I like the word "yeet". It gives me this mental image of someone chucking out something without any regard or care, like for example: "Even if we yeet the implications of such a statement out of the way, it still is not a good statement to come from the mouth of a head of state in such a meeting." Or: "Don't just yeet your clothes after taking them off, the hamper is there for a reason!" Or even: "Someone yote their banana peel and this guy slipped on it."

I've heard that "YEET!" is for power, but "KOBE!" is for accuracy.
It will always be this to me:
And will never not make me smile.
I do feel yeet has a timelessness to it, due to the onomatopoeia-ness/ying-yang synergy with yoink
Oh, yeah!!
We can say "Yoink that thing and yeet it out of here," and even if the person doesn't know what βyoinkβ nor βyeetβ is, they can probably guess what you want them to do just from the sound "feels" alone.
Is the past tense of yeet yote or yeeted? I like yote better, personally.
"Yeeted" before words that start with a vowel or an "h".
"Yote" before words that start with everything else.
Yote has class.
I prefer "yote", but I wasn't even thinking it's the past tense, funny enough. I think what I had in mind earlier is "yote = had yeeted" but upon thinking more about it, it doesn't make any sense.
"Yeeted" seems to be becoming more common than "yote" tho, but it isn't too bad.
I yeeted air from my nose
Ever since I heard of skibidi toilet, I like calling everything a skibidi something. Go put your skibidi bike in the garage. My kids hate it.
Iβve done this a few times as well. I still have no idea what it really is. Funny words make laugh.
As far as I can tell "skibidi" has no actual meaning, it's just a word that proves you're part of the in-group.
Before the toilet, there was Little Big Skibidi
This will probably actually make it more confusing, but it's still worth it, and it's a Brazillion times better than skibidi toilet could ever dream...
I'm a big fan of -ussy as a suffix, especially when it's wildly unsuitable for the purpose
It's utterly ruined ales describing themselves as "citrussy"
To be honest, "citrussy" just means "We're not very good at making beer yet so we just chucked hops at it until it was drinkable and called it craft"
It's a handy way to know what to avoid.
But why don't pubs seem to know that? Most pubs these days hav become lemon parties.
I didn't know what you meant by 'lemon party' so I looked it up... I don't know what kind of pubs you're frequenting, but have at it!
I like to spell words that contain 'ck' as 'cc' (sicc fucc).
I can relate to this.
Cucc looks like a funny word
Its better on normal stuff:
'Yeah I got my shirt stucc in the dryer. It was tucced under the basket."
I usually get corrections in texts lol
βThick with three and a half cβsβ is one of my favorites.
Ever since the edgerunners anime I've kinda wanted choom and gonk to turn into real slang
Nah choom, them got flatlined.
Not sure if it's still the case but when it first came out, it was really obvious they used an automated process for generating the subtitles and didn't bother to check their work. The part where Rebecca calls David a stupid gonk gets subbed as a derogatory word.
"It's so over" or "joever". Because yeah, it has never been so joever.
Also fanum taxing. It's just funny sounding and I can't figure out what it means.
"based", because it's based. I feel a sort of badassery when I hear the way it's pronounced
I still don't understand what this means.
In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn't be praised in situations where it would be humorous.
I thought it had more of a 'doing your own thing' vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.
I wish I liked "based" but more often than not when I hear it on the internet it's because someone said a slur or something bigoted.
"What the sigma" is still hilarious to me.
"Nah, I'd win"
βCookedβ was part of my (and the rest of my countryβs) vocabulary for decades before it became a zoomer meme thing, does that count
Amogus.
Sus.
Yeet.
Rizz.
Ohio Rizz.
Hasta la vista, baby.
Cool

Groovy is a personal favorite of mine. Every time I say it, it brings me just a little bit of joy.
Skibidibi sounds Hella rad
