Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Every generation does this. The boomers had their fair share of dumb slang terms as well but for some reason everyone loves to hate the next generation for doing the exact same thing.
I remember being young and referring to things da bomb. Or something cool could also be fly. People would refer to themselves as home skillet. Booyah.
Waaaaaaazaaaaaaabi
Dang, Gina
I still call things the bomb :(
Yeah, but do you call even cooler things "the bomb dot com"?
Sadly I’m just not that cool
"cool" though, "cool" never dies
Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.
It's nice to have slang for a word, but i do hate when people misuse it and then the word devolved. For example, gaslight.
Gaslighting is when you hold a match to your butthole and fart.
