        Much to do is always made of the kids personally I’m undecided. I have a feeling that they might go hard left after the formative experiences are Christmas being ruined by the right winger in the White House

          At the moment all the young people entering politics had their formative experiences be the Biden administration and the men at least are very right wing

          Percentage of young men is increasingly right wing, unfortunately. Economy/costs is usually not the driver for the young, it’s community, perceptions of confidence and strength, and attitude towards sex (once old enough, but much younger now than it used to be [in the US]).

      And best way to make them stop being used, is using them completely wrong and with the “i am hip with the teens” attitude

        This works so very well. Turn them from fun to cringe with one irritating parent move.

        I threatened to get a Sigma Dad tshirt and wear it to my son’s school. He’s since stopped with all the sigma stuff.

          This reminds me of how John Oliver kept finding a way to work “on fleek” into his segments until it was declared no longer cool.

          I do this as well. Killed “bruh” in a weekend. The t-shirt idea is next level, though. Kudos.

        It’s a slippery slope between saying something ironically and having it become part of your lexicon.

        If you’re 30+ it’s your duty to destroy their words, just like the older generation did to our words, we will in turn kill these words untill only the true cool words remain, that is the way the universe purges itself of cringe.

        Some of this was Gen Z slang. Like ROFLcopter. Early Gen Z was part of the stuff like Gay Luigi, the troll song, nyan cat, yeeee, rick rolling, swag, 360 no scope mlg, etc

      Anything that gets a rise out of your parents is going to be repeated on a loop whether or not you understand the context.

      I remember saying “Pimp” in front of a friend’s parent. She chewed me out over it, while my friend’s younger sister listened in. She then proceeded to say “Pimp! Pimp! Pimp!” all the way home.

      I was not invited back to that house for a month, which I think is a bit unfair.

    Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.

    Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.

    • Wait until you learn how seriously law enforcement took street gangs.

      The whole Saints Row series was based on the dichotomy between incorrigible feral teens, a product of hands-off parenting while simultaneously running an international drug and crime syndicate

      Of note is the property of ur-fascism the enemy [of the movement] is simultaneously strong and weak

    There was a shirt, it was Mario + Mushroom = Big Mario. Our administration thought this was a drug reference. Some nerdy kid would wear the shirt and about half way through the day they would be wearing it inside out.

    Ohio is a no no word? But that’s the name of a state?

    Why is Ohio number three on this banned words list?
