3 panel meme. First panel: “I made a new internet slang”. Second panel: “New or misused AAVE?” Third panel: “Misused AAVE”. :::
the other 20% is either 4chan incel language or something trump tweeted in 2017
When my son was a younger teen, I’d look up the cool new slang words, and casually throw them into conversations with him and his friends. I never tried to actually use them correctly. He’d groan and roll his eyes. His friends would laugh and think his dad was a nerd.
One time I said a word wrong and they all laughed. Soon they were saying it as a joke. Then it became a word they just used.
I never saw it used online, so I don’t think I made a change in slang usage anywhere else except for a small group of middle schoolers. But I find it funny how it became accepted so quickly. And then forgotten just as quick.
What was it?
Since language is an ever changing thing it can’t really be misused, it can only evolve.
I dunno they seem to have weaponized “woke” so that black people can’t compliment constructive viewpoints on ending systemic racism so
Yeah, it kinda can
Alternative logic. It has to be misused to evolve.
Words have meanings and when they diverge from the original definition, I refer to that as misuse (personal opinion). I don’t think misusing words is a bad thing. I’m just giving my input here.

Oh yeah, OP forgot opaque acronyms.

Whenever I read: AAVE, I like to imagine it’s pronounced like the halo theme.
