Zoomer slang is way better than millennial slang

Date: January 14th, 2026 4:40 PM Author: Exciting theatre i'm exaggerating to convey my point that millennial slang was very influenced by 2000s early internet slang and people absolutely said shit like "epic", "YOLO", "adulting", etc. all the time IRL and for a while everyone was selling bacon everything. bacon ice cream, cupcakes, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822023&forum_id=2],#49589502) |

Date: January 14th, 2026 4:47 PM Author: Umber nighttime site zoomers are way more unified in slang usage because of how tiktok works. i dont think i ever heard someone say "adulting" irl a single time in my life, just in tinder profiles
but this thread is really just about how you think millennials are cringe because you're gen x like doodikoff imo |

Date: January 14th, 2026 4:50 PM Author: Exciting theatre hdy completely untrue.
no if anything i'm harsher on millennials because i am one and it's always more cringey looking back at your own adolescence than other peoples. from my pov 2010-2015 was the "le epic bacon" early internet age and 2015-2025 was the woke era and the slang in both of those was dogshit. |

Date: January 14th, 2026 5:28 PM Author: Shaky yarmulke stead The entire modern British accent was because rich kids were copying poor kids in the early 1800s. The cockney dropped pronouncing the R and the aristocrats kids were like this sounds so cool we should do it. It's always been kids tryna be cool and copying the underclass.

Date: January 14th, 2026 5:37 PM Author: Exciting theatre i thought it was backwards: the american accent is more similar to 1700s English while the english poors copied the nobles and that became the dominant accent (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822023&forum_id=2],#49589686) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2026 5:43 PM Author: Shaky yarmulke stead The American accent is more similar to 1700s English. The British used to pronounce the R and sound more like we do. It's just that it was the English nobles copying the poors. On Wikipedia it says most of Zoomer slang originated from African Americans. It's the same concept. The poor people in England were inventing the language and the rich were doing it to be ironic. That's how they lost the R and our dialect is closer to the original.
The reason the New England accent also dropped the R was they had the most contact with Old England and had the most people from England coming there. So after the British dropped the R they came here and that's how the New England accent took root and why it sounds so strange. |

Date: January 14th, 2026 6:25 PM Author: Exciting theatre where do you get that it was english rich copying the poors? im just remembering what ive heard so im not making any assertions, but a couple google searches indicate the proper received pronunciation english started with the aristocracy. it also seems dubious to me that 1800s english would think it's cool to mimic the poor like we do today. the opposite makes more sense.

Date: January 14th, 2026 6:28 PM Author: Shaky yarmulke stead There was an era when the poor mimicked the rich especially in Victorian England but this was long before that. Read a lot of books on the topic. It doesn't make sense though why the aristocrats would start randomly telling their kids not to pronounce the letter R anymore though. In fact if you listen to King Charles make a speech he sounds more American than the average Brit does. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822023&forum_id=2],#49589807) |

Date: January 14th, 2026 7:05 PM Author: provocative goal in life i thought rich immitated poor ironically, like how Oprah sometimes likes to get down and talk neck-wag grrrrrl every now and then, like when making a joke, otherwise, she's right back on her Lester Holt/Iman accent. In Britain, the poor would immitate the rich to try and sound posh, but it always fell back into cockney when they stopped concentrating or got angry about something (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822023&forum_id=2],#49589978) |
|
Date: January 14th, 2026 7:08 PM Author: Shaky yarmulke stead Yes so just imagine an era circa 1800 when they were doing this ironically but in an era where there's no TV and radio and geography has an impact. Notice how the Irish still pronounce the R. What started as an ironic mocking of the underclass stuck. Kids were doing it at first as a joke and then it caught on. Natural languages often evolve in unforeseen ways.
According to Gemini dropping the R started with women in the 15th century but did not become widespread until the early 19th century when aristocrats started teaching it to their kids as the correct way to pronounce things. It was definitely a fashion statement that evolved in the underclass first before the upper class assumed it. |

Date: January 14th, 2026 7:53 PM Author: Shaky yarmulke stead You're mismatching eras. You're conflating the early 1800s with the later 1800s when during Victoria's rule the poor admired the rich. Not so earlier on. The science on this is settled. Stop being so erroneous. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5822023&forum_id=2],#49590171) |
