    I’m in a country specific discord channel where immigrants and wannabes discuss realities of moving.

    Recently a bachelor student joined and in every second sentence or so I had to google something to understand what he wants.

    From the exchange I learned that if something slaps, it’s a good thing apparently.

      Sounds like an Ismo gag:

      I have recently learned the word, ah, slap. If I slap a thing, that is, ah, bad. If it is the thing that slaps, um, that is good.

        I’m 42 and never heard it before in that context.

        Slaps isn’t new in an ‘Internet’ sense, it’s been around for a few years, but it’s reached enough saturation now that it is commonly used. And now that it’s common, fr fr, more people ate being introduced to it as if it was new.

        It’s still new in a slang sense but more of an ‘elder/baby’ generational slang divide.

        You right dawg. Man the first time I chucked a dummy version in basic, I thought my ass was gonna beer pong that shit. For those who don’t know or haven’t had the pleasure, they are baseball sized but dense af. It did not go far at all and I legit thought DS was brain me. Ahhhh, memories.

    Wouldn’t want to let gen z brainrot slang and memes infect the totally not brainrot slang and memes already omnipresent in the armed forces. It scares me so much I dont think im going to be able to finish my crayola casserole. Ooh rah!
