      So can isolation from your peer group, most if not all of whom depend on the internet for most of their socializing.

    Any specific Youth jargon is only ever in fashion for one age-group at a time, so not knowing that doesn’t make you old. When I left highschool, I didn’t understand the freshman’s jargon already.

      ‘fanum tax’ = some streamer or tiktok or youtuber or something called fanum who takes people’s food and says ‘fanum tax’
      ‘ohio’ = I think it’s about “ohio vs the world” which has something to do with the entire US being Ohio
      ‘gyatt’ = exclamation about a big butt
      ‘skibidi’ = reference to this bizarre series called skibidi toilet which features toilets with heads sticking out of them doing battle with robots with cameras on their heads

          As a teacher, I know these are true because I’ve searched them myself (though fanum tax is new to me). Gyatt is basically the exclamation of “Goddamn” in response to a big booty. If you see a picture with a caption “the ___ in Ohio”, it is generally making fun of Ohio and the picture will be a messed up version of the thing. And Rizz is a shortening of charisma, but it usually deals more with the charisma it takes to sleep with someone.

      I only know Ohio as the state that will be invaded by femboys armed with Nerf guns, and a kiwi trans girl leading them
