It took me a while to realize this wasn’t a lookup table
Me too. Felt old before realizing it wasn’t a lookup table and then felt older after realizing it was a simple list.
My school district is WAY smarter than this, all the teachers and staff just start saying the words more than the kids do until they think it’s corny.
I am almost 28 and use way more gen z/alpha slang than my 21 year old sister does. It becomes your permanent lexicon after a while and you keep using the words no matter how outdated they are. I say yeet at least once a day still.
I can imagine that working, actually.
As a teacher, I can attest that it works beautifully.
“Ill bless you Youngins🥷 with the Rizz🔥 your gonna need for the low 🔑test on Monday, no cap 🧢💯!!!”
That’s out of pocket!
Students, I’m a total baka hentai amirite?
Guys??
On god you raw dogged the whole squad with that one cuh
It’s such a bizarre list too.
They’re not cusses. What’s wrong with “love that for you”? I could’ve easily seen myself saying that in 2009, is the meaning vastly different than what I think?
Bless your heart
It’s passive aggressive
Spent my whole High School career being passive aggressive, because swearing was the bridge too far.
If you can’t even be passive aggressive you may as well never leave your front door.
How is being upfront about your feelings, worse than hiding them with snide comments? Passive aggression is a tool for funny people and people who are afraid of confrontation.
I never made the rules. No swearing in school was always the rule.
Seems absolutely nutty to ban “love that for you” but apparently fuck is fine? No swearing is not up there.
That’s a fair point
Bruh, on God I’m not even gonna cap - you’re being such a sigma male with that low key bussin mood, but say less about the rizz because you’re doing too much with that type shit. Gucci fit, and I love that for you, but it’s giving major gyatt energy, so no cap, that’s high key straight fire, baka!
Bet
So “on God” means like “on God’s authority” or “for reals”?
It’s short for “I swear on god”
Even using “on” like that is a young zoomer thing I think.
I hear “on accident” a lot and it wasn’t a thing back in the day.
Demerits for misuse of “say less” and “baka”. Other than that, high marks!
“Say less” is etymologically tied to “say no more”. It is possible that I am wrong about “baka”, because I’m an otaku, but I presume they’re using it in the anime way, and not just completely divorcing it from its actual meaning. I might be giving them to much credit.
Doest baka more or less just mean “idiot\stupud”?
Yep
Then it looks like his statement makes total cringe sense.
You know what, you’re right, the preceding sentence is supposed to be critical of the listener, so they are actually misusing “straight fire”, which would imply something good.
hastily scribbles fetch on the board
Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Can we get a date on this? I don’t see skibidi or sus. And I’m most surprised to see the youths embracing finna
Skibidi isn’t on the list because no one unironically says skibidi. If you think they are, they’re trolling you.
I didn’t think unironic usage was a prereq for this list, just overuse/disruptive to a classroom
Not a prereq for the list, but a factor which explains why people aren’t overusing it in the first place lmao.
Based on my experience in the NE U.S., this list is current.
You doin too much
Love that for you
Why?
Also, you can’t stop language from changing. Change is certain. We don’t talk like people 100 years ago and that’s a good thing.
Those are phrases that get repeated verbatim as responses, which is the hypothetical reason they might be included on this (maaaaybe fake?) list. I’m actually slightly tired of them too, I have a couple students that really overuse them as responses to everything.
…Though I’d never be dumb enough to tell them that.Love that for you
Yeah, they forgot to put “on my soul” on the list, though the kids at my school are all illiterate, so they just parrot it as “oh my SO”.
Every. Five. Seconds.
The correct solution here is to just use these back at them at every opportunity. I feed on the cringe every time they say they didn’t do something and I get the privilege to respond, flatly and with enunciation: “Cap.”
My guess is they are used sarcastically/ironically and whoever made the board is sick of hearing them.
If my kid ever comes home from school with a picture like this I’m having words with the teacher. Let the children have their fun ffs
The principal is getting a 3 hour tense but polite discussion on prescriptivism vs descriptivism and he’s going to be defending descriptivism whether he likes it or nor and he’s going to lose the entire while being simply unable to hangup. This will never happen again.
I hate finna more than all the others.

Yesssss it’s language Jones!
Finna has come back?
It’s never gone away!
On my list …
Um
Like
Perfect
Know what I mean?
End of the day.

Why you gotta hate on Ernest like that?
Who?
Ernest P. Worrell, of course!

Jim Varney’s character — with “knowwhatImean, Vern?” as his catchphrase — was so successful that he went from doing cheap commercials for local TV to become a legitimate movie star.
Kids are gonna kids
I don’t understand what teachers think a “banned words list” is gonna accomplish except being the new target of bored kids/teens
(Unless they’re just tired of hearing it, but this isn’t a good solution imo)
Type S? Not an Acura fan?
How did all of this brain damage manifest itself?
