@prettygood In the one where it asks about Gen Z compared to Millennial slang I didn't even know half of the Millennial ones. What the hell does 411 mean

@arcana its the phone number you used to call for "information", that goes way back, that was common when I was a little kid, but it was always part of the common slang as far as I can recall.

@prettygood Hmm, maybe that's a regional thing then, I don't think that existed in the UK

@arcana I realize now this is very American-centric, but I think you knew that.

@prettygood Yeah I did but I think most of the slang due to being online is fairly universal anyway. Like people in the UK said YOLO too.

@Inginsub @prettygood it needs a “Immediately become suspicious that you fucked it up and this is sarcasm.”

If I fucked up and this is how it's communicated then I don't give a fuck.

@prettygood

Perfectly balanced.
The one question I got wrong was that boomers use GIFs more.
I doubt their data but my parents are like extra technically illiterate.

Here are your full results:
Emojis: Equally Gen Z, Millennial, and Gen X
Punctuation: Equally Gen Z, Millennial, and Gen X
Style and etiquette: Mostly Millennial, with a dash of Baby > Boomer
Understanding others: You got 91% of the questions correct

@sleepingnevi @prettygood This doesn't use enough data points to be accurate tbh. Also for like half the questions the correct answer for me would have been 'none of the above' If I was giving the real answer

These fucking nuggets implied I have some Baby Boomer tendencies in emojis, which I don't even use. Ship 'em to the Arabs.
