This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Isn't the kid reading his book remarkable in the movie? Like, Dr. Grant's whole deal with these kids is realizing not all kids™ are bad, and this is the first denial of his expectations?

yes… also, all generations have stupid slang that doesn’t make any sense by itself, and they drop most of it as the get older….

Generations! People in the 90s talking about how dumb the 80s stuff was is the best way. The dumb belongs to the decade, not the people.

Exactly! Here are a few I remember from the late-90s, early 2000s:

  • Da Bomb dot com
  • Fly
  • Home Skillet
  • Not!/Psych!
  • Sup?/wazzap? - friends transformed to "wassabiii"
  • crunk
  • bad
  • biotch
  • served/owned - served is dead, but "owned" lives on as "pwned"
  • chillax
  • fo shizzle
  • holla

Most of that is probably unintelligible to kids these days, and most were all the rage when I was a kid. I say literally none of that today.
