I honestly don't remember ever having this kind of slang when I was a kid. If anything, our slang was borrowed from previous generations. ("Dude, that's cool.") I'm an old millennial, and I speak the same as Gen X and Boomers, it feels like. I never remember my parents asking "what the hell are you saying?"

Am I just forgetting? Is there a late-90s, early-00s equivalent that I've just purged from memory?

I saw a post about slang being linked to platforms shadow blocking and de-monetizing posts with key words i.e. dead, suicide etc. Which lead to "not alive" slang, or something similar.

I'm too old for this.
