ITT sad fucks who listen to their parents' music whining about language evolving as it does and always has.
want language that stays the same? go learn fucking latin and leave those of us who speak living languages be.
There's "living" like a forest and there's "living" like bathroom mold.
Recte. Et relinquam te post dandum lingua!
People are joking in this thread and its normal older generations dont understand, deal with it.
Beside that, drips was the slang word for gonnorhea, strange evolution like if your kids start to say raw dogging instead of like.
Here two example: 1 look at my drip (Old) look at my gonnorhea (New) look at my outfit
2 I really raw dogged my teacher (hypothetical) (Old) I really fucked my teacher without a condom (New) I really like my teacher
This is what is going on and where all the fun is in this specific slang, no need to thank me for the explanation.
I personally find language evolution like this super interesting, informal language has evolved a lot thanks to the internet
