Nah, skibidi is and was always cringe and nobody was saying it unironically. It’s not slang, it’s a meme.

In League With SeitanWhat I don’t understand is why so many grown-ass adults are so obsessed with staying up-to-date with the latest slang fads en vouge with 12 year-olds. Who are you trying to impress?

There are three kinds of people in the world. One kind realizes the purpose of slang is to create a linguistic in-group, to display loyalty to the in-group by excluding the out-group, and decides not to use slang because they are good and kind people who don’t want to otherize people based on something they didn’t choose. The next kind of person realizes it and actively chooses to be an asshole because it’s more fun for them than being nice. The third kind is too stupid to understand. Which do you want to be?
You have an incorrect understanding of linguistics
Linguistic as in ‘of language’ not as in the university department that studies language.
Saying ‘you’re wrong,’ but not providing an explanation as to why, has the same ring to it as ‘If you’d just do your own research, you’d agree with me on vaccines.’ If you don’t want to take the time to explain, it’s worse than nothing to merely say ‘you’re wrong,’ and serves only to let you feel superior for a moment.
short hand is used because it is shorter, if it’s used enough it becomes slang
Nothing about being in the in group
