Gen X. There were no banned words.
Lmao Emma only cannot say Tweaking.
The best way to make sure everyone is saying those words is to ban them lol
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.
Emma getting called out like that is hilarious
I can’t believe they really called out Emma like that lol
fuck you emma!
Edging
How old are these kids, I was assuming pre teen
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.
Ohio is a no no word? But that’s the name of a state?
Why is Ohio number three on this banned words list?
Always has been.

Things I remember people complaining about at various times (I don’t really recall gradeschool having any)
- overuse (or use at all) of dude
- doy
- [no] duh
- dweeb
- overuse of awesome
- various “surfer” slang (we all saw the TMNT movie)
- at some point, maybe around high school, “my bad” became a thing. I still don’t really like the phrase much.
I’m sure there are more locked somewhere in the recesses of my brain, but those are the ones that jump to mind. The internet was only really becoming a thing when I was in highschool and I lived in a very rural area for most of it so things spread much more slowly.
Sigma… ligma…
…but no sugma yet.
What does “yet” mean?
Yet: A yeti youth, not quite of age to be a full yeti.
I assume you mean yeet, which is a loose synonym of defenestrate.
No mames lol
I remember all the Mexicans in class saying that any time the teacher made us do something we all didn’t want to do lol
“ORALE NO MAMES WEY”
That’s my favorite one too. I wish this were real so bad.
