    I don’t really care too much about which slang words we decide to carry forward. I’ve long since adopted rizz and -ussy, and like delulu being added here.

    I am a little bothered by the fact skibidi doesn’t have a definition. I feel like words should have a meaning if they want to be added to our official lexicon. It seems like skibidi is just a sound children enjoy making.

      Delulu is just a spin on another word, rizz is the same

      Random affixes are common enough that it’s normal no matter how weird any given one is

      But skibidi is literally a filler nonsense word. It’s like if we just put random scatman words and beatboxing noises into the dictionary. It’s babble, which would mean it has a place in the dictionary as an example of babble or gibberish.

      But it doesn’t actually /mean/ anything by it self. So it’s just weird to see it getting added as a “word”.
