global warming :(
it’s Black American English not “gen z slang”
a lot of online (which is where gen z stuff comes from) culture is just black american culture, it’s not particularly different from how most european languages have a bunch of french loan words.
it’s really different actually since other Europeans adopting french terms is a result of french colonialism conferring an allure of prestige to french terms. the reason Europeans were desperate to integrate french culture was because they also wanted to enjoy the spoils of colonialism.
whereas people using BAE outside of its cultural context perpetuates a relationship of parasitic colonial extraction, not of symbiotic cultural exchange as most white people would claim
Or, like, white Americans adopting any other culture from black Americans.
Hmm, looks like it has been used by a variety of people for a while. This is what I could find, but if you have a better source for that claim, I am open to correction.
All American counter culture comes from the black community.
Counter-culture? I’d go as far as saying most American culture ultimately comes from the Black community. It’s usually either them or the queers (and quite often, Black queers!)
“Gen Z” is American, “Black Americans” is American.
I don’t see the difference. 's both American.
you seriously think there’s no difference between Black Americans using this term since the 70’s and white kids on TikTok appropriating language?
bro is getting cooked by the word cooked
based? based on what?

I asked my friend about this and he told me I’m a good Oregon for not knowing what it is… I dunno if he’s right >~<
chat we’re cooked 💀
sorry, but if you’re already sick of that word…
They’re cooked.
Take the perspective of things that get cooked.
If you’re being cooked, things aren’t exactly going your way… Others around you are having a great time though, dinner is served.
As to being sick of it; OP, you may be turning into a crotchety old man… Not cool dude; that’s like, totally lame. :P
I miss deep fried
Makes more sense to me than “based” or “cap.” Frfr.
That’s because everyone is cooking
Youtube videos: This guy is COOKED! His career is OVER! (nothing is going to happen and everyone will forget in two days).
Oh shit, looks like OP is crashing out_!_
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.
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
Bro cooked but nobody ate it 💀
What this means please.

UD is heavensent for people like me who have to use YT channels like Lessons in Meme Culture (LIMC) to keep up with the kids, but have typically no idea what the new slang means.
They know you’re allowed to say “fucked” right?
