Omg I understood every word of that - should I be worried now? :-P
Honestly, as a rapidly aging Millennial, only skibidi upsets and confuses me.
Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost
Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.
Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.
Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?
Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins
It’s also very reminiscent of the kind of content that 2000s newgrounds would host.
Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.
Skibidi doesn't have a universal meaning as a slang word. It gets tossed around differently depending on the group of friends using it.
For me "skibidi-bap" is a vocal flourish I'd hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as "booom selecta" or some others but it's up there.
I’m young millennial but as long as crinj means cringe… I’m only not sure about rizz, skibidi, or ohio.
Rizz is short for charisma, Ohio is a terrible place to be, and Skibidi seems to be a chameleon word with many different uses - cool, bad as in good, bad as in bad...
Old millennial with a middle schooler, so I learn enough to screw with them. If you have rizz, you’ve got charisma, if you are rizzing, you’re using charisma to flirt. Skibidi I’m guessing on, but it’s something that’s just generally whack, to use our own generations slang. Ohio is not one I’ve heard, but I’m guessing just a metaphor for a general state of pathetic, just like the state itself.
It's funny how you hit the nail on the head with Ohio perfectly since that's exactly the origin of it, people notices how there's nothing ever going on in Ohio and it just evolved from there.
I mean, Ohio should be self-explanatory to anyone familiar with the state.
I’m not American…
Well that's your own fault, now isn't it? \s
Ohio is what we in the US might call a "fly-over state." Meaning, a state that you want to fly over/through as part of a trip to elsewhere, rather than a place that you want to visit.
Deeply divided?
SHEEEEEESH!
As it should... as it should:-).
Would you mind please translate to an elderly lady in her mid 30s? Thanks love
It's pretty close to actual English:
"Father, you have no charisma. You are fruitlessly pursuing the love of your wife for real, it's cringeworthy!"
"I might be shit, but your mother has a lot of charisma. My world is boring without her"
"She's the greatest of all time"
"Seriously?" "Yes for real."
I do think it's funny for the supposed child of the pair to call it a fruitless pursuit, but also kind of appropriate, age wise!
Time to get the birds and bees talk, fruit of the pursuit.
Yeah well, that's just my translation of "simping" in this context while trying to avoid using slang myself.
"Unsuccessful courting" might be better.
I'm not sure if it's really used in the context of married people.
My flirty comments usually got the well-deserved eye roll from my partner. And I would do anything they ask for, unconditionally. They would, too, but usually managed to do it before I had the chance to ask for anything. Definitely the GOAT.
I can see how to a child this may look as simping.
Holy shit, forty three year old millennial here and I actually got it right.
Now to celebrate with a nice ibuprofen for my back.
Much appreciated
"Papa, you have no game. You drool over mama, seriously. That's cringeworthy!"
"I might be (???) but your mom got mad game. My world turns upside down without her. She's the greatest of all time."
"For real?"
"For real."
Hello, Wisconsin!
Thank you
Elderly in the mid 30s?
Fuck.
I feel old anyway, but now I feel even older now.
Shit.
Ehm...
Get off my lawn, kids!
I'm right there with you.
Why'd I get stabbed out of nowhere like that?
Begone from my trimmed garden, younglings!
Rizz = Charisma Simp = Insult basically meaning somebody who would do anything to get attention from someone (typically a man wanting attention from a woman) No cap = No lie/For real
Skibidi = ??? Mad = Intensifier ; So mad rizz = Immense charisma Ohio = Boring/Dull GOAT = Greatest Of All Time FR = For Real
All I could gather from skibidi, even with googling as it was the only one of two (ohio being the other) I had no about, was that it changes meaning depending on the sentence
e.g. Sick can mean ill or awesome, (The) Shit is good and (This is) Shit is bad
I have found that "skibidi" can simply be replaced by "crazy" in every usage that I have seen so far. It's just that people who use skibidi would probably don't use crazy in the same way.
Us oldies being able to parse it, just means that it is now out of date. ;-)
Crinj fr fr.
Gyatt, yaaas shook!! Ima yeet this zaddy glazed, no cap bussin.
(people who know this realize that zaddy doesn't fit, but I was so desperate to work it in...)
