- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Has anyone ever found a slang term coined in the last decade that they unironically enjoy using?
Yeet
Yoink
This word is 3 decades old.
I am not fond of slang, but even I have to admit it is a fun word. It also has a great meaning. To throw something with great speed in any general direction but usually quite far.
He yeeted his phone out the window when he noticed there was a spider on the screen. It was not the best decision, but it was the choice he made.
Yes! It always makes me smile to hear it used. I think it sounds weird coming out of my own mouth, but it perfectly accentuates a funny story.
Hate that one. It just doesn't feel like something being thrown with force to me.
Vibe check is an interesting one
Fam isn't bad.
Vibe, cringe, drip, mid
Cringe is a very old and commonly used word.
Not even close. Gen Z/Alpha have shit taste for slang.
Yeah, that's what every generation says. I'm impressed by slang that stands the test of time, like "cool." It's been around for 80 or so years!
And most of them are right, it's why slang dies so quickly. Gen Z/Alpha are just particularly inept at it, probably from having their brains fried by social media.
Isn’t that what we’re both doing right now, getting our brains fried by social media?
Ya it's lit af tbh.
I don't know about you, but I'm partaking in digital discussion. Surely you can easily notice the difference between what's happening here and, say, a tiktok, right?
I like l33t. That's from the last decade, right?
No, that goes as far back as the 80s and was fairly common by the 90s.
Oh, thank you! You're so smart!
No, just old.
