Teaching the youth about freedom in the US.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I actually get it in an English class. You're there to teach them vocab not let them crutch along on slang.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I think any teacher worth their salt can teach English and draw the parallels between modern vernacular. I would like to believe teachers can do both.

I'd even go so far as to call teachers who refuse to adapt to the change in "slang" lazy.

This seems like a joke from some Michigan school teacher ... similar to how a lot of Ohio State football fans say *ichigan and things

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago (12 children)

No, "Ohio" has entered slang as meaning "boring hell", basically. All over.

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

That's not slang, that's just true.

Seems like one of those annoying strict teachers to me lol

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I think you underestimate the increase in the difficulty of teachers jobs in the last 5 years. They’ve lost a lot of their ability to even teach due to internet parenting and brain rot.

Apparently these rules exist in my house also. Just today, my Gen Z kid forbade me from ever saying rizz or Ohio again. Luckily, I don't live near Ohio, so I don't need these words for any functional purpose. In particular, she told me that Ohio has been over for, like, a year and I'm out of date on slang.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

What I always love about it is that it's only outv of date in her age group social circles and it was out of date when she was using it too.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Banning slang is just gonna lead to the invention of new and more annoying slang. This is exactly how we got in this situation.

[–] netvor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

or more people learning and possibly adopting slang.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

My mom works in a school with 1st through 5th graders. She messages me like twice a week for me to explain slang to her so she can know if she needs to explain to a child that it's wrong to say. I've learned so much new slang.

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

All joking aside, assuming this is a public school,

Schools are not Constitution Free zones.

They are government institutions and they just can't limit free speech like this, for terms that are not disruptive or vulgar but that the administration simply don't like for personal reasons.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ohio deserves this.

[–] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dull / boring / simple

What's wrong with let him cook?! This list has some Ohio Rizz for sure

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I need someone to use all of these in context. I can't even begin to guess.

[–] constnt@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Skibidi - from a YouTube series made in source engine. Means "bad"

Sigma - alpha as in alpha male. Beta as in beta male. Sigma is a 3rd which means you follow neither alpha or beta but go your own way.

Rizz- short for "charisma"

Mewing - an act of contracting tongue /neck muscles to make your under chin area contract changing the shape of your jawline.

Gyatt - "god damn" - a big old butt.

Bet - "wanna bet?" Aka "yes"

Bussin - "busting" really good

Ohio - bad or mid "from Ohio"

Let him cook - let him do his thing. He's got this.

Baddie - hottie. Sexy.

It's the _ for me - pointing out the specific thing you enjoyed.

Having lived in Ohio for 30 years, its honestly not that bad I dont understand the hate? I've been to most surrounding states and I feel like its better than Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. I havent been to Pennsylvania yet though.

Ok I'll just say it, I stan Ohio. Haters gonna hate.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (5 children)

No way you're better than Michigan...lmfao. what are u smoking cuz it's not that legal weed.

Ohio fucking sucks.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've only visited either state and Michigan had a HELLUVA lot more going for it. It's not even remotely close.

And I Hate U of M. (I mean I hate the Buckeyes too, who calls themselves "THE" Ohio State? No on else wants to call themselves that shit.)

Have you lived outside of Ohio?

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I've been to well over 30 states (it's been a while since I got an official count) and stayed in some for nearly a year

I read somewhere that Ohio is like the US on default and I agree! It has a some of everything. It has lakes, coastline and rivers. Suburbs and cities. Factories, forests, and farms. All four seasons but they aren't known for being extreme. No crazy natural disasters like hurricanes, fires or earthquakes. Even politically we're balanced enough to be a swing state. A flag that's more recognizable than plain blue with a hard to see logo in the center.

Ohio might be mid, but that isn't always a bad thing

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like you’re infected with the Ohio mind virus.
