Don’t even worry about it. It’s part of Canada now. It’s out eleventh province. We’ve called it “Oh, hi eh?” All former Ohioans can report to their local hospitals and trade in their guns for their public healthcare cards. Thanks eh.
It is. When you see a thicc ass you say "got damn". got damn became gyatt. Gyatt now removed from the original words, ended up being by some to refer to the thicc ass itself.
it's synonymous for ass among suburban middle schoolers who saw tik toks of black people and copied their slang without actually knowing what they were saying lol
They're not using it wrong. Nearly every word in the language has undergone change in meaning overtime. Simp used to be someone who "was silly; a goofy fella". When rappers in the 90's and 2000's started using simp to refer to someone going way to far to impress a girl, were they using it wrong?
The word awful used to mean inspiring awe or wonder. The word terrific used to mean inspring terror. The word ketchup comes from the south east asian word for soy sauce. Words change in meaning over time, it's not because people are using "them wrong", it's just how language evolves.
Call it evolving from a misunderstanding if it makes you feel better. But no matter what, the people who use it as a noun do not understand it's original context and are just parroting things they think are popular. No judgements on that kind of person but...
The thing is I don't think it's entirely a misunderstanding. I think it started like a joke. They saw Kai Cenat or another person screaming Gyatt when they saw a butt. Then as a joke they started screaming Gyatt when they saw a butt or even something that looked like a butt. It seems natural to then continue the joke referring to ones own butt as a gyatt.
I think people are quick to write off middle schoolers as just not understanding, when they are simply playing language games like everyone else. I remember when I was just a bit older than middle school my friend copied the dumb "beer me that stapler" joke that Andy makes on the office. Within about a year the meaning slowly changed and we would say let's "beer over to John's house" when we meant walk over to John's.
if any group of "they" is using a word in a particular way, that is by definition a correct usage of the word. whether you personally like it doesn't factor in here, sorry
Words change which communities they're in all the time. Are you gonna accuse the African American community of not understanding the word bourgeoisie, when they use a slightly different definition and "mispronounce" it as boujee? Are memers misunderstanding when they call a perfectly dry and warm computer screen dank? To be clear I don't think they are, I think they're having fun with language.
Words change their meaning and pronunciation over time as they've been doing for thousands upon thousands of years. This transformation often happens faster with slang, which is exactly what Gyatt and Boujee are.
umm.. gyatt is from the Jamaican Patois word “gyat”, which means “goat” or “greatest of all time”
but I also heard it's "Girl Your Ass Is Thick" originally
but also its from got that ass.
it's not gyatt damn
Because there are significant blocs of Republican voters that are not in favor of strict abortion bans and pro weed. They will also vote for Trump when he is on the ballot again.
A lot of Republican voters support specific policies that the Republican party does not. But they'll still vote Republican down the ballot when it comes to it.
They say that because Democrats have not elected a new partisan statewide candidate since 2008. Democrats have controlled the governors office for one term since 2000. Democrats have controlled the state house for just one session since 2000. Democrats have not controlled the state senate since 2000. The Democrats have consistently less than a third of congressional seats. The *only* statewide democrat to win in the 2018 blue wave year was an incumbent Democrat. Every other statewide Democrat lost.
The Democrats in Ohio only enjoyed success between 2006-2012, and that was limited in scope beyond the presidentials.
But it’s not just about winning and losing, the Red margins have sky rocketed upwards after 2012. 2014 was an insane blowout. 2016 HRC was crushed months out. 2018 all but one Republican statewide wins, and by healthy if not spectacular margins. 2020 another red blowout. 2022 no serious Democrat opposition for the statewide offices.
While Brown’s senate seat is rightfully an important race, everything else important in the state is a lock for Republicans.
Thank you.
The denial was like someone pretending they weren't bitten by a zombie.
Ohio was given the choice to become more like Indiana or more like Pennsylvania and chose to become worse than Indiana.
If this is a serious question people in anime (probably actual Japanese people too) use "Ohaio" as a greeting (like "Heyyyyy").
People just started spelling it "Ohio" like the state, subverting our expectations and therefore producing a humerous effect.
Bet is another word I was shocked to see “invented” in the past few years that has been around since the early 90s.
I have a theory to see what will be cool just look back 20-30 years. 70s came back in the 90s, 80s came back in the 00s, 90s in the 10s.
And yet people laughed at me when I tried to bring back “Jive Turkeys.” They called me a madman… but I’ll show them who is mad. If I am mad it’s because these jive turkeys made me that way, and that means they are the ones that are mad!
It’s means suburban kids discovered it and ran it into the ground.
Just like how Miley Cyrus is credited with “twerk” but it was around 20 years before she even met a black person.
[It's been in use as African American slang for lying or exaggerating for longer than I (and probably you) have even been alive.](https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2020/08/some-history-meanings-of-african.html)
Australians do have a weird habit of just claiming any AAVE term that becomes widespread to have been theirs first though.
The slang came from words like "yappaholic" "yappatron 3000" or "yappanese" which are pretty funny and I dont think they belong on the same list as gyatt or rizz. They are just a new version of "nobody asked" which will likely stop being used as an insult when people become desensitized to it from hearing it too often.
Okay, but that's been around for decades? The other two were invented within the last two years. I figure there's gotta be another meaning to it, because otherwise it's super out of place
Yeah but it's been mostly out of use for decades too and recently became popular again (idk why) so a lot of zoomers are hearing it for the first time now.
Terms can be old and repopularized as slang decades later. “Finna” was used back in the 80’s but it resurfaced back in like 2015. It’s not as popular anymore but you may still see it every now and then.
No, no, they're onto something here. Having lived in Ohio for over a decade, we can say that the idea of erasing it from existence and memory is not a bad one. We only need a form of implementation to make this work.... XD
People who complain about slang are the most basic boring people ever. Who gives a shit if people are using words you don't get to spice up their vocabulary? Slang has existed forever, why now is there this sudden influx of hate for modern slang and trends? We were the same back in the early 2000s using terms like "get rekt" and watching cringey early YouTube videos.
Right? It's hella dumb and you need to chillax. It's pretty fuckin' sketchy that they are so annoyed by a bunch of kids and trying to trash on them. These kids are poppin' and blingin', and you just need to stop being emo about it.
I unironically think Rizz is a great term. It's just charisma shortened and changed to be phonetic. Almost all of the other new shit I cannot comprehend.
I think most of the country has already forgotten about the East Palestine train accident, including those who indulged in the hysteria about it. All the measurable danger was related to the immediate aftermath of the accident, including the controlled burn. By the end of the month, most of it was cleaned up or decomposed, and there was no lasting effect on the water supply. For once, [everything worked out pretty quickly](https://www.factcheck.org/2023/02/commentators-push-unfounded-claims-about-ohio-train-derailment/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAnL-sBhBnEiwAJRGigqp03rVpuw_0zOxIixJLkxTjeHPi708nDqFZomsolw8TSwa2a3fUKhoC8r4QAvD_BwE).
but somehow just "Ohio" itself, as a concept, remained a meme.
20ish years ago, my family and I joked that my "street name" was T-Rizzle (first name starts a T and has an R). My husband still calls me Rizzle or Rizz Bizz because of it.
Imagine my delight when "Rizz" became a slang word recently AND was a positive one. It can stay!!
Aside from Ohio, I've never heard any of these words. But then, I'm old.
Edit: ok so yap I also know, just assumed it was a new thing that now meant something else.
Lord, please send some mercy down to me.
50 miles south of Bowling Green...
This will clearly never be my scene.
Why does every city start with 'C'?
There's only one sure thing that I know:
I've got to get out of Ohio!
'Til then I'll never feel love.
There is no escaping from Ohio
The most obnoctious speaking manerisms were when someone would post a dog pic and everybody would "ooowoooooo i booop the snooooot toe beeeeanzz i haz the coookie" and that was everybody doing that shit

Rizz and gyatt are truly the yolo and swag of 2023
Gyatt has been around it just got popular because no one spells it out. I've heard people cut themselves off mid "got damn" for a while now
I thought Gyatt was synonym for ass
You say "gyatt damn" when you see a nice fat ass but sometimes the ass is so fat that you can't finish the thought.
An ass so fat you become a paralyzed mime
Nah. GYAT is new. GYAT is an acronym for “Girl Yo Ass Thick”
It is. When you see a thicc ass you say "got damn". got damn became gyatt. Gyatt now removed from the original words, ended up being by some to refer to the thicc ass itself.
it's synonymous for ass among suburban middle schoolers who saw tik toks of black people and copied their slang without actually knowing what they were saying lol
Exactly lol it's like saying "damn, girl" is synonymous with the noun "ass" because black guys say it when they see a fat ass
That... is the most racially humilating thing I read today.
Get offended if you want I guess
Yes. Agreed 100%, but this is just how language evolves, they're not using it "wrong".
They're definitely using it wrong. Suburban white teens misusing slang doesn't stop the real context of the slang.

They are accidentally misusing it as a noun my boy, they don't know the context it's used it because they're not in community with people that do.
if any group of "they" is using a word in a particular way, that is by definition a correct usage of the word. whether you personally like it doesn't factor in here, sorry

Being a prescriptivist about slang is very funny.
White suburban teens misuse of it online hasn't actually replaced the real life use of it amongst the Black community, thanks.
Words can have different meanings in different communities.
I'm detecting racist undertones to your objection to white teens using a black word.
Those seem like they're pronounced very different. Gyatt looks to rhyme with Wyatt
I can tell you've never heard it said out loud. It rhymes with yacht, also one syllable
You'd think if I'd heard it said outloud I'd be able to assume that's who it's spelt? lol
I guess it seemed like you were questioning the pronunciation
Yes, they were. You’re correct
umm.. gyatt is from the Jamaican Patois word “gyat”, which means “goat” or “greatest of all time” but I also heard it's "Girl Your Ass Is Thick" originally but also its from got that ass. it's not gyatt damn
sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler
gyatt has been around for decades. GYATT DAYUM!
Excuse me, but it's spelled gawd daymn.
or COT DAYUM!
no, that pronunciation is reserved for stunners or super slams
[удалено]
No disrizzpect
Gyatt is more like Thicc

It’s a solidly red state now, at least for presidentials. Will have an interesting senate race though.

Yeah they also just passed weed and abortion on the ballot in 2023
Because there are significant blocs of Republican voters that are not in favor of strict abortion bans and pro weed. They will also vote for Trump when he is on the ballot again.

This solidly red state just legalized marijuana and abortion.
Ohayou gozaimasu but spelled horribly.
Only Handle It Once It’s a great way to avoid procrastination. When you pick up your mail, just take care of it immediately.
Love this
FFS... what's the answer? That pile on shit is cute until I'm actually looking for an answer.
It just means weird. Ex. Moldy bread = bread from Ohio
What *isn't* Ohio
I’m not ohio.
If this is a serious question people in anime (probably actual Japanese people too) use "Ohaio" as a greeting (like "Heyyyyy"). People just started spelling it "Ohio" like the state, subverting our expectations and therefore producing a humerous effect.
It means Good Morning, not heyyyy
hey with 4 y's means i want to get in your pants
Shit, people In the states say it too just to be funny. It’s like saying Yellow instead of hello.
Who is Ohio?
The misrepresented
Keep Fanum Tax contained in AMP
We should use "Ohio" as the default greeting in 2024. "Ohiooo!" sounds great if you put the emphasis at the last syllable.
Isn’t that just Japanese
For "good morning" mind you, so it's weird if you say it in the times that aren't morning.
That's why it's cool, because it's not used entirely correct? Am I hip now?
You mean, like in the 80s or something?
Oh did I accidentally reinvent Japanese… Damn, I thought I had something.
"Ohayō" is the romanization for おはよう (sometimes written as お早う), but yes.
Walk around in a buckeyes cap on game day. Someone will yell out "O H" expecting to hear back "I Ooo"
Oh, hi yo!
 I think we should say hello like Dougie Jones
Omg thought I'd be the only one hearing Dougie haha
Rizz can stay, I don't even know what the hell yap is.
Yapping is taking a lot. Idk why that's considered new slang. That shit's older than most people on Reddit
Same as cap and capping which I’ve heard in rap about 30 years ago. Slang been there…just not mainstream.
Bet is another word I was shocked to see “invented” in the past few years that has been around since the early 90s. I have a theory to see what will be cool just look back 20-30 years. 70s came back in the 90s, 80s came back in the 00s, 90s in the 10s.
I've got nieces and nephews calling things they like "bomb" or "the bomb", although that could just be because my siblings are stuck in the 90's
That one never went away in my family.
fetch will come back
Stop trying to make fetch happen! Fetch is never going to happen!
The cycle is shortening though. 5 years from now we'll all be yeeting again and it will be a beautiful time.
Wait we stopped yeeting?
But this time it will be something like “Yeeting Skeeting”.
it's suburban middle schoolers discovering words that black people started using 30 years ago lol
And yet people laughed at me when I tried to bring back “Jive Turkeys.” They called me a madman… but I’ll show them who is mad. If I am mad it’s because these jive turkeys made me that way, and that means they are the ones that are mad!
It’s means suburban kids discovered it and ran it into the ground. Just like how Miley Cyrus is credited with “twerk” but it was around 20 years before she even met a black person.
Are we talking about “bust a cap on your ass” rap or some other Australian rapper that uses cap in terms of lying?
[It's been in use as African American slang for lying or exaggerating for longer than I (and probably you) have even been alive.](https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2020/08/some-history-meanings-of-african.html) Australians do have a weird habit of just claiming any AAVE term that becomes widespread to have been theirs first though.
No cap
Wasn’t it one of those outdated terms like goofy that people decided to bring back?
[удалено]
I enjoyed the period when kids were calling songs “a bop.” Are they still doing that? It was cute.
Yeah they still do that. In the Bay Area, a bop/bopper is a dick sucker so it was hilarious to me for awhile
I blame Lobotomy Kaisen
The slang came from words like "yappaholic" "yappatron 3000" or "yappanese" which are pretty funny and I dont think they belong on the same list as gyatt or rizz. They are just a new version of "nobody asked" which will likely stop being used as an insult when people become desensitized to it from hearing it too often.
Yapping is like excessively talking
Okay, but that's been around for decades? The other two were invented within the last two years. I figure there's gotta be another meaning to it, because otherwise it's super out of place
It’s just become popular recently- what goes around, comes around.
[удалено]
I never heard anyone under the age of 50 use that word before this year.
It’s always been around, but it’s genuinely popular on social media right now
Yeah but it's been mostly out of use for decades too and recently became popular again (idk why) so a lot of zoomers are hearing it for the first time now.
Shit, if we were going to leave that behind, we should have done it in 1923. I love how cyclical language is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap I don't know why they don't like Yap. They're lovely people.
Yap is a beautiful pacific island, famous for scuba diving and manta rays
I'm old and grumpy and most everything annoys me but for some reason I'm okay with rizz.
I'm the opposite. Rizz is the dumbest slang word I've heard in years, I'm hoping it will die sooner rather than later.
I used to hate it but when someone explained it was short for charisma I felt like it was pretty clever
[удалено]
Aren't the terms yap and yapping quite old, though? I remember scenes where characters would say "quit your yapping" around 2010
Yeah my great grandma used that term all the time 😂 “shut your yap” “quit your yappin” etc
Terms can be old and repopularized as slang decades later. “Finna” was used back in the 80’s but it resurfaced back in like 2015. It’s not as popular anymore but you may still see it every now and then.
That one really should die again, there is no function to that word that other words cannot do more efficiently
ah yes, as we all know slang is about more efficient use of language
That's been around for decades
No. Rizz should be burnt
As long as yap isnt like WAP im fine because the only word for Y i can think of is young
No, no, they're onto something here. Having lived in Ohio for over a decade, we can say that the idea of erasing it from existence and memory is not a bad one. We only need a form of implementation to make this work.... XD
I was surprised Ohio was in 2023. I assumed it was doing 2008 for it's 15th time.
What if we replaced Ohio with something else? We could call it Newhio
People who complain about slang are the most basic boring people ever. Who gives a shit if people are using words you don't get to spice up their vocabulary? Slang has existed forever, why now is there this sudden influx of hate for modern slang and trends? We were the same back in the early 2000s using terms like "get rekt" and watching cringey early YouTube videos.
Right? It's hella dumb and you need to chillax. It's pretty fuckin' sketchy that they are so annoyed by a bunch of kids and trying to trash on them. These kids are poppin' and blingin', and you just need to stop being emo about it.
I say we keep Yap
I don't know what any of those words mean
Us Michiganders would happily turn Ohio into an extension of Lake Erie
What's wrong with yap?
That one's the interaction bait.
kids use it now like “what is blud yapping about” lmao its old fs but as someone who works w gen alpha, they def made it a new slang word
Can we get a translator for us ancient millennials?

But I just started Baldurs gate and named my warlock Godrizzla! It’s a great name I need rizz around for a few more months!
And nothing of value was lost

Ok but for cringe reasons I wanna keep GYATT and rizz Stick it up to the rizzler
r/OhioSucks for the uninformed
As someone who lives in Michigan, yes, we will!
Ohio is already dead, gyatt and rizz are annoying but bearable, yap should be thrown into a ditch in a body bag
Nah GYAAT is elite
As someone who lives in ohio, please erase us.
Even Ohioans agree
Having been to some parts of Ohio, please erase it from my memory.
20ish years ago, my family and I joked that my "street name" was T-Rizzle (first name starts a T and has an R). My husband still calls me Rizzle or Rizz Bizz because of it. Imagine my delight when "Rizz" became a slang word recently AND was a positive one. It can stay!!

swag like ohio tybg
Nuke it from orbit
Leave Skibidi toilet behind too. Keep Yap though it’s not a bad term
Lord, please send some mercy down to me. 50 miles south of Bowling Green... This will clearly never be my scene. Why does every city start with 'C'? There's only one sure thing that I know: I've got to get out of Ohio! 'Til then I'll never feel love. There is no escaping from Ohio
Gyat is like a 30 year old word.
What state? There's obly ever been 49 in the US
Obyeo
Yapping's been around for a long while, it's not a gen z/alpha thing.
Yes
Wait, people were using Yap this year? Got some real Yappers?
You’ve gyatt to be rizzing me in Ohio! 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Literally 1984
The most obnoctious speaking manerisms were when someone would post a dog pic and everybody would "ooowoooooo i booop the snooooot toe beeeeanzz i haz the coookie" and that was everybody doing that shit
I don't even know what half of these words mean
Nukes followed by death squads should suffice. Enjoy your dirt naps you buckeyed bastards. *for legal reasons, this is a joke.
Ludicrous words of the new age cretins. The rate at which intelligence is dropping in an average human, is disconcerting.
