Similar Stories to ‘rizz’ Vs. ‘skibidi’: Why Some Slang Words Stick Around And Others Fade Away on Bing News

Perhaps the greatest prank of all time happened in 1992, when a New York Times reporter looking for local color in Seattle’s then-exploding grunge scene interviewed a rep from the city’s Sub Pop Records—who fed him a list of phony slang terms, like “swingin’ on the flippity-flop.” (It supposedly meant: hanging out.) Lately though, whenever I come across some of the many recent articles about popular Gen Z slang, I get a sneaking suspicion a similar prank may be underway right now.
