No, "Ohio" has entered slang as meaning "boring hell", basically. All over.

That's not slang, that's just true.

Ugh, I hate gen Z's slang. It's just nonsensical babble and meta references...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's all slang!

I feel like the mainstream millennial slang was pretty tame.

Maybe this just means I'm officially old now.

Sure does!

All that and a bag of chips

I remember that being said ... a handful of times

followed by snapping your fingers 3 times in the shape of a Z seems like something a sane person would say?

and I barely remember that... certainly I don't remember it tied to the former.

or "bout it bout it rowdy rowdy"?

0 recollection of that

or "salty" or "scrubs" when not refering to sodium or doctors medical attire.

Fair.

Our slang, just like every generations slang, was the worst.

I was informed by a friend I'm actually thinking of gen alpha slang (and blaming Gen Z) with stuff like ... https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Skibidi%20Toilet

I guess it's just a matter of what's "normal" with folks around you, particular as a kid. I certainly wasn't in a slang heavy group of kids in general. We texted with (near) proper grammar and full sentences and also found the "r u k? bb" kind of stuff pretty cringe-worthy.

In this case it is literally just real facts about Ohio.

Except it's not... Ohio has Cedar Point, Kings Island, several well recognized museums, lakes, large state parks and a national park, hiking trails, bike trails, kayaking, just as diverse of a food culture as any other state in the big cities, 3 large metro areas, stadiums, concert halls, etc

The worst thing about Ohio for years has been the Republicans in the state house and this craziness that it's somehow a boring state. If you can't find things to do in Ohio, you haven't tried.

A rizzlers last thought should be of Ohio.
