Gen-X Has Absolutely Zero Tolerance For 11 Slang Words That Gen-Z Totally Loves

A new “culture clash” post argues that Gen-X has little patience for slang words that Gen Z (and in some cases Gen Alpha) uses daily. The article lists 11 terms that older generations reportedly struggle to tolerate, starting with “rizz,” defined as showing charisma to a romantic interest. It also covers “cap,” used to call something a lie or to say “no cap” for emphasis, plus gamer-style “major W / major L.” Other examples include “unc,” “cooked,” and “delulu,” which began in K-pop fandoms. The piece also references an earlier “Rizzler” variation and links several phrases to schools and social media.
