Gen X. There were no banned words.
I think you mean to say:
“Chat, is this generation COOKED?”
CaseOh: “Chat, we’re cooked.”
Chat: “Pls don’t eat us!”
Lmao Emma only cannot say Tweaking.
The best way to make sure everyone is saying those words is to ban them lol
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.
If you’re 30+ it’s your duty to destroy their words, just like the older generation did to our words, we will in turn kill these words untill only the true cool words remain, that is the way the universe purges itself of cringe.
Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.
Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.
Wait until you learn how seriously law enforcement took street gangs.
The whole Saints Row series was based on the dichotomy between incorrigible feral teens, a product of hands-off parenting while simultaneously running an international drug and crime syndicate
Of note is the property of ur-fascism the enemy [of the movement] is simultaneously strong and weak
We weren’t allowed to wear hats because that meant you were in a gang…
Early 90s they were TERRIFIED we might wear gang color shoe laces.
In public highschool in the '90s in rural Ohio. A bunch dressed in western/cowboy gear and brought guns to a football game and there was some other ‘gang’ as well (maybe same fashion but different belief? I don’t remember). One person got found with a gun and arrested, but nothing else came of it. Yeehaw, I suppose.
How often was Emma saying Tweaking to get her own place on the board?
My thoughts exactly.
As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥
As a teacher, I cannot tell you how much this changed my life. I just spew their random shit right at them, totally straight-faced, with a painful degree of enunciation. They do not say those words again in my presence. Their cringe feeds me. I also find it helpful to try to get them to define each term, in excruciating detail, then I destroy the word for them.
Let’s everyone thank chat for yeeting this advice to us
Emma getting called out like that is hilarious
I can’t believe they really called out Emma like that lol
There was a shirt, it was Mario + Mushroom = Big Mario. Our administration thought this was a drug reference. Some nerdy kid would wear the shirt and about half way through the day they would be wearing it inside out.
Literally a 40 year old reference, seniors still in working age was in their 20s when this game was released
Idk… seems like a drug reference, lol. The kid just isn’t cool enough to get it.
As an elder gen Z I can assure you that the list of banned things in my class circa 2015 was somehow worse. Just off the top of my head.
SpongeBob laugh
WW2 Propaganda (Just cause it’s historical doesn’t make it not pornography vaultdweller013)
Any discussion of the killdozer
Bulldozer noises
Tank noises (You will all make annoying lawyers)
Kazoos are not longer allowed
Compressed air canisters are banned especially if you have a whistle and duck tape
Arma is not allowed to be watched on computer property
Soviet national anthem
Russian national anthem
State anthem of Mississippi
Djibouti National anthem
Sakkinarven Polka
Those are just the ones I remember, I am the direct source of at least half of them.
They changed the state anthem of Mississippi a couple of years ago from Go Mississippi to One Mississippi. It’s no longer contextually hilarious and not nearly as hoki. I guess Mississippi decided they were not on the right track and probably were never going to get to the top.
Shame the old one is pretty unique, frankly if anyone needs an update it’s us Californians. But we are also a somewhat lazy bunch and would probably just make California Dreamin the new anthem. Either that or the committee would let their insanity take hold and ya would end up with something reminiscing a Latin war cant.
This is wildly unrelated but it’s the polka that plays in my head when someone mentions polka which also happens to be mildly problematic though hilarious.
I’m stuck with Pennsylvania Polka because of Groundhog Day.
And now everyone who’s watched it is stuck with it too.
This is basically a shit post song, I guess people are still somewhat the same.
Also my association for polka is Polka never dies by The Dreadnaughts.
I will proceed to check out the national anthem of Djibouti and the state anthem of Mississippi. I might be back with some questions.
I did sleep under a rock
You had things banned in class?
Why?
I started the problem that got banned
You mean Säkkijärven?
fuck you emma!
Edging
How old are these kids, I was assuming pre teen
Anything that gets a rise out of your parents is going to be repeated on a loop whether or not you understand the context.
I remember saying “Pimp” in front of a friend’s parent. She chewed me out over it, while my friend’s younger sister listened in. She then proceeded to say “Pimp! Pimp! Pimp!” all the way home.
I was not invited back to that house for a month, which I think is a bit unfair.
Not to be confused with band words:
- practice
- scales
- tuner
- first chair
- recital
- solo
- clarinet
- John Philip Souza
- hot cross buns
- tuba
- bassoon
- glockenspiel
I got to 6 before I realized why such words might be band.
I think John Phillip Souza and glockenspiel have potential for new brain rot.
I would still ban Souza
Ohio is a no no word? But that’s the name of a state?
Why is Ohio number three on this banned words list?
Always has been.
