Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.

Yo dawg, that would be like totally tubular unless the geezers spaz out like lamo rents gettin all agro after gettin to tha crib and finding all da homies having a jammy jam in the hizzie. Ya feel me, cuz?

"cooking" in the context of doing something well has been around for a long time. Think, "now you're cooking!" Or the less common "now you're cooking with gas!"

I think it's just in more frequent use currently. It will be interesting to see if people stop using it after it goes out of fashion with the youth.

Nurse! I vibe coded in my pants again

As an old person today, I have no clue what these words mean. Assuming cooking has nothing to do with food. I've never heard rizz. I've at least heard people use based, though I don't know its use.

That would be rad...

My 34 year-old brother says "rats!" when something bad happens. He learned from our grandpa.

they already are in black communities, teens see tiktok comments and go wow new slang, a lot of this shit isnt new tho, like bop wasnt new but everyone acted like it was a new tiktok word, neither was thot on twitter or many others, rizz isnt new, its been around, cooking and based? not new at all

in the nursing home talking about how I rizzed up the nurses (i didn't)

Based has been around forever, it's not some new slang.

I'm cooking spaghetti for dinner tonight. Yes, I'm old.

I'm old and "cooking" was old when I was young.

They are already getting there. Hearing forty year olds say it means kids are now stopping saying it.

They already are, as people on here know them. Also “cooking” just seems to be shorthand for “cooking with gas”, with the same connotations and meaning, and boomers are definitely saying that.

Gag me with a spoon

Jst lk ppl used 2 txt, amirite

Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?

Sorry, but you ain't all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.

I haven't heard swag in a long while and so I'm not sure how many of these words will actually be used enough later on.

Not really. Just look up the some slang words from 2000's you've never heard of but what everyone in my generation would've been constantly using.

Ofc some of them are still around, but most aren't.

I'll be ambling through nursing home hallways in a threadbare robe on the way to the ol' skibidi while some orderlies with multicolor levitating hair make modem noises at each other.

That'll just be the microplastic poisoning setting in though.

And their grandkids will ask "based on what?"
