    And if the community starts getting too big it advanced on its own in a new different direction, and at some point I guess you could have two different dialects

    I feel like our slang and language has shifted towards being more comedic, maybe to comfort us during late stage capitalism

    Persian, not Farsi. The F-sound is Arabised and preferred in more Arabised dialects and is a sign of Arabic cultural dominance over Iran.

    Gung-ho was not originally used as a parody, it comes from some US commando who visited communist china, lived and worked with them for quite some time and kind of thought the phrase and idea were neat for a military unit to use

    Humans have been, are, and always will be doing human things. And youthful imagination is where religions and cults come from. (Seriously, teens will create a whole "fake" religion around a taco or a dead rat. I've seen it happen so many times)

    My dad has lived in England longer than his native France and mainly reads and listens to things in English instead of French as he doesn’t know the new French slang when watching French shows so needs English subtitles or just as he tells me “it’s quicker to read in English because it gets to the point instead of painting a picture with words like French does” He never spoke French at home so I’m not fluent or even conversational in French myself, when I asked why? My dad says you can try to be fully fluent in more than one language but the one you use most often will always be more fluent so wanted to make sure he could speak perfect English as he lives in England and has English children and tbf he has perfect grammar, spelling and almost perfect pronunciation apart from a few words that his accent shows up in, of which is so mild that most people don’t know he’s French unless he says or starts speaking French

    I can attest to this, traveling back home I got made fun of because certain terms were outdated. I felt really old when these maybe 16-20 year old cashiers started laughing at me, like damn only 32 and feeling like I’m 70.

    Yeah i feel you. I left Hungary 20 years ago and i don't understand the new words which are nowadays common there. Also a lot of slang is outdated and not being used anymore.
