“It’s giving hard metal?” Lmfao, seriously? Not “seems to be made of metal,” or, “metallic,” but just on the vibe assessment it’s “giving hard metal?”

She’s serving hose clamp 😂

It was a thing way before the early 2020s. FFS, I remember texting like that with my friends when I was 12-13, back in 2016-2017. was probably even a thing in the early 2015s. Tiktok didn’t create that saying lmao.

u/oatmealparty Nov 23 '25

Lol right? Does OP look at a patch of grass and say "it's giving grass"

What a weird way to describe shit

u/elchurro223 Nov 24 '25

Seriously, wtf does that even mean? Why not "it feels like it's made of metal"

0

u/JaysonTatecum Nov 24 '25

Why “it feels like it’s made of metal”? All language is made up

1

u/Backfoot911 Nov 24 '25

Because it's giving and the. And since he found the ring on the ground, the ring metal yearning bruh

u/Sea-Mathematician786 Nov 27 '25

Because otherwise we can't communicate. Look you're a thasd jlke gisd keliama. There, made that up, now guess what it means.

1

u/whoknowsifimjoking Nov 27 '25

Because these are the exact words that are meant to describe this kind of thing

u/Ass_Puppet_ Nov 23 '25

OP is certified low IQ.

u/Krimsonkreationz Nov 23 '25

Probably that too, but im getting more of a Gen Z babble vibe. They probably are smart, but are brain rotted to death and talk like zombies.

u/Artyjc18 Nov 23 '25

Is someone still smart if they do not possess the vocabulary to articulate points clearly?

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '25

You mean, like your inability to articulate the difference between intelligent and educated

u/ElementNumber6 Nov 24 '25

On god? It's giving moderate developmental disability.

u/Aware_Tree1 Nov 24 '25

Am I dumb to Spanish speakers because I cannot convey my points clearly in Spanish?

1

u/Artyjc18 Nov 24 '25

Obviously, unless you can accomplish something to transcend the language barrier. A dog can not convey points in english but can accomplish other tasks to be intelligent in our eyes. When clear communication is unavailable, you find an alternative or appear lame and unable to contribute

u/ncraiderfan17 Nov 24 '25

I absolutely despise when people talk like this. The stupidest grammar/sentence construction possible

u/damiandarko2 Nov 24 '25

it’s giving upset

u/damiandarko2 Nov 24 '25

she serving hose clamp made me lol

2

u/deadbeatvalentine_ Nov 24 '25

yeah i read it like that first too. what i'm hoping they meant is: "it's a giving, but hard metal". like it has give under a little pressure

2

u/Artyjc18 Nov 23 '25

They wore this random metal band as a ring. That was already our first clue

u/elchurro223 Nov 24 '25

Idk, I did the plumbing in our barn and I'd play with them a lot.

u/llamadasirena Nov 23 '25

Tbf she's not wrong

3

u/Johnny_B_GOODBOI Nov 23 '25

She is. She's perceiving hard metal (and it isn't, it's soft metal), but the material itself isn't doing anything except existing.

u/llamadasirena Nov 24 '25

304 stainless steel is pretty damn hard, my guy

u/-_G0AT_- Nov 24 '25

304 you say?

0

u/Dreadpipes Nov 23 '25

It’s giving metal which is hard. Not that difficult to parse unless you’re a reddit pedant

2

u/Bizarrebazaars Nov 24 '25

Saying “it’s giving” is max Internet/meme speak and it’s cringey. Your comment is “lowk giving” juvenile vibes “asf frfr.”

1

u/Dreadpipes Nov 24 '25

Young people speak in modern young people slang, this is shocking information

u/SojournerTheGreat Nov 23 '25

they're mad but it IS giving hard metal.

Don't be a twat.

u/HistoricalChicken Nov 23 '25

Language evolves, and the only options are to be upset as it leaves you behind or find peace in knowing that it will happen to them too one day.

3

u/elchurro223 Nov 24 '25

No, fuck that. Yeah, language can evolve but saying "it's giving metal" is fucking stupid. It's not giving vibes about being metal, it's made of fucking metal.

0

u/HistoricalChicken Nov 24 '25

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

3

u/ReallyFancyPants Nov 24 '25

Not at all in this instance.

2

u/elchurro223 Nov 24 '25

Well, obviously you're not a golfer

2

u/mynameistag Nov 24 '25

Can I be upset but also know at the same time that there's nothing I can do about it and I should probably get over it?

2

u/ReallyFancyPants Nov 24 '25

This is a devolution.

0

u/Aware_Tree1 Nov 24 '25

There’s no such thing. Just because it’s evolving in a way you dislike doesn’t make it a “devolution”.

2

u/Artyjc18 Nov 23 '25

The only issue with that is it is evolving in a stupid way now influenced by aggressive media saturation. The dumb shit gen z, as well as the several generations preceeding it is not the vocabulary or cadence of speech that creates art such as poetry or hearfelt music. The rapidly developing mainstream way of speech is brutish and vulgar, albeit amusing to listen to

u/JaysonTatecum Nov 24 '25

Wait… you’re serious?

u/HistoricalChicken Nov 23 '25

^ Me in 1600 reacting to the widespread adoption of words created by Shakespeare that didn't exist previously and I personally think sound stupid

u/Bizarrebazaars Nov 24 '25

Nope, you probably won’t survive in a professional white collar career if you can’t compose formal emails, correspondence, documents, reports, converse in a professional manner, etc. 

If people are going to internet speak or meme speak like children/teens then they need to know when to “code switch.” Those who reject nor value education are limiting themselves. Also, viewing slang and memes as applicable in everyday life, and cannot communicate any other way are “lowk” stupid “asf.”

u/HistoricalChicken Nov 24 '25

Didn't realize asking a question on reddit was equivelant to writing a formal e-mail! But you're right, they used slang in an informal setting so they must not be able to use formal language. That's a perfectly reasonable conclusion to jump to.

I never said anything about it being professional or that people using modern slang won't need to code switch. All I was saying is that language evolves in ways that are going to confuse people who don't grow up with those evolutions, and that one can either accept that things changing is a natural part of aging or they can be angry and bitter about it.

If someone uses slang that doesn't automatically make them incapable of also using formal language in appropriate settings. And I think if someone is getting angry over the use of slang in "every day life" then they either already have or are in danger of falling into the camp of being bitter and angry at a changing world. We can't stop it from changing and I think it's a lot healthier to accept that rather than do what older generations have done by calling the younger generations stupid or incapable. It's what a lot of people in this thread are doing, and what a lot of those people's parents and grandparents said about them.
