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

Luke shouldn't spend too much time in the human world. Imagine if he starts making young human friends. They think he's homeschooled at Simeon's cafe, start coming around more often to hang out, and he starts speaking like them.

Everyone thinks it's cute and good fun until he runs up to MC one day and says "hey bestie, it'd be real based if you could install some lit roblox mods that slap for me, no cap."

#simeon is like “what do i do. what do i tell raphael and michael. i cant understand him anymore.”#i spent 10 minutes on the gen z slang wikipedia page for this so i hope it passes the vibe check yeet #obey me swd #obey me #obey me!#obey me scenarios #omswd #obey me headcanon #obey me shall we date #obey me luke #omswd luke #obey me imagines

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.

While I'm not one for generational conflict cuz there's no war but the class war so to speak, I can't help but think that a "perfect millennial comedy routine" probably oughta consist of a little bit more substance than repackaged "kids use weird slang these days," along with askin to be given some common decency in accounta introducing Facebook and Instagram, plus also bein the boss.

Now folks I may just be a simple country baked salted ham, but it seems ta me that listin off four o the worst things in the world today ain't exactly any generation's idea of empathetic. Ain't a doubt in my mind we're more like than not cross put near three or four decades, jest sayin don't trust too well someone askin you to smile along while they insult ya and tell ya how ta act and they think ya oughta be quiet n grateful for a handful o garbage cuz they invented takin a shit.

But I don't know, don't listen to an old coot like me.

#i think ive seen that routine too many times i cant take it anymore its just repackaged kids these days in a shiny coat of irony #yelling at clouds #no but seriously gen z et all someone going like ooky booky and saying your slang sounds made up and weird probably isn't your friend #they're just someone two steps removed from a blue hair and pronouns joke #it doesn't matter how old or young just knowing tiktok exists doesn't make someone trustworthy

Are Mario and Luigi considered as Gen Z? I can't imagine them using any of the slang we have now.

Technically they're gen Z if the movie is set in modern day, but if so they're definitely millennials at heart.

Like... Luigi has a touchscreen phone, but given how small the screen is it looks like a pre-2012 knockoff of an iphone, and he doesn't seem to use it for much other than business calls.

Then there's Mario with his NES. Whether he plays it for nostalgia reasons, financial reasons, or a combination of both, he seems pretty content keeping it old school.

And I definitely don't see them using gen Z slang unironically, but just because they were born in a certain year doesn't mean they're "hip" with their particular age group.

Their cousin, however, might be a different story...

Major gen Alpha vibes.

#I'm hard pressed to believe that even gen z use gen z slang unironically tbh #askbox #anon #Mario #Luigi #Super Mario Bros #Super Mario Brothers #Mario Movie

I was knitting a sweater during my study hall, and one of my students asked if I was going to wear it when I was done, and I said "I dunno, I've already had to start over once, I might finish it, try it on, not like it and Frog it again"

And with actual disbelief in her eyes she cried "what? No, but it's so crisp!!!"

To which the rest of us said "crisp???"

#i am like 95% sure it wasnt new gen z slang becuase no one else knew what she meant lol #i know she was trying to say it looked good #but noone has ever called my work crispy before lmao #knitting #teaching #teacher #joy knits #text
