What makes skibidi not a real word? Sure, it’s a nonsense word often used to replace other words, but it still carries some meaning, even if vague
Remember that linguistics isn’t just about high brow standard written/spoken language, it covers all types of language, including slang, body language and sign language
There are real linguists with real qualifications who have actually studied gen Z and gen alpha slang and gotten scientific conclusions out of it
I believe one linguist who studied it was able to either impress or embarrass a high school by speaking entirely in correct gen Z/gen alpha slang
Can’t speak for anywhere but where I’ve lived, but I’ve heard groovy on the US west coast pretty recently, though not regularly. There was a niche little clique of geeks out in east Texas that’d say it pretty regularly some years ago though. Hippie activist/tabletop enthusiast type vibe, that group. Good people. Groovy, even.
Then we may have met before. I’d rather not be identified on this account, so I’ll just text some of the old gang, and if you’re on the list, you’re on the list lol
So is he your cool brother because he says “groovy”, or does he say “groovy” because he’s cool?

Yeah, dawg. I just be thinking smart shit like that all day bro. My crew calls me The Doc on account of im so smart. We play this game where we throw rocks in the air and if it hits someone before it lands you get a point. But if you hit yourself you get 10 points. Cracked my skull enough times that I’m on a first name basis with every doctor in town, but I never lost one game. That’s called real genius, bro. No amount of practice can get a person to my level. Thats not even strategy bro thats just me. Im built difirint
Even old people will just stop using them, like “groovy”.
“Cool” has had greater longevity than i expected.
Well I think it’s nifty.
Groovy is acceptable, but only in the way Ash from the Evil Dead uses it.
Dude, that’s totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s
Psssh, next you’ll tell me people aren’t saying “hail to the king, baby”?
Marvy fab yo
Yeah. Thankfully nobody says things like “epic fail” anymore
I still do 👋
At least epic and fail are actual words.
What constitutes an “actual word”?
Ones that are not skibidi

A word that isn’t a direct code for another word is what I meant.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.
That mighta been me
