    Not the person you're replying to, but in the same boat, and I for one dipped out at "yeet" and "yoink"

    Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

        Yeet is from the Vine era. Gen Alpha has more recent stuff. You know, the whole "skibidi ohio fanum tax amogus rizzler fortnite gyat" thing.

          It's like a forceful put or get.

          Now I kind-of want HTTP verbs for those.

          YEET /api/v1/submit HTTP/1.1
          Host: example.com
          User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
          Accept: */*
          Content-Type: application/json
          
          ...
          
          YOINK /api/v1/list HTTP/1.1
          Host: example.com
          User-Agent: curl/8.6.0
          Accept: application/json

              yeah i have no idea what most of those words mean. i only know that "rizz" is a short for charisma, and that gyat means a nice ass, probably

                  The most confusing part of that is that alpha are millennials' children. Meaning people from my generation spawned those things. What.

                    Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I'm a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don't even realise are slang as I'm using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.
