Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out!#most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!!#habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up

Hazel, who grew up in the 1940s and Jason who had no access to a phone and lived in Camp Jupiter his entire life.

They both do not understand meme culture one bit.

Piper: omg hazel you ate and left not a single crumb.

Hazel: I... I'm not eating anything?

Leo, making tacos: girl dinner, girl dinner

Jason: we're both boys?

Percy: no but i was literally serving in that toga.

Hazel: stop.

In a modern day world Cuphead would definitely use slang like this and Bendy would hate him. Rightfully so.

also small doodle if you need an accurate representation.

To recap the Loki series- the writers fed us, Owen Wilson served, Natalie Holt ate, and Tom Hiddleston looked delicious.

I introduced my mom and her sisters to the phrase serving cunt during a conversation about the word vagina and they’ve been really excited about figuring out how to use it. The memory of my aunt walking into the kitchen and announcing “I’m a Supercunt!” after fixing the shower curtain rings will be forever burned into my mind
