I’m a big fan of the word ‘calc’. It’s short for calculator by the way, I’m just using slang. Oh by the way if anyone’s new to the stream, calc is short for calculator. I’m just using slang.
tbf the only time that sb nation headline should ever be uttered is if danny and arin from gamegrumps are saying it.
I hope Baby Gronk talked to his doctor about that drip.
didnt baby gronk get rizzed up like last year?
Also wasn’t this proven to be a completely made up troll?
ITT sad fucks who listen to their parents’ music whining about language evolving as it does and always has.
want language that stays the same? go learn fucking latin and leave those of us who speak living languages be.
People are joking in this thread and its normal older generations dont understand, deal with it.
Beside that, drips was the slang word for gonnorhea, strange evolution like if your kids start to say raw dogging instead of like.
Here two example: 1 look at my drip (Old) look at my gonnorhea (New) look at my outfit
2 I really raw dogged my teacher (hypothetical) (Old) I really fucked my teacher without a condom (New) I really like my teacher
This is what is going on and where all the fun is in this specific slang, no need to thank me for the explanation.
Recte. Et relinquam te post dandum lingua!
There’s “living” like a forest and there’s “living” like bathroom mold.
I personally find language evolution like this super interesting, informal language has evolved a lot thanks to the internet
I’m ngl I saw baby Gronk and immediately thought of a baby version of Kronk instead. I vaguely think this makes more sense anyway, so I’m just gonna pretend that’s what they meant.
Flipping a grunt is what I call an especially difficult fecal birth.
Ha! My penultimate daughter said something to me the other day and I was like “huh?” because I thought I’d misheard her, it didn’t sound like words. She repeated the exact same string of sounds, and I was like, “ok I didn’t mishear you, but that just sounds like nonsense”.
Later in the week she showed me a “Needo Nice Squishy Cube” - that was what she had been talking about. The imminent arrival of the blue needo nice.
This is the product in question. Had no idea it was a thing. If it’s not sticky, it might be a cool office fidget toy.
Yeah, now I want one…
Oh my God. I had to show this to the aforementioned penultimate daughter because her favorite show in the world is
Supernatural.
She has a life size cutout of Castiel in her bedroom. Not kidding.

If you hunt down the article they’re referring to, it’s very self-aware. They made the headline ridiculous on purpose.
Imagine that. A tabloid news rag that used a clickbait headline? I’m shocked! SHOCKED!
… Well, not that shocked.
Celebrity news looked like that for me since I was a kid lol. I never understood how people are supposed to know celebrities and be attracted by such headlines.
As a kid, I also liked to do crosswords, but I rarely could complete them, because they always asked things about celebrities. I hated it so much.
I’ve never cared about celebrity news for the sake of celebrity news, but I’ve found I very much care about the actual creation of the art that I like.
That means sometimes I know about the relationship history of the songwriters whose albums I listen to, knowing that a post-divorce album might explore those themes. Same with when a standup comedian I like becomes a parent, knowing that the observational humor may shift as a result.
For television and film, I know who’s signing deals with who, which actors and directors like working with each other, what some prior screenwriter was doing before the current project, which studios have reputations for interfering with the artistic vision, which directors and producers have reputations for mismanaging resources, which characters had to be written off of shows for off-set reasons, etc., because it all affects the end product.
For sports, some of the off-field drama can affect the on-field product (suspensions or personnel movement for non-sports reasons, weird health conspiracy theories affecting one’s return from injured status).
So I don’t really mess with celebrity gossip in itself, but I do follow industry news in television, film, music, the sports I like, and any other entertainment I enjoy.
I’ve found I very much care about the actual creation of the art that I like.
I totally get that. I think it’s like that for a lot of people.
Sad thing is, there’s a bunch of folks out there that aren’t all that deep. So “pretty people doing pretty people things” is about the level of involvement there. There’s probably an escapism/fantasy element there too, which may explain why we have people that are famous for being famous.
Same. I remember trying to do crossword puzzles, and half of them were like, “Name of the actress who played X in the 90s series title.” Me: Hell if I know… name of a purple crystal used for jewelry and home decorations? oh yeah, I know this one!"
I would be so much more impressive at jeopardy if it wasn’t for all the celebrity questions!
I never understood slang as a kid but I’m finally starting to figure it out. By the time my kids are teenagers, I’ll be a pro. They won’t be able to hide anything from me.
Just say the words they do. Nothing will make something uncool faster than a parent adopting it.
I am so excited to do this when they get older haha
A few more years, and I’ll finally become cool. Hehe, yes, just a few more years…
I’m a school bus driver and my kids act like their slang is some kind of secret language that I can’t possibly understand. They apparently aren’t aware that google is a thing.
Urban dictionary ftw
