Look, Gen Z has some stinkers (“that’s fire,” sucks, and that’s coming from the generation that gave you, “hella,”), but their use of Chud is spectacular. A perfect encapsulation of every grubby, right-wing freak from incels to groypers. A near perfect onomatopoeia.
These days a lot of slang follows some kind of cookie cutter format. Redpill/blackpill, coomer/zoomer, X-oid, X-maxxing, etc. If it doesn’t meet some threshold of social media viability then it’s not getting adopted.
Chud is super old, the movie C.H.U.D. (Carnivorous Humanoid Underground Dwellers) came out in 1984 and has been used ever since. It’s funny that it’s most popular now, but it’s as old as the others
I’m not sorry for slangmaxxing

unwilling to look it up, i’m going to assume foid is a shortened form of freakazoid

Okay Boomer
This post isn’t crescent fresh. It’s only partially cres, at best.
Gnarly!
Bodatious!
Tubular!
I don’t think these words mean the same thing at all. Like ‘foid’ doesn’t mean the same thing as ‘whatever’ (I could be wrong), so what is actually being compared here?
They aren’t supposed to, they’re just examples of slang
Are they supposed to? I didn’t infer any link between them. I just thought they were random slang words from that era, contrasting the different feel they have.
“old time good! new time bad!”
Classical old people afraid of death and irrelevance.
Goyim? Like… Not a Jewish person?
Whack
Isn’t Goyim Yiddish?
NGL I like “-maxxing” because of how versatile it is.
“Whatever” is hardly slang, however.
