Omg I understood every word of that - should I be worried now? :-P
Honestly, as a rapidly aging Millennial, only skibidi upsets and confuses me.
Same! I've never really gotten into internet slang, but I've always been able to understand it. Skibidi is the first time I am just truly lost
Skibidi is just a stupid YouTube video series that went viral - the same as all the other stupid memes that prior generations absolutely adore:-). It's an "in-joke" in that you either have heard of it or not, despite being sent around by elementary school children. It's not ah... uh... "good", in the classical sense, but it is somewhat remarkable in being made by someone easily with modern technology, and not needing any dialog it is understandable world-wide.
Here is a ~1 minute version that pretty much sums up what the whole thing is about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePNs-G7puA.
Anybody else feeling a smug sense of superiority knowing that this gen-Alpha "skibidi" meme was built with an almost 20-year-old Milllennial-era game?
I was forged in the fires of Gmod before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's balls, kiddo
Me to the creator of Skibidi moments before I'm kicked in the shins
Noooooooo. I want hamster dance, that baby, and Charlie the Unicorn. I can't handle the change.
For me "skibidi-bap" is a vocal flourish I'd hear in dub or reggae, like, not as classic as "booom selecta" or some others but it's up there.
Would you mind please translate to an elderly lady in her mid 30s? Thanks love
It's pretty close to actual English:
"Father, you have no charisma. You are fruitlessly pursuing the love of your wife for real, it's cringeworthy!"
"I might be shit, but your mother has a lot of charisma. My world is boring without her"
"She's the greatest of all time"
"Seriously?" "Yes for real."
I do think it's funny for the supposed child of the pair to call it a fruitless pursuit, but also kind of appropriate, age wise!
Time to get the birds and bees talk, fruit of the pursuit.
Holy shit, forty three year old millennial here and I actually got it right.
Now to celebrate with a nice ibuprofen for my back.
"Papa, you have no game. You drool over mama, seriously. That's cringeworthy!"
"I might be (???) but your mom got mad game. My world turns upside down without her. She's the greatest of all time."
"For real?"
"For real."
Skibidi in this usage means "bad."
"I might be bad (skibidi), but your mom got mad charisma (rizz).
As a Wisconsinite, Ohio being a term for lame is fucking awesome lol.
Elderly in the mid 30s?
Fuck.
I feel old anyway, but now I feel even older now.
Shit.
Ehm...
Get off my lawn, kids!
Us oldies being able to parse it, just means that it is now out of date. ;-)

Gyatt, yaaas shook!! Ima yeet this zaddy glazed, no cap bussin.
(people who know this realize that zaddy doesn't fit, but I was so desperate to work it in...)
this is a better contraceptive than condoms depending on who you ask.
I have no idea how I managed to understand that.
It's that wet quantum computer between the ears, flexing just a tiny bit.
Every day the Internet poisons our minds a little bit more.
I appreciate that Ohio now just means boring/lame. My friends who grew up there confirm this is accurate.
Unrealistic. The kid isn't on Tiktok or playing Subway Surfers mid-conversation.
I asked my daughter if she would have a skibidy night tonight or nah. She is 14.
Her response:
What?
What?
What???
Oh, you are saying skibidy. I thought I was having a stroke.
Very interesting YT clip from a linguist on exactly this. He traces its history and some origins go back quite a ways and lots come from the Black community, which should surprise no one.
The only thing I don't like about linguistics coming from the Black community is saying "axe" instead of "ask". God that triggers me.

Papa, you ain’t fly
Maybe but Mum’s da bomb. She’s the XD to my RAWR
She’s hella aiight
Oh snap?
Crackle pop
Father, thy woman driveth thee to lovers’ foppish folly
Forsooth, but dignity is coin I gladly trade for Cupid’s coveted ware — She is fair moonlight upon the waters of my soul
Speak narrow truth now Father for such promises my childish heart cannot but leap upon with faith
Tis ground I speak to catch thy eager feet, Child, and though it bury my ambition it lifteth me as well it quench my thirst
90's Edition:
Dad, you need to take a chill pill! You're totally buggin' out over mom and it's grodie!
Whatever, don't go there! I may be a scrub, but your mom is gettin' jiggy wit it! She's all that and a bag of chips!
Wazzzuuuuup!?
Waaaaaazaaaaaaap!?
Somehow I understand all 4 versions. I am a generational Rosetta stone
This new lingo was created on the Internet and it shows.
