I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.

But isn't OPP other people's.... property or has that changed since Naughty by Nature taught us all what it meant?
No, it just shouldn't be capitalized. It's short for "operative" and usually refers to somebody you think is (or jokingly think is) working for/with the cops or feds.
It's "Opp," not OPP
Yeah you know me!
Sorry, 42 years old, force of habit.
Yeah you know me!
You down with O.P.P.?

As a younger millenial I gotta say some of these are ours. We were calling things "extra" since like '06. Vibe is as old as the hippies, and mid is weed slang from like the early 2000s.
Every generation uses old slang they mistakenly believe they invented.

"I feel old"
Picture of something printed on paper
Ick is just short for icky and vibe has been around for decades.
Gnarly list.
The whole trend is nothing new. Millennials and some GenXers were stealing all their slang from American rappers when they were young, too.

I seem to recall when they were translating "grunge" slang and it was also mostly bullshit not actually used.

Not rather Gen Alpha already? I too am kinda getting lost here, as a Gen Z.
I swear to god half of the slang from memes like this is just aspirational. Pretty fetch imo.

I'm a very late millennial, borderline Gen Z, and even I feel like all my slang knowledge is outdated.
Wait till these dusky dewdrops get the vespers when they see my cut of cabbage.

Opp? How can I explain it? Take it frame by frame it, to have y'all all jumping, shouting, saying it? O is for other, P is for people, scratch your temple, because the last P? Well that's not so simple..

I think 'mid' means middle or mid-grade weed, which means a similar thing as 'mediocre' like the chart says.
