    Tiktok has been such a facilitator it’s unbelievable. Within a week or two a word I’ve never heard a single white person use will be a part of the average genZer’s/genAlpha’s lexicon. Plus they will then be called “meme words” 💀

    I do not really care but something will always be uncomfortable about a 13 year old white kid saying rizz and gyatt in every other sentence.

      gyatt

      God I fucking hate this term so much it's not even a word it's just onomatopoeia 💀 we already have plenty of terms for ass/booty/cake

      Language evolves and changes and I'm aware things change between generations but like damn man this feels like a complete regression. I blame capitalism

        Wait at the risk of sounding incredibly old and white gyatt means ass? I thought it was supposed to be like an alternate phonetic spelling of "Got Damn"

          The etymology I'd always heard for "gyatt" was that the meaning went from the exclamation "got damn" itself, to something that might make one exclaim "got damn" -- namely, a big ole sexy bumbum

        More than the word I hate the way it is used incessantly by children in TikTok comments whenever someone has a nice ass ("I GYATT to see it", "you GYATT to give it to her") just shut the fuck up already

      It really is weird hearing American suburban white kids on TikTok talking like the inner city kids I went to school with when I lived in the US. It’s really irritating to hear black slang referred to as “gen Z slang”

        Gen Z didn't even come up with most of it, it was Black Millennials 🙄 funny how they spent the last decade attributing everything to us yet can't seem to give credit where it's due
