My kids nickname at school is “sus” (it’s a derivative of her last name) and therefore when I volunteer with her class for field trips and stuff, everyone calls me mama Sus
This is the language of my household, and what delights me about this era of slang is that it's the first time in my memory when kids have gone this intentionally meta about it. It's not just new slang; it's this *specific* handful of words that everyone ironically overuses as a joke about over-use.
Frankly they might be the first generation to have ever embraced absurdism so deeply.
I wonder how much of it is the speed of information spreading and echoing back and forth, and how much of it is a cultural shibboleth to show group identity? Maybe a mix?

I can’t.
(I don’t know what that means, it’s just what my 12yo would say. Or maybe it is sigma idk)
