What are some gen-alpha slang phrases that I (as an extremely uncool 40 year old man) can use around my friend’s teenage kids to watch them die of cringe?

It literally doesn’t mean anything
Skibidi (i have no idea how to use it correctly just call things skibidi)
Brainrot (call literally anything dumb brainrot)
I can make my son wince by asking him and his wee pals if they’ve been watching videos on Tic Tac and also randomly saying “slay.” Slip in a few terrible dad jokes / puns, and you’ve cracked it.
When they say something you agree with say “bet”. Works everytime.
Mix in some 90s slang with it. Rizz=game like flirting, and Rizzler = player, like someone who’s good at flirting, so something like “Whatup peeps, my man here be da rizzler fo real, yo!” Will give them an aneurysm.
Ask them if they’ve been “aura farming”
Tell ’em you started rizzing your whole glizzy off on the reg.
No cap.
Not a dude, sorry!
But one that makes me want to scream every time is “finna”. I think you basically use it to say “I’m gonna do something”, but they say “I’m finna do something”
Why? I DONT KNOW 😫
I think it’s more of a hood rat phrase, but it drives me crazy.
I got you , my guy. 👍
Proclaim yourself as giga-chad and flex your muscles
Its best to use the dead memes that aren’t being used as much or at all any more. The following is a forbidden technique not to be deployed lightly:
If you find yourself in a situation where you are eating something around them take your first bite and hit them with, “SSSSSHHHHHEEEEEESSSSHHH this shit is BUSSIN’. RESPECTFULLY.” Then throw your hand out to one of them like the whitest guy you know trying to get a fist bump or five from a cool black guy. Bonus points if they try to do the fist bump and you do the five instead or do the fist if they go for the five.
These memes are about three years past their use by date so this method is scientifically proven to induce dangerous levels of cringe in teens.
“YO DAD CHILL THE FUCK OUT! My son is a sophomore at Indiana University and he rips me on that one all the time in front of his friends!
If they’re young teenagers throw in a skibidi or two.
If something is cool it’s “streets ahead”. If it’s not then it’s “streets behind”
Example: man I wish I had your car, it’s streets ahead, I have to drive my parents old PT cruiser, shit is streets behind.
take all the suggestions, look up online how to pronounce them and make up your own wrong way of saying them
example, saying skibidi as “skibaidi”
Say finna a lot
“No cap” means that you aren’t kidding and are serious about what you are saying.
I use to work with a great guy who was honestly pretty cool. A new, young guy started working with us who just worshiped this other guy and would use his catch phrases, etc. I convinced the “cool” guy to start saying “mama got a banana butt” all the time just so new guy would copy it, which he did while not knowing what it meant. That wasn’t hard since it literally meant nothing. The best part was watching him try to figure out what the appropriate time was to use the phrase. Hilarious.

I like to say I’m feeling kind of skibidi.
Use ‘skibidi’ as a positive adjective. “Wow, that’s so skibidi!” etc. I gather that ‘skibidi’ carries a connotation of being original or rebellious, so it’s even more cringe if you use it for something that’s actually traditional and mundane.
Just say bruh anytime they tell a story, an anecdote, an opinion.
Hell, just say bruh anytime they finish talking.
Just say low-key fax to anything that is said or mentioned by you or them.
The word “gyat” does it for me
Might just be the “old dude making a raunchy comment” type of cringe though
Reply to them “Type shit” When they share an opinion. It means you agree
My kids hate when I use cap/no cap. They hate it soooooo much. It makes me so happy.
Cap = lying/not true/bullshit
No cap = true/for real
Sus also gets reactions. And if you can throw in a rizz… man, that will fuck them up.
Rizz = charisma/game
I have yet to decipher the exact meaning of skibbity, but you can usually just throw it out there in combination with other slang and it seems to land ok.
Have fun man!

Jesus I hated when my boomer parents did this to me, please don’t do it guys.

Have your wife or significant other call you, daddy while they’re in the room! Watch the dry heaving commence 😂🤣😂🤣
Also if they’re inside a lot, tell them to go touch grass 👍
Works on my boys like a charm!
“Skibidi Ohio, fellow gigachads. Mogging hard, or hardly rizzing fr fr “
Have Mom call Dad, “daddy” and watch them all unalive themselves. Extra bonus points if done in public.
Call them “chat” and ask if they been “mewing”
If they decide to show you anything, simply reply with “based” or “that jawn crazy”
Call them “unc” on the reg. If they interrupt you while you are doing something say “Hole up, let me cook.” If they take a big drink of something, say “Whoa, gettin sendy with it.”
Refer to yourself as “Rizzler” or “The Rizzler”
Just watch xiamanyc his gen a speech. It comes with subtitles.
Slay dude, get that W

If this is real don’t try they like and respect you for your age. You can’t fit in, if your burning with the youngins like when I was a youngin just be you that’s the coolest. Also keep them safe at all costs!

6 7
Whenever they ask a question that has a number as the answer say “6 or 7” – they think this is hilarious for some reason. My daughter is all about it
“that’s so 6 7”.
Use it to describe anything, good or bad 👌
Skibbity, Ohio, Mid, Low-key, deadass, the Ops, aura.
You gotta have rizz but dont go all cap cause that can be sus. Slay if you feel zesty boots down werk.
when someone does something impressive/really well, say “you ate that _____”
Just point to [anywhere on your kids skin] and say “Is that hyper-pigmentation?”
Quickly followed by “Where the huzz at?”
Watch your kids die inside. 😝😝
Following for a friend
I choose Charlie.
Anytime they say a verb say “Kid named verb?”
Comes from the kid named paint meme,
“Ok class today we’re going to finger paint! 🎨”
Reaction image :O
“Kid named paint” ?!?
Ask them to see their bussy
Ask if they been rizzin up any ladies
“ Are you ok? “Translates to “you Gucci bruh?”
We will have fun = it’s gon be lit
Not lying to you = no cap
This food is delicious = this is bussin’
Put the fries in the bag
six seven 🤷🏼♀️(hand wiggle like I don’t know)
Video Game machine = Game Boy.
Anime = Animoo
Pokemon = Pikachu
Nice = Yas Queen Slay!
Charm = Rizz
Butt = Gyatt
Hotdog = Glizzy
I dunno slip in some old lingo Booyah or the bees knees.
Refer to good food as “bussin”
Yo Home skillet 🍳 what’s the 411 on Homework today HomeSlice?
My 15 and 11 year old are giggling as I read these responses to them.
Say 6-7. With no context. Also saying cringe is now very cringe, especially if us old people do it.
And say something is skibidy if you like it.
When something is good or cool say Purr 🤣🤣
“Skibidi toilet to you, my fellow Rizz gods, keeping it 100 sigma no cap?”
Ok so, this might not be relevant, but it had me in fucking stitches. I’m a middle aged gamer, and some of my coworkers invited me to start playing FortNite with them. We always have a good time and it’s just our little group. Recently we tried a new game mode and it paired us with two kids, and one of them kept saying “bust ‘em wide open”.
So I ask “what does bust ‘em wide open mean?”
And the kid goes “idk? Their crotch?”
I was deceased.
If they ask you to do something – bet I was finna do that after I ate lunch and shi
Bruh
I enjoy combining different generations slang on my teens/preteens. Whenever I do something they think is particularly cringe I’ll look them in the eyes and say “Don’t be crimping my rizz, yo”. Followed by a “no cap”
It’s so funny to say people saying “bet”. I’m 35 and bet was around since I was in college maybe earlier
Six Seven, Skibidy, Brah’, Yo’, What the Moo? (My daughter made that one up), Noice, Yaas, Omg, Slay, Real, Cringe.
Tell them they are sigma
Any time they are being annoying tell them you are gonna crack them. This means like “whip yo ass” kinda but it’s not usually super harsh so it’s like stop messing around. Very good
After someone explains a “cool story bro type conversation” go with 🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏 (five times). It’s the hand gesture that looks like you’re imitating a bird talking — you might have to check it out on YouTube. A lot of young people use it, and I’d say it’s kind of like the sign-language version of saying “yaaasss” or “tea.” 😂
Clock it! “Agreeing or a response like “got it/bet”. 😂
“What the helly”… aka wtf
They best way to do it is to intentionally say them slightly wrong.
This example is a bit outdated, but….
“Those whatever are something as AF”.
Six. Seven……
I like to mispronounce shit on purpose.
“This shit is bustlin’!” Got a huge eye roll from my daughter once.
Here’s a teacher who recently did this at a high school:

>to watch them die of cringe?
Good start
“pog” or “poggers” for “cool” – bonus is it’s already considered dead slang/mainly used ironically so extra cringe
Instead of saying “what?” As a response, say “bruh.”
Example:
“Bruh,.that’s what I was thinking. “
My kids tell me their teachers are teaching them the slang, no cap
Call yourself “the rizzard of oz”
