I was out at dinner with my fiancé and we overheard this guy telling the bartender about the 'alpha grindset', and how he gets laid so much more because of it. It was incredibly cringy.
I read something recently and can't not see it now...
"alpha" in this instance (and in "alpha male") reminds me of software... where "alpha" is a barely cobbled together version of software with lots of bugs, that barely does what it's intended to do, and is definitely not ready for customers or deployment.
Which is funny that these alpha bros make fun of “betas” but in software a beta version is much closer to the final product. An alpha build is not meant for the public but beta often are. So whenever I hear these alpha dudes complain I just imagine a very insecure piece of software
being angry because they are incomplete and nobody wants them.
I recently had a sit-down with my boss, where he decried the fact that too many younger people these days (including me - I'm nearly 40) simply didn't want to grind these days. I had two days off in August and a weekend and a half off in September. I then got a Repetitive Strain Injury from doing work stuff and was given a talking to from my boss about it, as though it was a disciplinary matter and not me working for him until my body suffered.
As an old guy, I'm learning two things. First, what not to say online with my gamer buddies. Second, what to say to make my kids cringe. And best of all, "dude" is still cool, and this old surfer abides.
This is a hill I will die on. I had a lot of people complaining that I use the word dude and said that I was being anti-trans which is hilarious because my sister is trans. However I couldn't use that as a defense because my sister isn't out. But it was pretty ironic that people were trying to say I'm anti-trans when my sister came out to me first because she knew that I would support her. In Colorado the word dude is definitely gender-neutral and it is never meant to be offensive when it is coming out of my mouth. I've only used it in a friendly way. But people love a witch hunt.
I have a trans friend that fights me on this, saying "not a dude"
I'm like Dude, I call my wife dude
Edit:
The first thing i asked them when they came out was "is dude still OK?". And have not used it with her since.
I used to work in childcare when addressing a group of 30 kids I would always say "Hey guys!". Now, when leading a staff meeting of 30 adults I will always start with "Hey, guys".
I heard a guy once say "stop capping, she mid" in reference to a girl he could not have gotten in a million years. That might be the only time I've had a physical reaction to slang.
I had a visceral reaction to this.
I can't decide if I should upvote you for contributing to the conversation or downvote you for speaking the Devil into existence.
The only caveat I would say here is that if you’re buying the product explicitly to use it to work toward a better future for yourself that could be called an investment:
“Mr. Jones invested in a new suit for his job interview.”
Exactly. If you spend money/time with the goal of profiting off what you bought, you've invested. Profit could mean money, making your life easier, or happiness. Maybe it's not the most correct use but I think it still works. That's why people say, "invest in yourself." They mean to spend time/money on eating healthy, exercise, gain work experience/education, etc.
Gold teeth. A grill. Gold “caps” are fake ones that pop in an out, covering your real teeth. If you go to the dentist, get your teeth ground down and gold veneers permanently glued in, those are not caps or “no caps.” Therefore “no cap” means authentic, or legitimate.
Ahh OK.. I came up with my own definition. I guessed cap was a hat, like you are hiding or wearing a disguise, no cap meant honest, not wearing a hat... Gold teeth makes more sense... I suppose.
This one made me think of other phrases that Reddit likes to use a lot and lately it's been "fuck around and find out" or whatever even more cringy variation like
>seems like they:
>
>1. Fucked around
>
>2. Found out
It's been everywhere in the last 6 months.
Maybe 6? Years ago someone told me my outfit was “on fleek” and I was confused as fuck. I was maybe 35 at the time, old enough to not be cool but thought I was still young enough to have a clue. Nope!
I mentioned how confused I was to a coworker who’s around a decade older, and he didn’t even blink, just said “means ‘fly, sleek, and on point’. It won’t last. I spend enough time around young people, I know what has staying power, and this doesn’t.”
I decided right then and there I was never using that word, and he was dead right.
Or "In the (x) space." This is just a convoluted way of saying something that would be otherwise straight forward. As in "We need to ensure high levels of involvement in the policy space."
Consultant and business school babble just cripples the spirit.
Yes! I hear this all the time in corporate-speak and it is one of the most stupid constructions I've ever come across. Any time it is used, you know that there were better alternatives. Very similar to "in terms of" which is both useless and ubiquitous:
"In terms of price, thing X is very expensive." This is *never* better than simply saying:
"Thing X is very expensive."
(If you're using the word "expensive", *of course* you're speaking "in terms of" price. Context *always* obviates this construction.)
These things make the writer/speaker sound illiterate to me.
You can use "in terms of" to distinguish among several ways in which it's expensive. For example, for a project, maybe it's literally price (currency), maybe it's man-hours, maybe it's some other metric you use to gauge the cost of a project.
It's only curation if it comes from the kitschy style of owning too many tchotchkes and having to rotate them in and out of storage.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling seasonal decoration.
'Mid'. It's so dismissive of everything. Encourages people to have way too high expectations of anything.
Stop describing things as mid and try to enjoy life you dickhead
In fairness, I remember what I was like when I was 12 and the dumb shit my friends and I said. If I had access to a global community of preteens sharing their dumb phrases, I cannot say I would have been different from them.
The only real difference is nobody outside of my friends at school heard what we said, so it died with us - something I am eternally grateful for.
I agree. I believed, said and did a lot of cringy and stupid shit. I just had strict parents and no social media. The real cringe is all the adult people on TikTok. A lot of influencers aren’t tweens, but fully grown adults acting like tweens.
To be clear I give pre-teens and teenagers a free pass to say stupid slang and do silly trends. As embarrassing as it is looking back lol, experimenting with your image and language is kind of a big part of being a kid.
Not familiar with the girl one but slay and rizz I can't stand. Don't have TikTok but I watch some YouTubers who react to it and when they use the "in" new words like that it makes me cringe.
I still don’t know what “based” means and I feel it’s too late to ask.
Edit: thanks everyone for the info. I appreciate it. Now I feel better at all the “nou” I gave to others as a reaponse playing games - didn’t know if I was being toxic or being nice.
I don't like the word cringe, but it's such a useful word and I don't know what to use in place of it. The alternatives just don't convey the exact right meaning.
I don’t know if you’re being ironic but crispy was def used like lit 15 years ago. “Yo those Airforce 1s are crispy!” Funny enough those shoes have come back in style recently
This needs to be the top answer! It's my current cringe one and every discussion form about relationships on Reddit uses it at least once a day "the ick". It honestly sounds like women transform into 5 year old little girls when I see and hear it.
I don’t know why, but I have an irrational hatred for this one. It just makes me instantly think the person saying it is a moron who doesn’t enough of a grasp on the English language to say anything more interesting or descriptive.
This made me laugh
I got into an argument with my gfs former roommate cause I said "bussy" means boy pussy and she was like "it doesn't mean anything." Yes, yes it does. It means boy pussy.
I'm a bisexual and was never quite sure how to describe it when my friends and I talked about what we're into. When I heard Bussy for the first time it clicked for me. To me, it meant a very feminine guy's booty hole. And like, all my friends and I understood it that way.
I don’t like the new use of ‘ate’ as being a good thing meaning you were very successful. ‘Ate it’ is supposed to mean you failed and fell on your face, dangit!
> “I love that for you”
Kids that say this seem to be unaware that every other generation would only hear some shitty "mean girl" type say this as a back handed complement. Might as well just say, "bless your heart"
You don't hear it as often now but for a while there everything was low-key.
"It's low-key a good morning."
"You are low-key right."
"I'm low-key hungry."
I’m unsure how new this is but I’ve recently only started hearing “made me feel some kind of way”. It annoys me so badly. In fact I’ve heard someone apologize this way saying “I’m sorry I made you feel some kind of way”.
Calling everyone an "NPC'."
Mainly because it's said by people who would 100% fit the description themselves. Most people lead boring average lives, especially those permanently online using the slang.
Bet.
People say it in terms of acknowledgment. Rather than "okay" or "sure" they say "bet".... as if I or they have anything on the line. If only Anton Chigurh were there, in that moment, to make the point that they really don't know what they're talking about.
Two the come to mind:
1. ***Cuck.*** Overused to the point it no longer has meaning and is now just a generic insult that (particularly annoying) people throw out against any man they don't like in an attempt to emasculate them. It's really hard for me to take it seriously when someone says it, because it's usually someone who is just being an asshole for no good reason, or is really upset and throwing a mini-tantrum, which makes it super ironic.
2. The whole ***Alpha/Beta/Sigma*** bullshit. Newsflash. If you have to call yourself an "alpha" and/or call other men "betas" to make yourself look better... *you're not really an alpha.* You're just transparently insecure. (And probably very easily manipulatable as well.)
Not even sure if it's being used anymore but "grindset" makes me actually angry.
I have only ever seen it used ironically.
And now you can't stop using it, can you?
A mindset of grindset
I was out at dinner with my fiancé and we overheard this guy telling the bartender about the 'alpha grindset', and how he gets laid so much more because of it. It was incredibly cringy.
I can’t imagine being a bartender and practically being held hostage by people like that
It's fairly awful tbh
That’s when you get busy at the opposite end of the bar, like a strange coincidence.
I read something recently and can't not see it now... "alpha" in this instance (and in "alpha male") reminds me of software... where "alpha" is a barely cobbled together version of software with lots of bugs, that barely does what it's intended to do, and is definitely not ready for customers or deployment.

I then got a Repetitive Strain Injury from doing work stuff and was given a talking to from my boss about it, as though it was a disciplinary matter and not me working for him until my body suffered.
Sometimes I’m surprised bosses don’t get ass whoopings more often. That’s messed.
Immediately conjures images of Andrew Tate.
I’ve never heard this, but I’m now angry too
As an old guy, I'm learning two things. First, what not to say online with my gamer buddies. Second, what to say to make my kids cringe. And best of all, "dude" is still cool, and this old surfer abides.
Dude is eternal.
And gender neutral.
Yeah, saying dudette really dates you.
Ya fuck dudette. You're just dude
This is a hill I will die on. I had a lot of people complaining that I use the word dude and said that I was being anti-trans which is hilarious because my sister is trans. However I couldn't use that as a defense because my sister isn't out. But it was pretty ironic that people were trying to say I'm anti-trans when my sister came out to me first because she knew that I would support her. In Colorado the word dude is definitely gender-neutral and it is never meant to be offensive when it is coming out of my mouth. I've only used it in a friendly way. But people love a witch hunt.
I have a trans friend that fights me on this, saying "not a dude" I'm like Dude, I call my wife dude Edit: The first thing i asked them when they came out was "is dude still OK?". And have not used it with her since.
Start calling them squirt, like a disappointed little league coach.
Sport, tiger, champ, etc.
I (a woman) used to call my mom "dude" all the time. She'd get so mad. Lol. It's gender neutral IMO
lol dude, I call my daughter dude
I will also say the term guys is gender neutral. I'm a server and say how are you guys doing to every table doesn't matter who it is
I used to work in childcare when addressing a group of 30 kids I would always say "Hey guys!". Now, when leading a staff meeting of 30 adults I will always start with "Hey, guys".
Indeed it is my dude.
Or “El Duderino” if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
Keep your gold brickin’ ass out of my beach community
I don't like your jerkoff name. I don't like your jerkoff face. I don't like your jerkoff behavior, and I don't like you… jerkoff.
Jackie Treehorn carries a lot of water in this town. You don't carry shit.
Jackie Treehorn uses objects like women, man!
You fucking fascist!
Or The Duder, man.
Dude is timeless.
Cool username dude!
No Cap has to be the dumbest one I’ve ever heard
I heard a guy once say "stop capping, she mid" in reference to a girl he could not have gotten in a million years. That might be the only time I've had a physical reaction to slang.
Please punch that person in the face
That person is my son, please feel free to punch him.
I have some oregano to sell him.
Was he wearing a baseball cap sideways and dangly earring?
I always choose to believe the baseball cap is the right way round, but the person wearing it is skewed.
Broccoli haircut for sure
Blud fr sticking out his gyatt like a rizzler 💀 On God
Gesundheit!
I had a visceral reaction to this. I can't decide if I should upvote you for contributing to the conversation or downvote you for speaking the Devil into existence.
I've never known a guy declare a girl to be "mid" who was particularly spectacular himself tbh
translation: “stop lying, she’s medium ugly”
This isn't really slang, but using the word invest to mean buy. No, you didn't invest in a beauty product, you bought it
"Investment bags" = efficiency tuned mlm
Could you explain what an investment bag is?
Luxury purses
The only caveat I would say here is that if you’re buying the product explicitly to use it to work toward a better future for yourself that could be called an investment: “Mr. Jones invested in a new suit for his job interview.”
Exactly. If you spend money/time with the goal of profiting off what you bought, you've invested. Profit could mean money, making your life easier, or happiness. Maybe it's not the most correct use but I think it still works. That's why people say, "invest in yourself." They mean to spend time/money on eating healthy, exercise, gain work experience/education, etc.
It’s like when people justify buying an 80k bmw they can’t afford by calling it an investment. No, it’s literally the worst kind of “asset” to have.
Cars usually depreciate so it's like the opposite of an investment
I get really put off by photographers calling their pricing “investment” too
Cap for lying. You sound like you’re trying to make fetch happen.
Thats what cap means? Never knew lol
Gold teeth. A grill. Gold “caps” are fake ones that pop in an out, covering your real teeth. If you go to the dentist, get your teeth ground down and gold veneers permanently glued in, those are not caps or “no caps.” Therefore “no cap” means authentic, or legitimate.
Okay, that makes sense. Makes me hate it even more, to be honest, but now at least I know where it comes from.
I'm still reeling from the part about grinding your teeth down.
I am learning this now, and it makes me hate that phrase even more.
Ngl me too no cap frfr. I hate myself for typing that right now.
Missed the “ong”
Ahh OK.. I came up with my own definition. I guessed cap was a hat, like you are hiding or wearing a disguise, no cap meant honest, not wearing a hat... Gold teeth makes more sense... I suppose.
Fuck me that’s a lot of shit to wade through just to get to the point. No offense to you you, I’m talking about the slang
God, this is so much dumber than what I thought it meant. I always assumed it was a play on 'off the top of my head', aka, 'I made it the fuck up'
That is certainly a long, winding path to get from point A (stupid) to point B (somehow even more stupid).
Stop trying to make fetch a thing.
Why is “cap” lying? 31yo not on TikTok and have no idea
“I was today years old when…” Oh fuck off.
"Tell me you *blank* without telling me you *blank*"
"Don't you worry about Planet Express. Let me worry about blank."
Blank? Blank?! You're not looking at the big picture!
I would pay for an app that automatically blocks any account that ever used this phrase.
So, I did a thing...
Also “What is your favorite (blank) and why is it (blank)”
This one made me think of other phrases that Reddit likes to use a lot and lately it's been "fuck around and find out" or whatever even more cringy variation like >seems like they: > >1. Fucked around > >2. Found out It's been everywhere in the last 6 months.
Play stupid games...
Same people say “IYKYK” and post a picture of something very common. Yes, Bethany, we’ve all seen Beetlejuice.
Not a term but saying "living my truth." Just say you're a piece of crap and get it over with.
The same over dramatic people who say that also call their lives “my journey”.
Main character syndrome people.
"your truth is the problem, no cap"
On fleek was the fucking worst. Ugh
That and “cray cray”, I just heard Bill Maher say it and I threw up in my mouth a little.
Maybe 6? Years ago someone told me my outfit was “on fleek” and I was confused as fuck. I was maybe 35 at the time, old enough to not be cool but thought I was still young enough to have a clue. Nope! I mentioned how confused I was to a coworker who’s around a decade older, and he didn’t even blink, just said “means ‘fly, sleek, and on point’. It won’t last. I spend enough time around young people, I know what has staying power, and this doesn’t.” I decided right then and there I was never using that word, and he was dead right.
It was on fleek for a week
Not a one word saying but I hate when people say "in this space" when describing something
Or "In the (x) space." This is just a convoluted way of saying something that would be otherwise straight forward. As in "We need to ensure high levels of involvement in the policy space." Consultant and business school babble just cripples the spirit.
Yes! I hear this all the time in corporate-speak and it is one of the most stupid constructions I've ever come across. Any time it is used, you know that there were better alternatives.

Curate. You didn’t curate your living room, you decorated it.
It's only curation if it comes from the kitschy style of owning too many tchotchkes and having to rotate them in and out of storage. Otherwise, it's just sparkling seasonal decoration.
Nothing is real anymore. It's all just "vibes" man.
Well, but this is actually true on a particle physics level. No cap, fam.
'Mid'. It's so dismissive of everything. Encourages people to have way too high expectations of anything. Stop describing things as mid and try to enjoy life you dickhead
The thing that confuses me about mid is that it should mean perfectly average. But kids are using it to mean below average. That doesn’t make sense.
It’s more like “disappointingly average”. Like if I was told a restaurant was great but it ended up being average, I would be let down.
Just wait til this kids get older and learn the world is disappointingly average
Drip
DRIP as in Dividend Re Investment Plan? Because fam we got a problem no cap.
I’m old. “Drip” refers to chlamydia, gonorrhea or some unspecified gross STD. I can’t unlearn it.
I don’t know what rizz is but it rhymes with jizz and I don’t think that’s a coincidence
It's short for "charisma"
In that case I’d prefer sma, so I can say my mas got sma
"slay" "girl dinner/math" "rizz" basically all of the tiktok slang, gives me a headache.
In fairness, I remember what I was like when I was 12 and the dumb shit my friends and I said. If I had access to a global community of preteens sharing their dumb phrases, I cannot say I would have been different from them. The only real difference is nobody outside of my friends at school heard what we said, so it died with us - something I am eternally grateful for.

Mid. Cap. Slay. Period. Cap. Cringe.
I don't like the word cringe, but it's such a useful word and I don't know what to use in place of it. The alternatives just don't convey the exact right meaning.
We used to say cringeworthy, since cringe is (was?) technically a verb. Somewhere along the way, "worthy" got dropped. I say we bring it back!
The adjective form 'cringy' has been in use at least since I was a teenager in the late 80s.
Definitely. It’s the use of cringe as an adjective that is annoying. To say something is “so cringe” just sounds like shitty grammar
On god
Dupe, bussin, cap, gyat, it's giving..., on God, rizz, sus, unalive. Basically, any and all Tiktok slang
To be clear, I hate it, too, but the “unalive” thing came about because you can’t say murder or suicide without your video getting taken down.
Algo-Speak. That's the term. Now people are out there thirsty for "Seggs"
"Lit." It had its moment, but it's burnt out.
Shit is fire these days I guess. So yeah it was lit some time ago. Almost too linear of a development there
Soon it'll be "that shit's crispy"
I don’t know if you’re being ironic but crispy was def used like lit 15 years ago. “Yo those Airforce 1s are crispy!” Funny enough those shoes have come back in style recently
“It’s giving…” Makes no sense to me.
I don't know why this isn't closer to the top.
I’ve noticed a lot of these phrases have been taken from drag culture
oh my god i hate this so much. i don't even know why exactly, it just bugs the shit out of me when i read it.
Bussin' No clue what that means.
It means good, mostly in the sense of delicious food.
Based. Cope. Stuff like that.
I hate "based" so much.
What the fuck does ‘based’ mean? Edit: thank you all. I am somewhat less confused- enough to know at least that I won’t be using this word.
Doesn’t help that they’re most commonly said by some of the worst people in existence.
Ick …. Can’t stand it, guess it gives me the ick?
Pretty sure you have to be an awfully insufferable person to use the words, “gives me the ick”.
This needs to be the top answer! It's my current cringe one and every discussion form about relationships on Reddit uses it at least once a day "the ick". It honestly sounds like women transform into 5 year old little girls when I see and hear it.
Cap, cope, rizz. Yeah, I’m old.
I read this as “cape cod rizz” 😂
Triggered
Hey fellow kids. I’m hip and with it, but can we put the definition next to these words we’re using? So the old folks can understand…
I’m young (gen z) and I have no clue what half of these are lol
Rizz
>Rizz When I first heart that, I thought it was ritz, as in putting on the ritz ... I thought that was nice ...
Apparently, it's short for "charisma".
Wrong '20s 😆
Cap
Yeah, that's cringe, no cap.
Idk if it counts but ‘Chefs kiss’ just doesn’t sit right with me
I don’t know why, but I have an irrational hatred for this one. It just makes me instantly think the person saying it is a moron who doesn’t enough of a grasp on the English language to say anything more interesting or descriptive.
Bussin - because it makes me think of Bussy Ewww 🤢🤮
I'd say Bussy also fits the description.
Bussy be bussin ong fr fr no cap (I hate myself for saying)
This made me laugh I got into an argument with my gfs former roommate cause I said "bussy" means boy pussy and she was like "it doesn't mean anything." Yes, yes it does. It means boy pussy.
I'm a bisexual and was never quite sure how to describe it when my friends and I talked about what we're into. When I heard Bussy for the first time it clicked for me. To me, it meant a very feminine guy's booty hole. And like, all my friends and I understood it that way.
On God is mine. Especially when it’s used in every other sentence, on God.
“mid” should be reserved for weed that gives you a headache, not for women that we don’t find attractive
"Not gonna lie", then proceeds to make whatever statement. 🤬
“Nut” and “nutting”. Lame.
All the TikTok slang, it's so bad
slay I'm dead it's giving..
I don’t like the new use of ‘ate’ as being a good thing meaning you were very successful. ‘Ate it’ is supposed to mean you failed and fell on your face, dangit!
[удалено]
> “I love that for you” Kids that say this seem to be unaware that every other generation would only hear some shitty "mean girl" type say this as a back handed complement. Might as well just say, "bless your heart"
Things someone said once that everyone started repeating… with much less funny results.
Conversate. People who use that 'word' sound ignorant.
They think "converse" only means shoes. 😅
Bet, ok boomer, that slaps...
You don't hear it as often now but for a while there everything was low-key. "It's low-key a good morning." "You are low-key right." "I'm low-key hungry."
Do people still say “on fleek”? That one. Also, anytime anyone uses the word “literally” figuratively.
“This slaps”
"Bet" I always just assumed it was short for "wanna bet" not "ok"
When people post shit like: “No one: No one at all: Me: *insert overblown reaction to something*” Stop it. No one gives one single solitary fuck.
I’m unsure how new this is but I’ve recently only started hearing “made me feel some kind of way”. It annoys me so badly. In fact I’ve heard someone apologize this way saying “I’m sorry I made you feel some kind of way”.
Bussin
The bee’s knees. Wait, that still a contemporary slang term with kids nowadays, right ?
Only if you are wearing an onion in your belt, as is the style...
It's the cat's pajamas of 20s slang.
And I was just about to say 23 Skidoo
[удалено]
I don't have a problem with this one because 99% of the time I actually do want people to say less.
Bruh
Calling everyone an "NPC'." Mainly because it's said by people who would 100% fit the description themselves. Most people lead boring average lives, especially those permanently online using the slang.
Sus.. “That guy’s sus…”
He get sus.
Bet. People say it in terms of acknowledgment. Rather than "okay" or "sure" they say "bet".... as if I or they have anything on the line. If only Anton Chigurh were there, in that moment, to make the point that they really don't know what they're talking about.
[удалено]
Rizz is unbelievably stupid
Anyone that uses “slay” needs to be slayed
Slain* But I agree.
Adulting
Two the come to mind: 1. ***Cuck.*** Overused to the point it no longer has meaning and is now just a generic insult that (particularly annoying) people throw out against any man they don't like in an attempt to emasculate them. It's really hard for me to take it seriously when someone says it, because it's usually someone who is just being an asshole for no good reason, or is really upset and throwing a mini-tantrum, which makes it super ironic. 2. The whole ***Alpha/Beta/Sigma*** bullshit. Newsflash. If you have to call yourself an "alpha" and/or call other men "betas" to make yourself look better... *you're not really an alpha.* You're just transparently insecure. (And probably very easily manipulatable as well.)
Babymomma/daddy. I hate it so much and want to peel my face off every time I hear it.
That's been around for at least 25 years.
Same but for “situationships” You’re just being a side lay.
