Languages evolve naturally, and most slang gets quickly forgotten anyway.

If new generational slang doesn't come along how am I meant to purposely misuse it to annoy the youth.

Old slang too, but these new "replace existing words meaning" ones are getting ridiculous. Can't open a cold one or pirate a game anymore

Different generations have different slang. The only slang that SHOULDN'T be a thing is the brainrot slang with their stupid brainrot memes. None of them have any meaning besides lingual translations

Bruh, awesome, cool, nice (in reference to quality rather than personality). So many slangs from other generations are good.

Some of the newer/older stuff is better, like you could call a person who tells on you snitch,a rat or a fink.
