Wake me up when dope and rad re-enter the lexicon.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I am, much to my wife's dismay.

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been here the whole time.

I also really like rad.

When I was in 6th grade I was fucking cringe, little fucks these days acting like they ain't.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 57 points 5 months ago (7 children)

When I was in 6th grade all the cool kids had band names in White-Out on their backpacks. I'd only ever listened to my parents' music so I was clueless. One day I went home and put all the bands on my backpack I could remember. First thing the next day, I'm pressed to name a single Korn song and I failed.

6th grade was hell.

Ya, they cringe AF

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 133 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Slay and serve are part of the drag/queer community lexicon that were made popular (iirc) in the NY ballroom scene. No one cares when 6th graders use them or if they stop.

If you watch queer media or hang out with The Gays, you’ll hear them all the time. They’re a bit campy, but not cringe.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 58 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Only because 11 year olds aren't familiar with serving cunt yet

drag/queer community … NY ballroom scene

Might explain why I didn’t know “serve”

Thanks :)

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There's an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.

But the most important part of the best meme ever is ROFL

Turn that link into an embed with ![description](link) (the exclamation mark makes it an embed, rather than a hyperlink. The description isn't technically necessary for the embed to work visually but may aid screen readers.).

Slay and Serve are very much alive in drag communities.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 63 points 5 months ago

They've been around before and will stay around after. Pop culture was just borrowing it.

I think "rizzler" is pretty funny when used ironically

Oh good. Always thought rizz was stupid because it sounds too close to jizz.

I'm sorry, I'm on the fence. I'm all onboard calling "rizz" and "skibidi" cringe, but I'm never going to stop slaying or serving.
