For me, it’s about people having to always point how something makes them so old that was popular in their childhood. And they never ever stop to point out to everyone and announce how old they are.
Like yes, we get it, time fucking moves forward. It is by design. What makes you so special out of the billions that came before you and the billions more that’ll come after you, about how old you are? It doesn’t make you special so shut up.
You’re not asking, you’re soapboxing.

You come across as a teenager who’s still upset about being grounded last week.
Man, I remember when I was a teenager and it was cool to complain about anyone else’s joy. Makes me feel old thinking about it.
Ok, but your “question” was basically “What’s something that makes you mad? Here’s mine:”
Yeah, but it’s the first time I’ve felt old…
Get over yourself. People say stupid shit all the time, you’ll understand once your older there skibidi toilet chum.
time fucking moves forward. It is by design.
Who said it is by design? Have you spoken with these designers?
Whoever it is, I would like to speak to their manager
Ok, Karen.
Actually… That’s mine. “Ok, Karen.”
All the places where time’s not moving forward, the designers are frozen.
Time’s still in the icebox, so to speak.

It’s fucking annoying and adds literally nothing to the conversation.
And every time I think I understand what people mean by it, I’m wrong. This one has got to stop.
It’s an affirmation that’s usually pulled out when someone’s statement goes against mainstream thinking.
Yeah I think I’ve seen that usage, but I’ve also seen it used as a negative put down rather than an affirmation. I just have a lot of trouble with this one for some reason. Anyone know where it comes from?

“My brother in Christ” before every stupid comment on reddit. I was over it the very first time I read it.
I like following verbal meme trends, then watching them die out.
Couple of years ago everyone described nearly everything as “spicy”.
The overuse if “hear me out” before making a mid statement.
That dark period of time when people used “amazeballs”.
Amazeballs was amazeballs, you shut your dirty mouth about amazeballs
You sound salty about their take on amazeballs.
Nothing like some nice, salty amazeballs
They’re packed full of vitamins and good for you
You know, I’ve said the exact same thing to people about my amazeballs. Successfully even!
There used to be a patisserie in NYC that sold amazeballs. Chocolate, caramel, salt, nougat, and a couple other flavor profiles. They were not good. Well, I didn’t think so.

“Society owes you nothing.”
Always spoken by someone who wouldn’t give if they felt they had to anyways.
Not really a saying but more of a term.
Sus
That thing needs to die
I’m surprised to see it became popular at all, considering its homophobic origins.
What?
Originally back around '03 when it first started making its way around, it was still short for “suspect,” but what was “suspected” was the person acting sus was gay. It was first a black slang word and quickly made its way to everyone else (as with most slang these days, of course.) It kinda died out a bit before '10ish, and then when came back, I think with that whole among us mess, it no longer carried the same homophobic meaning, but as I said I’m surprised to see a resurgence at all given its original meaning.
Source?
Pretty sure it just means suspicious and you’re probably projecting.
Uhh, source is being a public school kid at the time and knowing kids that would “steal you in the face for acting sus.” Unfortunately, as much as I’d like to revisit the homophobic past, my time machine is in the shop, but let’s see what google says.

However, a deeper dive shows the term has more complex origins. I’ve noticed that in everyday use, the term often conveys an underlying homophobia. The term “sus” often becomes the punchline to a comment about a guy’s feminine or “gay” behavior.
There’s a couple people saying they’ve heard it used the same way it originally was. You can be in denial that it used to be used for homophobic reasons all you want, idk why you’ve decided I’m some crazy liar enemy of yours, but frankly to me that’s what seems to be a projection in this thread. If me pointing out the origins of a phrase being less than favorable offended you in some way, I do apologize, wasn’t trying to offend.
Maybe it’s a generational or regional thing. Kids at my school just openly accused eachother of being gay, “gay” was also used as an insult or derogatory term.
If someone called me sus, or referred to someone else as sus, I’d just be blunt and ask them “suspicious of what?” and force them to say it.
Well, regardless of that, it is/was used for homophobic reasons.
Sus became popular from Among Us. Because of mobile players on text chat.
Among us wasn’t around until like 2020, the events I speak of are around 2003, thus it became popular before for homophobic reasons, and then had a resurgence around 2020, which is what I’m surprised about.
The links I provided contend it was still being used in a homophobic manner in 2020, too, as they don’t say “used to be” but say “is currently” 4y ago, so supposedly they were experiencing it then too rather than from memory like me.
I’m sorry to be the one to break the news to all of you, I guess.
