Does anyone else feel like the generation of new fad words is speeding up over time, to make up for the fact that adults catch on and start using the words themselves quicker due to social media?
Feels like once a week they meet up like “Damn! The adults have learned about ‘no cap’, we need a new term!” “How about ‘drip’?” “But we already have ‘on fleek’.” “That’s been lost to the millenials already!”
It’s very easy to look up new slang words to see what they mean with the internet, unlike in ye olden days. They have to constantly use new lingo to try to keep the olds confused.

yes, and a lot of these words are recycled from older slang too

Yes, but also I’m pretty sure every old person who ever lived since the invention of language has thought the same thing at some point.
