What makes skibidi not a real word? Sure, it’s a nonsense word often used to replace other words, but it still carries some meaning, even if vague
Remember that linguistics isn’t just about high brow standard written/spoken language, it covers all types of language, including slang, body language and sign language
There are real linguists with real qualifications who have actually studied gen Z and gen alpha slang and gotten scientific conclusions out of it
I believe one linguist who studied it was able to either impress or embarrass a high school by speaking entirely in correct gen Z/gen alpha slang
Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.
Dude, that’s totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like “epic fail” anymore
At least epic and fail are actual words.
What constitutes an “actual word”?
Ones that are not skibidi

A word that isn’t a direct code for another word is what I meant.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.
Well I think it’s nifty.
Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.
“Cool” has had greater longevity than i expected.
Psssh, next you’ll tell me people aren’t saying “hail to the king, baby”?
