      As an old, learning the new slang is a wonderful chance to learn words of power that will make everyone around you flinch under their force.

      Utter a “that’s bussin for real,” and watch those around you fall to their knees, and add a “poggers” to hear them wail and grind their teeth. Sprinkle a “skibidi” in to really drive things home.

      You’re missing out on true power here.

      If you barely had a grasp on old slang, new slang is just a second chance to get on with the times!

      The kids change the slang all the time. Did you know that dope apparently no longer means cannabis? Apparently the kids think it means exclusively heroin (horse).

        This has been true for a long time, hasn’t it? I’m in my 40s and I don’t think I’ve ever associated “Dope” with the devil’s cilantro.
