Every generation has slang, but Gen Alpha’s has a particularly unhinged quality, some parents say. Still, experts say their bad rep isn’t totally deserved.
In the beginning, there was “skibidi.”
It appeared abruptly in the lexicons of kids under 14 — the first slang term unique to Generation Alpha. Parents’ ears perked up as they began to hear it around the dinner table. It could mean bad, cool, or nothing at all, their kids explained. Then a dozen more incomprehensible terms followed suit.
Gen Z’s “slay” and “tea” are officially vintage, giving way to “sigma,” “gyatt” and “fanum tax.”
Everyone’s getting whiplash.
So it’s a Schrodingly word
It’s literally as literal as literally
Fuck fucking fuck fuckers…FUCK
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.
Not any different from, cool, hot, or ass.
Well it’s different from cool, hot, or ass because skibidi and gyatt isn’t a real word. I never heard a new word that got so many meaning shoved into them so fast it become meaningless.
Every word that we use wasn’t a real word until it started getting used. Rejecting new words is a prescriptivist fallacy. If anything this is an exciting time, because we get to study accelerated language changes.
That wasn’t my intention at all lol, please reread what i wrote.
