Wait, is this actually how young people talk or are you gaslighting us?
Lingo and slang changes every decade or so. I don't know why people are surprised that the trends from when they are 14 are no longer cool.
It's not even every decade. It's basically every 3 weeks
I'm not surprised that language changes, I just never heard this particular phrasing before but judging from your offendedness, I guess it is used
Well, they didn't imply that it is surprising.
I mean I use it, and I'm in my mid-20
In that case, English is broken. This is too much, we are literally cooked and need a new global lingua franca
Why? New slang has always been forming, it's literally how language evolves
The joke was that I used the very word I was complaining about (hopefully correctly) in combination with another word (literally) many pedants get pissed when used in a non literal sense
I seeee, it did cross my mind it being a joke, but I also thought you might have been mocking it lol
I'm not mocking it, I'm totally cooking it
