        Elderly in the mid 30s?

        Fuck.

        I feel old anyway, but now I feel even older now.

        Shit.

        Ehm…

        Get off my lawn, kids!

        It’s pretty close to actual English:

        “Father, you have no charisma. You are fruitlessly pursuing the love of your wife for real, it’s cringeworthy!”

        “I might be shit, but your mother has a lot of charisma. My world is boring without her”

        “She’s the greatest of all time”

        “Seriously?” “Yes for real.”

          I do think it’s funny for the supposed child of the pair to call it a fruitless pursuit, but also kind of appropriate, age wise!

          Time to get the birds and bees talk, fruit of the pursuit.

            Yeah well, that’s just my translation of “simping” in this context while trying to avoid using slang myself.

            “Unsuccessful courting” might be better.

            I’m not sure if it’s really used in the context of married people.

              not sure if it’s really used in the context of married people.

              My flirty comments usually got the well-deserved eye roll from my partner. And I would do anything they ask for, unconditionally. They would, too, but usually managed to do it before I had the chance to ask for anything. Definitely the GOAT.

              I can see how to a child this may look as simping.

        Rizz = Charisma Simp = Insult basically meaning somebody who would do anything to get attention from someone (typically a man wanting attention from a woman) No cap = No lie/For real

        Skibidi = ??? Mad = Intensifier ; So mad rizz = Immense charisma Ohio = Boring/Dull GOAT = Greatest Of All Time FR = For Real

        All I could gather from skibidi, even with googling as it was the only one of two (ohio being the other) I had no about, was that it changes meaning depending on the sentence

        e.g. Sick can mean ill or awesome, (The) Shit is good and (This is) Shit is bad

          I have found that “skibidi” can simply be replaced by “crazy” in every usage that I have seen do far. It’s just that people who use skibidi would probably not use crazy in the same way.

        “Papa, you have no game. You drool over mama, seriously. That’s cringeworthy!”

        “I might be (???) but your mom got mad game. My world turns upside down without her. She’s the greatest of all time.”

        “For real?”

        “For real.”

          Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It’s an “in-joke” in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It’s not ah… uh… “good”, in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.

          Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.

            Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha “skibidi” meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?

          Skibidi doesn’t have a universal meaning as a slang word. It gets tossed around differently depending on the group of friends using it.

        For me “skibidi-bap” is a vocal flourish I’d hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as “booom selecta” or some others but it’s up there.

          Old millennial with a middle schooler, so I learn enough to screw with them. If you have rizz, you’ve got charisma, if you are rizzing, you’re using charisma to flirt. Skibidi I’m guessing on, but it’s something that’s just generally whack, to use our own generations slang. Ohio is not one I’ve heard, but I’m guessing just a metaphor for a general state of pathetic, just like the state itself.

            It’s funny how you hit the nail on the head with Ohio perfectly since that’s exactly the origin of it, people notices how there’s nothing ever going on in Ohio and it just evolved from there.

    how to i pronounce fr? (even if i don’t say it out loud i gotta pronounce it in my head)

    do i expand the acronym and say “for real” (e.g. /fə‿ɹiːl/) or do i say /fɹ/ like in fruit?

      It’s halfway in between. You say “f’ree”. It sits in the spot between 1 and 2, like a wobbly and uncertain syllable, that lingers as “mine” beyond “me”.

      Notice how the former is longer than the latter, despite being the same number of notes. A warble, a wiggle, a bridge between meters, “FR” is timed out like “baroque”.

      Pretty sure it’s just expanded and pronounced “for real,” so frfr would be “for real for real.”

        i don’t understand why most people on the internet don’t use IPA for conveying pronunciation

        while it is more complicated, and unless you are a phonology nerd, you have to look things up (including me), it is incredibly more concise

        it is, in fact, the only way to concisely convey any pronunciation (excluding single language focused phonetic notations)

        different english dialects have different pronunciation: e.g. fur can be /fɜː(ɹ)/, /fɜɹ/ and /fʌr/

        While this is not the case for your comment, others also use made-up words for conveying pronunciation. Ghoti is a perfect example why that is problematic.

          Not sure if you’re looking for a legitimate answer or not but I can provide my take: to me, looking at that standard, I cannot make heads or tales of the pronunciation at a glance. Learning a whole new set of symbols and standards is simply more effort and less efficient in the long run when considering the amount of necessity actually required. I.E. it is not an incredibly common everyday issue. It can also be meaningfully resolved with something more linguistically universal (the known and taught alphabet), so the time spent, the effort expended, does not pay dividends and ultimately the half measure typically works near equivocally.

          I am aware of Ghoti (fish) and Ptoughneigh (Tony) but really, those a more fun experimental ways to twist pronunciations and examples given generally sick to things people would know and understand the way to pronounce, and if not, could also be easily fixed. Even so many would not even second guess because the importance is usually of such low value that it can be wrong until corrected, further diminishing the value of learning a more rare and nonstandard (for general communication) standard.

          Different dialects do tend to have slights to the pronunciation but again, it just feels like such a non-issue.

          That’s simply my layman take as to why I wouldn’t learn it. I can’t speak for anyone else
