Well I don’t wanna spread only negativity asking people avout what they dislike. What words do you find funny.

Personally I like zesty, edging and the ‘are they stupid?’

SK what internet lingo do you like?

    Ever since I heard of skibidi toilet, I like calling everything a skibidi something. Go put your skibidi bike in the garage. My kids hate it.

      I’ve done this a few times as well. I still have no idea what it really is. Funny words make laugh.

        As far as I can tell “skibidi” has no actual meaning, it’s just a word that proves you’re part of the in-group.

        Before the toilet, there was Little Big Skibidi

        This will probably actually make it more confusing, but it’s still worth it, and it’s a Brazillion times better than skibidi toilet could ever dream…

    I like the word “yeet”. It gives me this mental image of someone chucking out something without any regard or care, like for example: “Even if we yeet the implications of such a statement out of the way, it still is not a good statement to come from the mouth of a head of state in such a meeting.” Or: “Don’t just yeet your clothes after taking them off, the hamper is there for a reason!” Or even: “Someone yote their banana peel and this guy slipped on it.”

      I’ve heard that “YEET!” is for power, but “KOBE!” is for accuracy.

        Oh, yeah!!

        We can say “Yoink that thing and yeet it out of here,” and even if the person doesn’t know what ‘yoink’ nor ‘yeet’ is, they can probably guess what you want them to do just from the sound “feels” alone.

      Is the past tense of yeet yote or yeeted? I like yote better, personally.

        “Yeeted” before words that start with a vowel or an “h”.

        “Yote” before words that start with everything else.

        I prefer “yote”, but I wasn’t even thinking it’s the past tense, funny enough. I think what I had in mind earlier is “yote = had yeeted” but upon thinking more about it, it doesn’t make any sense.

        “Yeeted” seems to be becoming more common than “yote” tho, but it isn’t too bad.

    I’m a big fan of -ussy as a suffix, especially when it’s wildly unsuitable for the purpose

    It’s utterly ruined ales describing themselves as “citrussy”

      To be honest, “citrussy” just means “We’re not very good at making beer yet so we just chucked hops at it until it was drinkable and called it craft”

        It’s a handy way to know what to avoid.

        But why don’t pubs seem to know that? Most pubs these days hav become lemon parties.

          I didn’t know what you meant by ‘lemon party’ so I looked it up… I don’t know what kind of pubs you’re frequenting, but have at it!

    Ever since the edgerunners anime I’ve kinda wanted choom and gonk to turn into real slang

      Not sure if it’s still the case but when it first came out, it was really obvious they used an automated process for generating the subtitles and didn’t bother to check their work. The part where Rebecca calls David a stupid gonk gets subbed as a derogatory word.

    “based”, because it’s based. I feel a sort of badassery when I hear the way it’s pronounced

        In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn’t be praised in situations where it would be humorous.

          I thought it had more of a ‘doing your own thing’ vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.

      I wish I liked “based” but more often than not when I hear it on the internet it’s because someone said a slur or something bigoted.

    “Cooked” was part of my (and the rest of my country’s) vocabulary for decades before it became a zoomer meme thing, does that count

    “It’s so over” or “joever”. Because yeah, it has never been so joever.

    Also fanum taxing. It’s just funny sounding and I can’t figure out what it means.
