Some solulu to delulu!

 The Prime Minister in his newest "Friends" insta post has a found a solulu to the delulu of the GenZ! 'Let's ghost the drama. Swiped left. Valid. We move.' is his message. You got FOMO, no?

Not to worry! That is the GenZ lingo. In simple human(e) terms, it can be translated as "The PM has suggested a solution" to the delusional grandeur of the GenZ which made them think that they can get away with the vilest foulest ugliest language. 

What is the PM's solution? 'I choose to forget the bad mouthing. I forgive you. Let bygones be bygones.' After all said n done, kids! I have consciously chosen to put the P. M's sentiments in the GenZ lingo because otherwise they are sure to find his feelings/suggestions paternalistic, avancular and patronising, and, ah, yes, symbiotic of Bramhinical patriarchy! 

Yes, such are the typical delulu to which actually there is no solulu because ideologies, too, Kant would agree, are 'categorical imperatives'! Dark(ened) indeed is the vision when we wear such 'blinds'! 

Oh, yes, the GenZ lingo! Such are their abbreviations that even GenAlpha, too, may not understand them, forget the Millennials. As for the Boomers, better bum off, okay?

Here are a few specimens. BFR is no new arm of the army. It means "be for real" because "NGL" which assures one n all that "not gonna lie." In brief, "IYKYK"! How I wish such advice were available in abundance on July 20 because "if you knew, you knew", should have been the 'brain rot' avoided by all!

Now that the PM has chosen to forgive all, the rest of us better "IJBOL" which, thankfully, is a less vulgar version of "LMAO"! Oh, yep, IJBOL has nothing to do with "bol ke labj tere sirf azad nahi, balki zinda bhi hai". It is the very GenZ version of "I just burst out laughing"!!!

Pratima@ Yes, language sure follows the only constant, that is, change. Yet change need not make it downright non-communicative, right? Slang does not sizzle, okay? Slang simply sucks!

Quote of the day:                                                           Absolutely agreed, Albert Schweitzer! "We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding"  as slangy solulu come from lolulu!

Word of the day: slang                                                  Slang refers to very informal words and expressions that are more common in spoken language. Slang is mostly used only by a particular group of people (for example, students, young people, criminals) and often stays in fashion for a short time. Usually, slang is not polite.
