The kids’ new slang is fucking stupid. My son last night was excited about his skills in the game he was playing and told me he was " cracked " … cracked?
Man, like, I know we used " bad " to mean good, but come on. Cracked? Cracked is a crazy person. Cracked is how we pirated computer games. Cracked is your engine block after you poured cold water in an overheated car.
This is even stupider than " crashing out " meaning you threw a temper tantrum instead of falling asleep after an up all night acid trip.
Actually I just remembered that, even some 20 years ago (possibly more) in France, we used to describe OP characters in videogames as “craqués”, which could mean “broken” or “cracked”, so I was not weirded out by this one, as the meaning is similar enough.
I wonder how “cracked” came to be and whether this is one of the only contemporary instance where some French slang may have influenced the English one somehow? Probably just a coincidence.

One day as I was leaving for work, my penultimate daughter said “mom, that fit shreds” and I was like, excuse me, WHAT did you call me?
“Your clothes are great!”
My outfit, it shreds. Apparently.
I don’t hate it but don’t remember being very slangy as a teenager.
Shreds is what Kerry King does on the guitar.
But “shreds” literally means clothes.
Lemme axe you why you rizzed bruh or you cooked i cant even thirsty

I swear gen-z just doesn’t know what certain things mean so they just make up a meaning on the fly.
It’s like they speak AI hallucination.
