      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.
