      @junipersky no, I don’t meet youths much in my line of work, and when I do, dabbing doesn’t actually come up. I found out about dabbing from listening to TAZ, and one of the few youths I know had to explain it to me. It took several tries.

      Yeet was much easier to learn.

      let it be a challenge to you

        @sao I hate to tell you this but ‘yeet’ is right out.

        But I love it and I’m gonna keep using it.

          I used ‘yeet’ in a pandemic lesson and my students acted like I had murdered their families.

            @Snackness lol. Yeah I figured it was no longer in when I saw people misusing it on the news in an attempt to be “with it”.

                    Playing a young/teen character is less about nailing the slang du jour and more about being vulnerable, inexperienced, confident about things you have no real clue about, unconfident about things that really are okay, feeling Big Emotions and maybe not knowing what to do with them, and discovering Nietzsche and then explaining it to people 25 years older than you.

                    I think it’s tricky for players because believable teens get so much “wrong” as they flail into adulthood (and players don’t like to be wrong), not so much because it’s hard to know when not to say yeet.

                      Slang is born in the Black and Queer cultures, and then because it’s cool, the youth start using it. Around this time, the Black and Queer cultures sigh and move on to some new slang. Then people notice that the youth are using it, so the wider culture starts using it. At this point, the youth stop using it and move on to the new slang the Black and Queer communities created. The wider culture will not stop using this slang, until the new slang (which is actually now old slang) created by the Black and Queer cultures percolates down to them again.

                      Thus is the cycle of slanglife.

                      as previously stated, good day.

                        All I have to contribute to this subject is that there is never anything that makes you sound like a cranky old fart as much as complaining about keeping up with slang, lol.

                                            I had one of those sleepless nights where old stuff finishes ruminating in your mind and finally bubbles to the surface. Now to unload it so I can go on to other ruminations.

                                            Red flags. I’ve had a few experiences in this hobby with people who I would, without being a medical professional, definitely armchair diagnose as malignant narcissists at worst – and players who use and discard other players like NPCs at best.

                                            If somebody says this to you in a private conversation, run.

                                            “I have a black belt in charm.”
                                            “I am/we are the darlings/power couple of the game.”
                                            “I can win anyone over.”
                                            “Many players are jealous of my success but I know you’re different.”
                                            “I play for me, others will have to find their own fun.”

                                            And other things like them, I’m sure.

                                            These statements aren’t all one hundred per cent wrong: We are all responsible for finding our own fun instead of having it served up on a plate, for example.

                                            But they’re also all direct quotes from people who – well, let’s just say that I don’t need to talk to any of those people again.
