Lol everything was "wicked," we had "you think you're all that and a bag of chips." "Psych," "not," and not only did we have da bomb we had da bomb dot com. Then there's "dude" and "a'ite?" (Not sure on the spelling of that one but alright shortened.) "Like" "totally" "whatever." (Emphasis on the what) "Ya know?"
I told my kids that if they could define skibbity they could say it, they tried to use the Internet to get a definition. I said no I want the original meaning. Then I made them listen to some music (Minnie the moocher, skat man etc) it was hilarious when they were using a nonsense word that their great grandparents used.
Lol for me it's been almost 30 years. Most of the time the dumb things that are "cool" you start using them at age 11-12. Or at least my kids started saying dumb things like the nonsense on here around that age. (One a little younger) Damn I am old.
Gyat is a way of saying a nice ass. It is a play of saying "goddamn." As in, "goddamm, that ass!"
Skibidi means "is this person up to no good." It orginates from a series of youtube videos that focused on toliet humor from 2023.
Won’t be an issue as the zoomers are more scared of talking to clients than anything else. Even talking on the phone to their coworkers will make them want to quit their job. Generally speaking.
Zoomers are still learning that talking about anything other than the weather and sports in the office makes boomers extremely uncomfortable. Don't worry, they'll figure it out
Oh you're actually right. Now I sound like a boomer referring to all young people as millennials. My daughter is Gen Alpha but she's only a year old. I didn't realize they were up to 14 years old already...
Cultural difference is serious. Almost all of our clients are also boomers. Any new joiners acting too smart are grilled and roasted by clients themselves. Problem is so serious that we have to take how to behave with client sessions.

I (millennial) e-mailed another senior (gen Z) in a different tax group (I think something in the tax provisions they sent us as support was confusing to us or something) and they, in the e-mail response, were like, "yeah, that looks kinda sus". A partner and an MD Cc'ed on it. I honestly got a kick out of it.
There are virtually no boomer partners left based on the mandatory retirement ages of the B4. They range from 58-62.
I forget which is which, but at least 2 of the B4 will be boomerless after this year. All 4 will be boomerless by 2027.
I've never worked at Big 4, but I have worked at a few top 100s. None of them have mandatory retirement ages and all of them are still majority boomer partners even to this day.
The Big 4 all have mandatory retirement ages. Since they capture more than 1/2 of all grads that go into public, that’s who most people are going to be familiar with.
“Ah shit you failed your CPA exam, Bro’s cooked.”
favorite one so far
Bro just take my damn award and get outta here, fr fr
“Bro didn’t sign the engagement letter”
You forgot the 💀
No CPA fr fr
Hey partner-kun, the controller has a gyat. Would it be a conflict of interest if I rizzed her up? That would be a W move
controller gyat = peak fiction. bro is coping frfr 💀
Front gyat
I'm a millennial, and I gotta say, that shit scares me too. Lol
Somehow rizz was easy to figure out but then came skibidi and gyat and my knees and back started hurting.
We had some dumb slang like "da bomb" and whatnot. But Gen Z has the absolute dumbest shit.

You reminded me how much I miss busting sick tricks at the skatepark with my homies. Then again my knees reminded me that was 20 years ago.

I'm Gen Z and that also scares me
Not a chance people are sayin this shit in the office 😭
No cap

I'm a younger manager and I can confirm they do use their lingo with me. That's okay though, I'm not like other managers. I'm a cool manager. 👴

My Gen Z intern types "rn" to me on Teams all the time. I'm a director.
rn, tmr, btw etc feels like normal abbreviations, but if someone messages me in teams with “that quarter end was not bussin no cap” I’m leaving
I know 40+ year olds that use "rn". It's not a Gen Z thing.
I was typing that on IRC before some of these new starters were even conceived. Fucking hell
I still remember my ICQ number IRL LOL
Millennial here — I’ve used “rn” for decades and I have a Gen X partner who uses it too.
I type “rn” on slack to my gen z employees. I’m a VP.
What is rn
“Right now”
Only on teams my guy

Literally true.

Fax, no printer
I heard for real and no cap, and I did hear "on God" in a rap song. What the heck are "skibidi" and rizz? I was born in 1994, BTW.

LOL. Iowa used to be the equivalent of Ohio for my Midwest millennial slang.
This post is hella Ohio brahh
Nah fam this is gas no cap
They talk like that until both the partners and clients roast the shit out of them then they drop the lingo real quick
Gen Xer. I have no idea what any of that means.

I'm not going to bother learning any of that because it's gonna come and go within a few years just like all other trends.
It's worth it to learn it well enough to appreciate the memes.
I'm a boomerxennial and these words are weird and scary.
As a millennial we were saying “pure gas” 20 years ago, that’s not new
Doubt too many boomer partners are left. Mostly X
You're lucky then. The majority of partners in the departments I've worked in at multiple firms are still to this day majority boomer partners.
If this client don’t answer my email ong imma crash out deadass ☠️

Y'all underestimate your ability to make cool slang uncool.
Was this ever cool slang? This is about as cool as the tide pod eating trend that took over TikTok.
It's ironic slang I think. But my point is that when elders use words, it becomes uncool.
> It’s ironic slang I think. I have no idea what you mean by this.
Like people who say it, know that's its an weird phrasing, but they say it ironically as a joke.
no one knows what it means, but it's provocative
It’s what gets the people going
A teacher at my kids highschool did this, the kids just thought it was hilarious
