Wow. A *lot* of these are far older than Gen Z. Like "tea", among others. And it's not "af" like ahf, it's "A. F."; and "As. F". This reminds me a bit of thos

This reminds me a bit of those Parenting magazines that got like half the slang or origins wrong
- mturmon 3y agoRelated to your parenting magazine comparison: the evergreen hoax, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge_speak#Grunge_speak_words https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge_speak#Grunge_speak_word... My bona fide Gen Z son does not allow me to use any of the words in OP, especially not in front of his friends.

- niam 3y agoIt's not saying the slang originated there, so much as it is slang that is used by gen Z.
- t-writescode 3y agoSeveral of them do say that the slang originated in Gen Z
- Lornedon 3y agoBut the "tea" one, which the parent comment mentions, is described as originating in the 90s. So it's not really a valid example.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoI never see "af" capitalized or with periods.
- prng2021 3y agoTIL that there’s someone in the world who spends the time to type af or asf with caps and periods. L.O.L.
- bmer 3y agoIt's kinda crazy how confident they are about it too.
- pavon 3y agoThe one that surprised me was yap. I’ve heard that used frequently by at least four generations. Did it fall out of use such that it could repopularized recently?
