I'll never get tired of the old person talks young slang joke. It's straight bussin'.

Ever seen Geoffrey Palmer talk like a 2000s teenage girl? Its something to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGp4DvFEgh8

I love that show, how the hell have I never seen this?!

Watch Susanne Daubner at Tagesschau read the word for official youth word (Jugendwort) competition. She so serious. The youth love her.

"Go ahead and steal. The worst that will happen is you have to give it back. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ"

That does seem like a post you'd find on Tumblr or X or BlueSky. This plate is an ancient shitpost.

Kind of, right? That was my favorite part

Hahahahaha took me a moment to get past "MoneyMaxxing Sigmas" XD I had to compose myself... this is too good.

Appreciate you, I didn't grab it from Twitter but good on you getting that source

I love that Im simultaneously young enough to not know anything about the art, and old enough to not truly fully understand anything she just said about it

It's from the 16th century, but you don't have to be that old to learn about it. πŸ˜‰

[–] clucose@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

Wow, I like it. That’s art in itself.

I'm watching the new episode right now! Nick Cannon should be ashamed!

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I was unsure what lingo young people used, but now i know thanks to this video

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Wonder how many practice runs she did

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The mix of dialects is hilarious lol

She enunciated it all so well! I honestly wouldn't have caught the lack of gayness on the yaassss

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I hope she does more. I think shell eventually just get it and won't have to be corrected. Plate slaps would pull it out at the function. But only to peep

I don’t know whether to be impressed with myself or sad to know that I understood everything she said.

β€œBenefits” of having teen kids.

The joke is that the only people who use this slang are super duper dense, and none of them like history.
