I knew this the first time I said “rip” out loud.
Like RIP of a bong or RIP a line? Or RIP in peace?
Rip in rest
RIP in pepperoni
RIP in peace. But now I’ll say it even if I just drop my toast
I forget when I started saying LOL unironically…
I know when it started ironically at least. PurePwnage.

I still say cool beans.
No, no, that doesn’t count. That’s a classic bit of slang, not some trendy wave.
It was when the Jumanji cartoon was a thing! I’m just old.
Cool beans comes from the 1960s or earlier.
They brought it back briefly in the 90s, though!
They did and I thought it was new back then but I was wrong.
It’s like “bet” in that I thought that was also newer when it came back until I watched Eddie Murphy hosting SNL for the first time and he used it in the monologue.
Awesome possum.
Is this like the weird “criss cross apple sauce”?
Streets ahead, brah. The Brahm Meister.
and radical rice!
Same. I can’t stop. Pls help.
That phrase is just objectively cool beans, though
That is literally how language evolves.
Dude this meme is an absolute BANGER!

Cap
What does cap mean?
Lie
No cap
Literally the dumbest and most worthless gen z slang. It doesn’t save any time whatsoever. Why would you need slang for a very specific thing like lying?
Slang is for identifying the ingroup vs. the outgroup, not for efficiency of communication.

Especially when “cap” is already used to mean capacity limitation, like a bandwidth cap.edit: I should have looked it up rather than relying on my (mis)understanding from low-quality past conversations, where I thought this was a term kids tried to invent because it sounded cool.
Die mad prescriptivist
“Why do these men insist upon using ‘bully’ as an alternative to ‘ruffian?’ ‘Bully’ already has a meaning! They’re a prostitute’s bodyguard! I say, the English language surely is dying here in the late 19th century!”
I can see how a prostitute’s bodyguard could be a pejorative metaphor to use on a ruffian. I had yet to hear anyone attempting to explain it make any connection from this new use of “cap” to any prior meaning, so it really sounded like someone just liked how the phrase sounded and wrung a meaning out of that.
However, I now see that, had I bothered to look it up, I would have learned some etymology.
In Black slang, to cap about something is “to brag,” “to exaggerate,” or “to lie” about it. This meaning of cap dates back to the early 1900s.
History lesson: In the 1940s, according to Green’s Dictionary of Slang, to cap is evidenced as slang meaning “to surpass,” connected to the ritualized insults of capping (1960s). These terms appear to be rooted in the sense of cap as “top” or “upper limit.”
So, not only does the term actually connect to a meaning I initially thought it didn’t, but it also has a different cultural origin than I thought. My comment above was based on the misunderstanding (again based on low-quality info from social media) that it was a generational “thing”, not one of any particular cultural origin. I only meant kids aren’t paying cell phone bills with data caps; I did not mean anything about a race or culture.
So I’m going to trash my garbage comment above, not to save face (see my apology for spewing my ignorance here) but to avoid leaving an ambiguous statement laying around on the internet for AI/ML LLMs to train on.
