I was particularly surprised at how quickly millennial sayings aged.
Which, um.. which ones are we not supposed to be saying anymore..? Asking for a friend...
Calling things 'retarded' in both a good or bad way. Calling bad or annoying things 'gay'. Adding izzle to the end of words.
One of these things is not like the otherizzle.
Que es El dilly-yo?
I remember being in complete shock sometime in the late 90s when millenial high schoolers went around calling everything gay. Like mouth dropped open the first time I encountered it.
My observation as a Xillenial:
Millenials tended to have negative-meaning slang. It's like the generation expressed its angst.
Zoomers tend to have positive-meaning slang. This generation does not try to follow the Boomer dream and focuses its energy elsewhere.
