    Foid and Goyim aren’t normal slang, they’re slurs used by fascist weirdos. -maxxing is only used by non-fascist weirdos in ironic contexts.

      The spelling failure tells you it’s ironic.

      A lot of modern slang started on right wing sections of 4Chan and is full of Jewish words intentionally used as code to make fun of them. EtymologyNerd on YouTube has talked about the right leaning origin of slang some

        Fun fact. /pol/ was created the day after Epstein met moot and gave him a ride home. Q anon appeared there a couple years later with pizza gate.

        Epstein was one of those elitist jews that called non jews goyim like muggles or some shit. Amazing how much worse 4chan is than every other chan. I never thought I would miss 8chan

        So the Yiddish word means someone who isn’t Jewish. How is it used in those spaces?

        Goy and goyim are also just actually words that are fairly commonly used by many English speaking Jews.

        Fair amount of other Yiddish and Hebrew words other than goy/goyim are used this way as well.

        Its like… an additional vernacular.

        Chutzpah, means basically … shameless audacity, or … arrogant presumption of privilege, something like that.

        Oi Vey! … basically ‘Woe is me!’, but also kind of more like ‘Oh shit/fuck/no’… sort of.

        … I’m not saying you can’t use these words and phrases as like, part of a cariacature, but they are also just words and phrases you’d have probably picked up, growing up in a Jewish family, or around them.

        Similar to how you’d have an additional vernacular set if you were from some other cultural/ethic/religious background…

        … not exactly the same, but Evangelical Christians for example have a weird tendency to pluralize ‘evidence’ into ‘evidences’, use ‘discernment’ in common speech waaay more often than others do, etc.

      Wait, wait, I’m still confused. Is diggity a good thing or not? Should I be aiming for an overwelming surplus of it, and if I should, is it really surplus, or should I be trying to expunge it from my life entirely?

        You only want in the correct amount. Not enough diggity is almost as bad as too much diggity. So by diggity extension, an overwhelming amount of diggity is indeed too much diggity and thus not diggity at all.

        Diggity diggity.

            I am clearly no diggity-ologist as I had not even considered the temperature of the diggity. I shall continue my studies in the hope that I too can become wise in the ways of Diggity.

          Hard disagree. Case-in-point: I like the way you work it, some diggity…?

          It just doesn’t work. You really don’t want any diggity.

    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.

        Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it was used regularly as slang, or that it carried the same connotations. “Lowkey,” has been around for ages, but it wasn’t slang until the late 90s, and it isn’t even used the same way. (“Keep it lowkey,” vs., “that was lowkey brilliant.”)

          I feel like it was though. Chode was maybe more common, but chud was used too. The movie followed the name afterall, not the other way around.

          Your example for lowkey is using it as an adverb as opposed to an adjective. A chud has always been a noun.

        Oh, I haven’t heard it used that was. I still see it used pretty much exclusively to mean, “right-wing dumb-ass,” but sometimes more broadly as, “online dumb-ass.”

        I’m sorry, but it really wasn’t:

        The term originates from the 1984 movie C.H.U.D. In the film, the acronym refers to a group of humanoid, flesh-eating monsters that were once humans, but mutated due to radioactive waste. While the word may have started pejorative use in 2003 to describe any repulsive person, its usage shifted as it became popular in the 2020s on sites such as Twitter and Reddit, after the podcast Chapo Trap House frequently used it to describe those who are ignorant or far-right.

      Yep. Alt-righties / racists are still on the “secret cabal of Jews is why your life has problems” schtick, so if you see “goyim” being thrown around or “You know, ((THEM))” it’s usually a dog whistle.

      It’ll get used like “sheep” like “eat slop, goy”. As if people who aren’t anti-Semitic are somehow “sheeple” letting themselves be manipulated.

      That kinda thing started getting used heavily around meme communities like iFunny where you could never be sure if it was being “ironic” or not. (Although I heard the FBI caught various violent racist groups trying to recruit through there).

      It started to break out, unfortunately.

        Most leftists are the same, they’re just more politically correct about it.
