I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is
Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.

Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.
Kedly, As a millenial, yeet is still the greatest new word ever added, and why I personally will never be against the new generations choice of words. Fuckin Rizz is starting to appeal to me too
funkless_eck, ate it
PoolloverNathan, Rizz? Can we just send that word back to hell already?
Kedly, I mean its just a shortened form of Charisma. Cha sounds weird, and Risma sounds like the set up for a “MUH BAWLZ” Joke
Blank, Could just say charisma. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Cornucopiaofplenty, That’s not really how slang works
Kedly, Have you really never shortened a word in your life?
bitwaba, Sure, but what the hell happens to
charismatic
in this situation? Does that get shortened too, so now we’ve got people saying “Yo Zendaya is totally rizzmatic!”. Or does everyone just need to re-arrange all sentences that would usecharismatic
so that only the noun form gets used and we avoid ever having to use it as an adjective?
Kedly, (edited ) I mean, Rizzmatic sounds awesome, I’m down to hear that variation. Language is constantly in flux. It has never stayed static. Multiple variations of 1 word just means you get to pick which one you like best
PlexSheep, I didn’t know it came from Charisma. Makes sense
Kedly, I mean, I cant confirm directly where it originated from. But it’s used in the exact same way charisma is, and means basically the same thing

We say CHA in my D&D group when talking about the stat, but I’m gonna start saying rizz at the table and see how people react.
Kedly, tbf, DnD groups were where I got a lot of my exposure to the newer generations words xD
bitwaba, “Go ahead and give me a roll on a DC15 rizz check…”
RecluseRamble, Yeet and yoink are perfection.
Kedly, Especially with how you pronounce yeet, I cannot think of another English word that is as fun to say
gimpchrist, ![]()
Yeah once I learned Rizz is just charisma I wasn’t so mad
KammicRelief, My problem is, right about when a word starts to appeal to me and I’m like “oookayy I’ll start saying it,” it’s way too late.
I guess I could balance it by always appending a Dude-like “…in the parlance of our times…”
Kedly, Thats why I just start saying words Ironically immediately and then get infected into using them unironically
Notyou, This was me in high school. I even listened to boy bands ironically and then noticed I was singing them unironically.
Decoy321, That’s the thing. Once it starts appealing to you, it loses value to the original group.
It’s one of my favorite ways to fuck with my nephews and nieces.
trafficnab, “Of course I know about fork-knife and Scooby-Doo toilet”
Decoy321, Precisely. Another fun subtle thing to do is add “the” to the term. Gives it an extra sense of dismissiveness. It ain’t “TikTok”, it’s “the TikTok.”
Or better yet, “the tikkity tok.”
ArcoIris, I rizzed in with a W cap from Ohio 🎶
Kedly, F’real
loomi, That hep cat’s rizz is putting the jelly in this pawg’s roll.

greedytacothief, Rad, gnarly, sick are still widely used in skiing and snowboarding circles at least.
JDubbleu, Anything for the gnar points
starman2112, ![]()
I’ve been called out for my overuse of the word rad before lmao
peteypete420, Did I miss pog and pwn? Or are they so new I haven’t heard them yet? My coworkers are all in the same age range as me, but they are cooler also. Anyway I’m old and a couple of them have “no cap” on jackets so I can’t imagine that’s a fresh one.
JayObey711, Pog has been around for years. But up until recent it has been pretty exclusive to streaming and esports. So I amagine it’s easy to miss if you are not in that bubble. pwn is the only one on the list I’ve never heard before.
Ilovemyirishtemper, It was my understanding that pwn mean you are “owning” them in like a winning way. Like instead of Saying “I just owned you” when you win at something, you say “I just pwned you.”
Am I way off? Does it have a new meaning? I’m so far out of the loop these days.
AdamBomb, It’s an intentional misspelling of “own”. The letter p is next to o on the keyboard. I think it was meant to mimic the frantic typing of a sweaty competitive trash talker.
blind3rdeye, That’s my understanding too. And because people kind of like the sound of it, they might use it slightly more broadly than that - but not as broadly as ‘rad’ or ‘sick’ or even ‘pog’. I was there for the rise and demise of ‘pwn’, and it definitely was never as widespread as pog is now.
Lizardking27, Lmao pwn is like 20 years old.
peteypete420, No fucking way. Is it pronounced like pawn? P-W-N? Was it more of a online text thing?
mostNONheinous, It’s pronounced like Owned with a P in front. It was just a msipelli g that took off.
clickyello, I love me a good msipelli g

Not very sigma of you.
Naz, Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.
It was a misspelling of “Owned” in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.
“Player 1 was pwned.”
For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.
OldWoodFrame, Sounds like you got pwned, noob.
Naz, I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.
However, it belongs to you all now!
Be free
And get rekt :p

Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.
Psythik, Did Pure Pwnage ever pay you rolalties?
Naz, Are you kidding me? No way. You can’t trademark a word or a typo. That’s dumb.
Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage

peteypete420, Keep slayin.
JayObey711, I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.
DriftinGrifter, Find isch auch porno
hpucks, Rad
root_beer, I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it
JimVanDeventer, One way in the back should say “bees knees”.
samus12345, (edited ) ![]()
And somewhere between it and “rad,” “swell” and “far out.”
bitwaba, “sweet” should be on there somewhere after the 80s slang.
15liam20, Next to “bee’s bollocks”

“No Cap” is Black slang. It’s not done until Black People replace it with something else.
