I know a few teachers, the "cringy and bad" is the goal, not a mistake. It's apparently quite therapeutic watching the "cool kids" squirm. How bad can you make them, but not make it obvious what you're doing?
The fact that it also helps a lot of kids remember it is almost just a bonus.
I've got a friend who was slightly too old when the word yeet became popular. He decided he would use it confidently, often, and incorrect. He still does.
He's excited to embarrass his kids by doing that with whatever the current slang is when they are 12 or 13.
Can confirm, life has new meaning, so sigma
I'm so rizzed up about using slang wrong
Sigma balls lmao gottem
My minion is still too young for that. I plan to wind them up mercilessly however. Right now, dad jokes are the height of humour to them.
I'll be a little sad when it finally gets old.
Hi Hungary, I'm Belgium
YES! Yes holy shit, I love to make kids cringe by intentionally using memes wrong.
I'm not even a teacher but this is the best part of being a full adult.
Yup and the "cool" ones who don't engage will suddenly be engaged with it and paying attention
Am teacher, this is absolutely true. The awkwardness is hilarious too me.
Kids don't get the idea of others getting their cringy and bad memes
That's fire
