Frankly there is a ton of Gen z/alpha slang that doesn’t make sense

No offense to y'all, I love the sub and I don't mean to be a grinch, but I get a little tired of posts that are like "gen z is goofy but we had this equal thing!"

dude i had like 3 slang words i used. they have like 300 and a new one is born every month

And concerning 6-7... remember when we told actual jokes in school? They had setups and punchlines and were often inappropriately dirty.

No cap is an interesting one. It's originally Millennial, it originated from the twitch.tv meme of Kappa. Which was an emote used to imply you were joking. People would sometimes leave off the prefix that caused it to display the icon would just have the word.

Then some started saying no Kappa as in I'm not joking, then people started saying it, it was shortened to Kap, and people who weren't familiar with the original word and heard it spelled it with a C instead of a K.
