Supersingular isogeny key exchange (SIKE) is very secure post-quantum replacement for Diffie-Hellman...

SIKE!

One's psyche (2 syllables) is one's soul/personality/mind. It's not a verb.

They all come from the Myth of Psyche (also 2 syllables) a princess loved by Cupid and disliked by his mom.

Could be. I just figured since it started in grade school, it wasn't intentional.

We had a campaign in Canada called "'That's so gay' is so yesterday" when I was in school. A lot of classrooms had stickers or posters with that quote. IDK how well it worked in general but definitely had an effect on me, especially since I was at an age where I didn't really understand what homosexuality even was, and one of my first exposures to the word was that it's not okay to use it as an insult.

XD is pretty rare as an emoticon now.

Also abbreviating you as u, to as 2, for as 4, etc. Probably because we have full keyboards and not numpads anymore.

You just described going down a Wikipedia hole too. Always a good way to procrastinate

Wanda Sykes did a PSA about this. It was put on YouTube 17 years ago. I don't know when it first aired.

Now I feel old...

Cartman was the first person I ever heard use it, by at least a decade. These days I hear a relatively small number of people use it regularly.

wtf is that? Isn't the second word a racist slur??

Sublime, not Weezer. But yes, great line!

Fo sho, mostly because growing up made me realize I'm never really sho of anything no mo.

I dig your vibe, dog.

Phat to me in the '90s meant either good, or big. But specifically big, gnarly stuff. Like jumping your mountain bike and getting phat air.

Isn’t the second word a racist slur??

Not that I'm aware of. This phrase was common with East Coast kids in the 1970s. It meant something like, 'that's cool' or 'amazing.'

I didn't learn until an embarrassingly late age that you shouldn't say "jewed them down" or "I got gypped" when discussing prices, etc. Once it dawned on me what I was saying, I felt pretty mortified, but I grew up hearing them as normal words. It was just a thing you say.

I say that shit all the time and teach my kids too. Pretty much has gradually settled into a term of serious admiration for particularly tasty art (of any kind).

I recall "Phat" being problematic. Especially since it was applied to thicker women.

Since it sounds like "fat", its use was generally followed with a "phat with a p" to clarify.

Making the short slang word void for being used easily and casually.

I did respect the approach of trying to change a word that's usually used to demean someone as a way to complement someone. But it just didn't stick.

Wait what? No, it's from Undone (The Sweater Song)!

Or am I coming down with the 'heimers?

Edit: It's actually Say It Ain't So. Alzheimers confirmed.

When something was "dry" it meant it was bad. Never heard it again after I finished middle school.

Shoot, my bad. I don't know why my brain told me Sublime, but you're obviously correct. Say it ain't so...

Same with me. Didn't even think of where it came from.

❤️

I'm old enough that teachers referred to us as the "retarded kids" not to our face at least but when they thought we couldn't hear them.

By us I meant the learning disabled.

I say "cool" though

I have some bad news for you...

Dag, pash, mole, cobber, drongo.

Rarely hear any of them these days.

Who you calling a dog, dawg?

I'm finna get my homeboys to whoop your ass, you dig homeslice?

Yo Bro, cool your jets.

The macdonians always used to say "Sick fish" and it meant "Really good".

"I fucking boffed it dude"

My parents considered it to be their greatest achievement that their kids say "cool" instead of "geil" (hot or sometimes horny).

It doesn't mean their mental process is slow. It refers to developmental retardation. As if the person's body is just going to "catch up" one day... Which is why it was a stupid thing to say all along.

Seriously? as far as i was aware that's a perfectly normal thing to say?

Hate to break it to you all, but Say It Ain’t So came out in 1994. When I was a kid (ish). 😉
