I use the phrase ‘waaa’ when ever some was complaining about some little thing that had nothing to do with them. One day a friend of mine was hearing me complain about something from work and said my phrase; I looked at her for a moment and said, ‘Felt good didn’t it.’
I don’t waste my time trying to rid anyone of any slang. Slang gets thrown out on its own after time, just like it did when we were younger and with our parents before us, not to mention those that will come after this current young generation. Its a continual thing. You can’t really beat it, you just survive it until the next wave comes.
Lucille Ball was famous for the Waa thing on her show. It’s nice to know I’ve been so far ahead of the curve in the “norm core look” I was fashionable 37 years ahead of my time!As far as the K-hole group goes, I wouldn’t listen to any group that named itself after a condition brought on by a Ketamine trip.
“normcore” – created by a ‘trend forecasting group’
Not sure what’s worse – the idea the word was created for teens by a outside group?or that there are actually Trend forecasting groups… and they make money?
I like the bit where it says it was coined by a trend focusing group, I wonder how many ‘cool’ words are created by organisations rather spontaneously occurring in the population.

I always figured I could singlehandedly — or single bellyedly — end the bare midriff craze.

English used to be an easy language to learn and speak…….until the Americans started changing it.

The word I can’t stand to hear young people use these days is ‘whatever’. Seems disrespectful to me.
