    Well. I think I’m officially out of touch with the newest generations slang terms. I only understood about half of that.

      I have many gray hairs, but here’s what I know.

      • Highkey and lowkey - obvious and subtle.

      • fax is “facts” - true. Often in the sense of agreement.

      • Fuck around and find out - do something risky and reap the consequences

      • It’s giving - how it makes you feel, or what it reminds you of.

      • Cap and no cap - lying and telling the truth.

      • Big yikes - bad, especially cringey.

      • Tea - (n) gossip. (v) “spill the tea”

      • Shoutout - give credit to someone. I don’t think this one makes much sense here.

      • Yap - talk, especially too much or unnecessarily.

      • Yeet - throw, often without careful aim. (Unlike “Kobe”, which is a throw with aim)

        You missed

        • Rizz = charisma
        • vibe check = Vibe is kinda like someone’s aura or energy. So to check their vibe is to call them out on it.

        Also got many grey hairs but I like to know what people mean and language evolves. Our generation did it too you get me blud.

                  Florida is basically the unofficial US Capitol now, so it would be confusing and ambiguous to have it associated with the traditional forms of unexpected insanity. Now it’s going to be an entirely new kind of unexpected insanity, so Ohio has been selected to represent the old kind of unexpected insanity that Florida used to represent.
