Yesterday I heard a kid use "trending" to mean popular. This was at a carnival, referring to a ride "trending" in the sense of having a long line. Feel like this is the modern version of LOL and OMG escaping into conversation.

I hate it when the hip kids these days use the word "popular." They're not even referring to populare politicians! They're not referring to populares; they're not even referring to the optimates! Kids these days with their new fangled slang.

I blame capitalism.

Except nobody ever said LOL or OMG outside of texting like a weirdo. People just aren't taught proper verbiage and they now use their slang in actual conversation which makes them less likely to be understood by the majority
If you've never heard someone say those letters out loud, your crowd hella neurotypical

Was just about to post some "what are you talking about?! Lots of people said..." but maybe that says something about the number of diagnosese my friend group have accumulated...

Lots of people did exactly that. It was obnoxious, and everyone hated them for it.

Yeah nah I'm not mad at them, just a little jealous maybe. They sidestepped an entire pet peeve

Honestly that's great. It's a pretty fitting word imo.

Lot's of people still do and I think it's completely fine

Asking chat is no longer meta. Now we ask chatgpt

I distinctly remember people saying “rofl” and “zomg” specifically when I was in high school/college

Yeah I don’t get why people die on this weird hill all the time. It feels wildly and unnecessarily judgmental

I have a friend that says pmo out loud. I haven't said anything about it, and I don't think it will.

I still today use, and hear familiar millennial use, "lmao"
Usually ironically with a twinge of negativity. Pronounced "luh-mow"
IE "Did you here the US elected Trump again?" "lmao"
Usually only used on its own, it suddenly sounds weird if you put it in a sentence but purely just used as a response to show ironic dissatisfaction quickly.
Pretty much the verbal equivalent of an eyeroll.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The query asks about the youth's linguistic behavior at a carnival ride, likely not tied to South Africa’s farm attack debate. Without specific details, I can’t say for sure if it's true. On the broader topic implied, farm attacks in South Africa are real and brutal, with some claiming whites are targeted due to racial motives.

Interesting usually hear that as “luh-mayo” but always used very strictly ironically/to be annoying

They don't use the same words I use, burn them at the stake!!
