    I’ll never forget the day when I signed off, “Kind retards,” instead of, “Kind Regards.”

    Bet is from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) not Gen whatever slang.

    The following is from 12/15/1985 when Eddie Murphy is hosting Saturday Night Live. He uses “bet” at around 2:10 though it’s a solid monologue if you have seen “Best Defense” (if you have not don’t)

      Interesting and it makes sense that it came from the 80s, given the Gen Z’s obsession with the decade.

      Gen whatever slang often borrows from AAVE though.

          Doesn’t stop at “US youth culture slang” either.

          “cool” is used by German boomers who don’t know that AAVE exists.

      That broccoli hairstyle has become popular in recent years, but originated in the '80s among fans of new wave music.

        So the lifecycle of everything is approximately 35ish years. When I was a kid, bell bottoms were popular, and consequently, they were also popular in the late '60s and early '70s, just as an example.

          I want a pair of JNCO jeans.

          I never had a pair before. The reproductions are a bit overpriced tho

          I know they’re not the same as bell bottoms but That’s what I nostalgic for that I didn’t actually experience. Born in the 90’s btw

    He just says “brah” or “bro” with different inflection. No other words.
