bet? no cap, that post hits different!

You think ‘bet’ is new lol..?


It used to be ‘aight, bet’ but it’s been shortened to just ‘bet’


Again, zero originality

bro ate and left no crumbs, gonna let you cook with that one but low key i definitely don't agree with gen z having zero originality

there's a never ending barrage of new slang coming out due to social media making it easier for trends to catch on, no diddy

How is bro new?

Even @Yorick the Wiser says bro and he was alive during Napoleon's time.

so judging by a lot of the replies, it looks like this is just another American cancerous thing that has made its way into my country

So either your country is at least 50 years behind the times

Or it's entirely possible that you just don't know what you're talking about.

A guy friend of mine texted me about a TV character death with "dude they killed off xxxx?" Which I found funny.

 

[Meatspin]

In my 40's and I still say dude regularly. I'm not really in a position to judge.

Can't believe it took over 50 replies for this. Smh.

Well if there is I haven’t seen it so far itt.. maybe there’s too many old fucks in here who think they’re hip..

Bro followed close behind after dude and man.

Exactly.

I'm sure boomers were like wtf when "dude" began to be used in the 80s.

The only thing more consistent than young people coming up with slang is older people thinking they're soooooo stupid.

I overheard some kids with broccoli hair at the gym called me a big n word the other day. I think I am on my way to becoming a rapper.

 

[Kardashians]

I’ve been saying bro and bruh since like, 2008? The Misc affected me in the end. But people have been saying bro for a longgg time. It’s nothing new. I’m surprised it’s still a thing actually.

Nah I think this stuff has been around for a long time, but social media has made it easier for others to lift it. Tbh I think most of it is just black slang.

you people need to touch grass

The internet tends to get its language from rap 10 years too late. In this case you're 20 years too late to the internet. I don't know how that's possible considering you created your account in 2001.
