        Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that. It’s still too commonly used but nothing like it was back then.

          not to mention the casual use of the hard R. even Linus from LTT admitted to have dropped his fair share of hard Rs back then.

          Yeah my friends and I unfortunately used it when we were in grade school and it was so commonplace. Then I didn’t use it for probably the last 17+ years, but now it seems like it’s making somewhat of a resurgence? I’m hearing it more often again which is totally inappropriate

        We had a couple weeks calling people “F.A.G.s’ and “M.A.G.s” for 'female ass grabber” and “male ass grabber”. As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.

      What I remember from the 90/00s: sinch, hella, coolio, jam (going), spaz, poser, chillax, bitchin, burn, noob, booyah, aight, duh, phat, sup, stoked, jiggy, harsh, buzz kill

      There’s a shitton more, but that’s what I got off the top of my head

      You were learning slang along with everything else. At that age, it doesn’t stand out against everything else the same way it does when you’re older.

      Just because you don’t remember it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. You had to learn it at some point. You weren’t born with a lexicon of slang that revealed itself when it suddenly became modern/relevant lol
