Well I don't wanna spread only negativity asking people avout what they dislike. What words do you find funny.

Personally I like zesty, edging and the 'are they stupid?'

SK what internet lingo do you like?

Ever since I heard of skibidi toilet, I like calling everything a skibidi something. Go put your skibidi bike in the garage. My kids hate it.

[–] AtomicHotSauce 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I’ve done this a few times as well. I still have no idea what it really is. Funny words make laugh.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

As far as I can tell "skibidi" has no actual meaning, it's just a word that proves you're part of the in-group.

[–] benderbeerman 3 points 1 month ago

Before the toilet, there was Little Big Skibidi

This will probably actually make it more confusing, but it's still worth it, and it's a Brazillion times better than skibidi toilet could ever dream...

I like the word "yeet". It gives me this mental image of someone chucking out something without any regard or care, like for example: "Even if we yeet the implications of such a statement out of the way, it still is not a good statement to come from the mouth of a head of state in such a meeting." Or: "Don't just yeet your clothes after taking them off, the hamper is there for a reason!" Or even: "Someone yote their banana peel and this guy slipped on it."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I've heard that "YEET!" is for power, but "KOBE!" is for accuracy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is the past tense of yeet yote or yeeted? I like yote better, personally.

[–] 200ok 7 points 1 month ago

"Yeeted" before words that start with a vowel or an "h".

"Yote" before words that start with everything else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I prefer "yote", but I wasn't even thinking it's the past tense, funny enough. I think what I had in mind earlier is "yote = had yeeted" but upon thinking more about it, it doesn't make any sense.

"Yeeted" seems to be becoming more common than "yote" tho, but it isn't too bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yote has class.

[–] 200ok 2 points 1 month ago

I yeeted air from my nose

I'm a big fan of -ussy as a suffix, especially when it's wildly unsuitable for the purpose

It's utterly ruined ales describing themselves as "citrussy"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be honest, "citrussy" just means "We're not very good at making beer yet so we just chucked hops at it until it was drinkable and called it craft"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a handy way to know what to avoid.

But why don't pubs seem to know that? Most pubs these days hav become lemon parties.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I didn't know what you meant by 'lemon party' so I looked it up... I don't know what kind of pubs you're frequenting, but have at it!

I like to spell words that contain 'ck' as 'cc' (sicc fucc).

[–] Postmortal_Pop 11 points 2 months ago

I can relate to this. img_0391_7

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cucc looks like a funny word

[–] Sanctus 14 points 2 months ago

Its better on normal stuff:

'Yeah I got my shirt stucc in the dryer. It was tucced under the basket."

I usually get corrections in texts lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

β€˜Thick with three and a half c’s’ is one of my favorites.

Ever since the edgerunners anime I've kinda wanted choom and gonk to turn into real slang

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Nah choom, them got flatlined.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not sure if it's still the case but when it first came out, it was really obvious they used an automated process for generating the subtitles and didn't bother to check their work. The part where Rebecca calls David a stupid gonk gets subbed as a derogatory word.

"based", because it's based. I feel a sort of badassery when I hear the way it's pronounced

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I still don't understand what this means.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn't be praised in situations where it would be humorous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I thought it had more of a 'doing your own thing' vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

"It's so over" or "joever". Because yeah, it has never been so joever.

Also fanum taxing. It's just funny sounding and I can't figure out what it means.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hasta la vista, baby.

Groovy is a personal favorite of mine. Every time I say it, it brings me just a little bit of joy.
