As a younger millenial I gotta say some of these are ours. We were calling things “extra” since like '06. Vibe is as old as the hippies, and mid is weed slang from like the early 2000s.
Every generation uses old slang they mistakenly believe they invented.
Or in the case of ‘out of pocket’ every generaation just ignorantly bastardizes random shit.
Fax, no printer.
No baseball hat.
You down with OPP?
Yeah You know me
Yeah, our generation was streets ahead of those zoomers.
Ok Pierce.
Wait, those are real?
Unfortunately
I apparently live under a rock.
Gen Z has even ruined our programming!
TIHI
A third of those predate gen z. The complete nonsense words are definitely on them, though.
I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.
Ruru
Gyatt was originally just a different pronunciation of god: GOD DAMN! = GYATT DAYUM!
That actually makes sense, thank you for explaining.
I thought the youngsters these days were using thicc to refer to big butts, as in GYAT DAYUM DAS THICC
“I feel old”
Picture of something printed on paper
List is hella whack
So you’re playing a little Playstation, huh? That’s whack! Playstation is whack! ‘Sup with the whack Playstation, ‘sup?!
Wait till these dusky dewdrops get the vespers when they see my cut of cabbage.

I’m a very late millennial, borderline Gen Z, and even I feel like all my slang knowledge is outdated.
Here I thought OPP was other peoples pussy…
Original Poster’s Pussy
As for the ladies, OPP means something gifted The first two letters are the same but the last is something different It’s the longest, loveliest, lean- I call it the leanest It’s another five letter word rhymin’ with cleanest and meanest
Yeah you know me.
I got this as a fax, and it said I had to mail it to at least seven other people to be blessed.
Mine arrived in a mail box
“on god” is at least millennial, I heard that one 20 years ago
A bunch of these terms were definitely used before gen z used them. Vibe, as a slang term, is a boomer creation. Ick is even older, and was first used in the 1940s.
looks like a intern project at a graphic design shop. get that Gen Z kid to write us up a slang Rosetta stone!
I shall share a stolen… I meant a borrowed meme
Does ‘else if’ become ‘cap nocap’?
new Cope
is nutsSheesh yaas
No cap fr fr
But isn’t OPP other people’s… property or has that changed since Naughty by Nature taught us all what it meant?
No, it just shouldn’t be capitalized. It’s short for “operative” and usually refers to somebody you think is (or jokingly think is) working for/with the cops or feds.
It’s “Opp,” not OPP
I think it’s short for “opposition”, as in a rival gang
This. It’s definitely not operative lol
This makes vastly more sense in both gamer and hip-hop context than “opponent” does, so I’m willing to concede that this might actually be the right reading, as retroactively this fits in place of “operative” in the hip-hop settings I’ve experienced it in whereas opponent doesn’t.
Kudos.
Oh I thought it was short for “opponent” lol
That’s because it is. People who don’t understand just make shit up. That’s why the number of P’s doesn’t even line up.
I always thought opposition
It’s “opp” with two p’s but it’s short for “operative”, a word with one p? I’m starting to think that you don’t really know either.
Yeah and “rizz” comes from charisma but isn’t spelled “ris.”
And “OP” has multiple existing potential meanings still in common use today, so it makes sense to me to spell it with flair for the sake of clarity.
Slang is complex and morphs as it travels though; so do some folks use opp as “opponent”? Sure, that’s believable. But I feel fairly confident (never fully confident; I am fallible after all) that it’s original use comes from AAVE and more specifically hip-hop, where I again feel pretty damn confident it refers to an operative and not an opponent.
If I am wrong though, I would love to be corrected (with some verification of some kind) so I can be sure to reconcile the new info and not spread misinformation again. I’ll happily await your evidence to that end.
so do some folks use opp as “opponent”? Sure, that’s believable. But I feel fairly confident…
Bro, it doesn’t even have the right number of P’s for your reasoning to make any sense.
It comes from “opponent,” that’s why there are two P’s. It comes from video games/chess/card games/etc where you refer to the person or persons you’re playing against as the “opponent”. It’s been happening for many years but has made it’s way into gen z slang.
It’s not operative. It’s opposition.
Sounds like Narc would be the translation then…
Narc is more specific, opp is more general, so the youngin’s have opted for opp.
Every narc is an opp, not every opp is a narc.
But yeah, I think narc is closer than “enemy”, probably
OPP sure swerved
