I’m still trying to figure out “baller”.
I first thought this was a cooking thread.
Still true to day- for certain values of true.
Teen slang changes quickly so us “olds” and “rents” dont get it. Those terms are now obsolescent, of course.
Fab Gear!
Imagine a person who is a star athlete, or has skills and/or swagger reminiscent of one. That’s if used as a noun.
If used as an adjective, it just means “superlative”, usually also with hints of being ostentatious but in a good way. And it can be applied to inanimate objects as an adjective, as in, “I went to the best steakhouse in town and had a real baller dinner.”
Totes obs.
This is one of my go-to’s. I think I borrow liberally from slang of every decade.
Me too, but I draw the line at “6-7”.
Nice!
Also, try typing 67 into Google. No, go ahead. I’ll wait.
Oh. I googled 67.
It danced. I now understand. Don’t get it, but I see where it came from. And then went viral.
The reason I say baller is because of a funny thing my friend said many years ago. To get geeky for a minute, I told her I can’t stand Cyclops, the X-Man, because he’s a total douchebag.
She replied, “No, Scott Summers is a total douchebag. Cyclops is fucking baller.”
I had to concede the point.
(Aside: Did “baller” come from that Skee-Lo song?)
Exactement! As the French would say. Those Gen Z kids.
“Good Golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball”
I took “baller” to mean some kinda frenzied orgy. Dang.
Did not know the Rap culture meaning.
Baller is goated.
Googling 67 gets something.
Googling Plur1bus gets something.
Googling meteorite gets something.
Googling 67 Plur1bus meteorite doesn’t get a combination of all three.
Sad. You would think.
It is called a “double entendre”
I thought this thread was going to be about the show Chopped.
“It’s not clocking to you. It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business.”
Having a teenager in the house is so much fun. I am bemused that the verb ‘to cook’ can mean to think things over but also still retains it’s traditional ‘you’re screwed’ meaning from my era. So Gen Alpha slang allows the sentence, ‘He’s not cooked yet, let him cook.’ which is adorable.
And burning someone can be a cause for great admiration.
Especially if it is a sick burn.
(Though that slang goes back to my Gen X childhood.)
