I’m already hep to your jive, so I know what’s fly.
Younger people of lemmy, what are some nuanced sayings that you would like to have explained to you?
Privacy - Privacy is the state or condition of being free from public attention or unsanctioned intrusion, allowing individuals to control their personal information and maintain boundaries from others. It involves the right to keep one’s personal life, thoughts, and activities confidential, and to decide what information is shared and with whom. Privacy ensures protection from surveillance, interference, and misuse of one’s personal data, supporting autonomy and dignity in personal and professional contexts.
I know y’all had a rough start growing up online, but that word really used to be important to us grey beards who watched all this online stuff unfold over the decades.
Sometimes I wonder if the younger folks realize you don’t have to document your life on the internet.
Why do old people always follow the same rules of syntax and grammar?
Just kidding I’m old and I want to know why young people mangle english so much.
I think it’s probably an attempt to be unique. Our written words have a massive forum of eyes on them that was never achieved before in human history. So we all wanna be unique? Unsure but that’s my guess. That and it’s possible humans inner monologue is being displayed more accurately and with less fear of repercussion.
“Older” needs a reference point, son.
I’m 5 yrs older than a caterpillar that turned into a cocoon. I’ve never seen it again for two decades
There was a multi panel comic posted today or yesterday, I think the final panel mentioned skibidi.
Found it. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3caedeba-754f-4af7-8130-bbc45aa77ce1.jpeg
1: Father, you have no respect. You simper over mother without end, and it brings shame upon me.
2: Quite. I may be “skip to the lou, my darling”, but your mother has earned my undying respect. My world goes crazy without her.
3: She’s a gentleman of audacious taste.
4: Double France? Double France.
Then why in the opening olympic ceremonies do they use it to mean france. I think you need to revise whether you take your sources from dubious online forums vs an entire olympics commitee, hmm
Skibidi. I know it’s based on some YouTube things but I don’t get it.
It’s part of a lyric from an Arabic song that was featured in some viral Tiktok videos, most notably this one
It became sort of a filler word, but mostly think of it as being synonymous with “cool”
Huh and here I thought it was a reference to the Little Big song of the same name
