I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is
Is “no cap” next? I’m like way old.
EdibleFriend, 
Pwn should be a few steps back
Ottomateeverything, Glad I’m not the only one… The hell is it doing after epic?
remotedev, Should be “let’s go” then “no cap”
altima_neo, 
Epic for the win
somethingsnappy, Pwn, pwned was so specific to gaming it shouldn’t even be on the list.
fushuan, And pog is specific to twitch in the gaming sphere, so the same logic would apply.
somethingsnappy, Not to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but gnarly was at least a decade before rad. Also, epic is nearly 2 decades later.
Risk, Cool.

blackluster117, 
I don’t see the “delete someone else’s comment” button anywhere.
ObviouslyNotBanana, Only appears on comments that aren’t flawless.
Zozano, 
I’m old enough to experience slang which isn’t native to my generation. But let me just say, this current generations slang is the shittest in a long time.
Previous gen slang (fam, lit, yeet) was a 6/10
Current gen slang (frfr, no cap, rizz) is 2/10
Next gen has such a low bar to beat, it’ll be hard for them to fuck this up.
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
Maven, 
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
gimpchrist, 
… I can’t tell if you’re serious or joking but since it’s Lemmy I want to think you’re serious and that’s pretty fucking cool if it is, bud
Naz, Hello fellow pog, it is me, your ancestor :>
gimpchrist, I mean I am like 37 so you’re probably more like my brother haha
bitwaba, Yeah,
pwnwas way beforeepic
MintyAnt, ITS HIM! GET HIM!!!
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
charismaticin 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 usecharismaticso 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
snowsuit2654, 
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.
Kolanaki, 
I still use rad and gnarly. Because those words are rad and gnarly.
pancakes, 
I see this as an epic win
bstix, That’s some wicked illness for real.
pancakes, fr fr ong
altima_neo, That’s pretty tubular of you
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
ThePJN, 
Gabu, Aaah, that’s hot
esc27, Flameo
bob_lemon, My hotman
match, 
pog was also popular in the 90s tho
fidodo, Remember pog? It’s back!
blackluster117, In POG form!
sirico, 
but now it’s Alf, remember Alf?
samus12345, 
I’m actually glad that the zeitgest doesn’t really remember Alf.
jawa21, 
You knew things had gotten serious when the metal slammers came into play.
waz, I’m a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old “pogs”. Damn what a weird fad.
TheMightyCanuck, 
Still use gnarly. Get fucked, I’m never giving it up. Over my dead body
DiploRaucous, Sick, dude.
TheMightyCanuck, Totally righteous 🤙
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
Maggoty, Oh I still have POGs around somewhere. Middle aged Americans can kill this quickly…
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot, Alf Pogs?
femboy_bird, Pog is like 3 years outa date we chillin with skibidi rizz rn
TomAwsm, I like your funny words, magic man
papalonian, Right now, “huge” is popping up a lot.
gmtom, Big if true
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”
Hossenfeffer, 
… and dog’s bollocks.
Mr_Dr_Oink, Whats the timeline on these? I feel like pwn win and epic all happened at the same time. Also i dont see leet or '1337"
samus12345, “Rad” and “gnarly,” too.
OldWoodFrame, I mean people didn’t entirely stop using them but those seem like 90’s terms to me.
samus12345, They are, 80s and 90s. I mean that they happened around the same time.
tiredofsametab, Bully!
Tar_alcaran, Capital, old chap
