Understanding is not using, but fair, not everyone understands yeet. Replace it with any sufficiently recent neologism.
Rizz, zhuzh, doggo, sus, cromulent, phishing, nerf, npc, gram/grammable, etc etc.
The point isn't about yeet, specifically.
- HKH2 2y agoNPC, sus and phish are at least 20 years old and serve a clear purpose. The rest I've never used.
- hungie 2y agoDo you understand them? I've never ever used "rizz", but I understand it means "charisma" or charm, for instance.
- HKH2 2y agoI know what 'nerf' and 'grammable' mean because they're obvious, but I won't ever think of using them. The rest I honestly have no idea about. I really don't care about fashionable language.
- burnished 2y agoYour disinterest is ostentatious to the point of itself being a fashion statement. Also, 'nerf' and 'grammable' are obvious? I know what nerf means but neither are in any way obvious. I think you've got some unexamined ideas about language that have more to do with the words you learned as you were coming up than any principled or aesthetic reason.

If you know the brands, the verbs/adjectives can stick easily. > I think you've got some unexamined ideas about language that have more to do with the words you learned as you were coming up than any principled or aesthetic reason. I think you have problems understanding why people say what they do.
