complete shock sometime in the late 90s when millenial high schoolers went around calling everything gay. Like mouth dropped open the first time I encountered it.
My observation as a Xillenial:
Millenials tended to have negative-meaning slang. It’s like the generation expressed its angst.
Zoomers tend to have positive-meaning slang. This generation does not try to follow the Boomer dream and focuses its energy elsewhere.
###I mean, ngl, sus fr fr, no cap
These arent meant to be spoken out loud anyway.
My day, never came, I am old and without prime
If I’m forced to say it to fit in, it’s your fault.
Omg I am old lol
