"Generation Alpha" Vocabulary

Skibidi toilet Ohio rizz.

"Sus" has been around forever and even middle-aged fools use it. Sigma is the new Alpha. I call bullshit on this list. That's not what junior high kids are really saying.

I admit I love any and all Alpha coverage, only because it makes Zoomers feel old and less important. They thought they were so special, but they're just another generation about to be supplanted by the younger, shinier kid on the block. Happens to everyone eventually, so go cry into your awful '90s jeans, cunts.

Having said that, I have mostly heard of "rizz" and I hate it already. Some of those others on the list are Zoomer nonsense, though.
