I have to thank CodeMom for introducing me to Mr. Lindsay videos in understanding the ridiculous statements that my middle schooler may throw at me this year. (Yes, my oldest is a middle schooler this year!)
I also have to thank Ardalis for encouraging me to work with the LLMs and see what they can do. He’s showed some pretty cool practical things like pair programming. Though – it has also got me testing it with ridiculous prompts. I like ELI5 really complex concepts, explain this tech concept to an unlikely audience, or having it role play and give me better examples.
Tonight, after talking with my boys about the Gen Alpha lingo, I threw this prompt at Gemini:
Ok... so I need to use these words more often - Skibidi, GYAT, Riz, Ohio POGS, cap. Can you write a poem that explains these terms to a Xennial?
I think it did really well, but I’m a Xennial. So I understand it but I wasn’t sure if it was true.
Let me craft a rhyme to bridge the lingo gap,
For Xennials lost in the Gen Alpha rap.Forget grunge and slap bracelets,
it’s a new kind of cool,
Where “sick” means awesome
and following rules is drool.First up, there’s skibidi, a sound with no exact translation,
But if you see someone bust a move with pure elation,
That’s skibidi in action, a sight to behold,
Stylish and smooth, a story untold.Then there’s GYAT, whispered with a heart full of glee,
An acronym for “God You’re Attractive,” don’t you see?
A compliment finer than anything flannel can bring,
So next time someone says GYAT, your heart might take wing.Riz is the magic, the charm, the flirtatious art,
The ability to win someone’s captivated heart.
But beware of Ohio riz, a social faux pas so grand,
It means your flirting’s lame, like socks with sandals in the sand.POGS may sound like a forgotten game from your youth,
But Gen Alpha uses it for a different kind of truth.
A shout of excitement, a celebration of sorts,
Like finding a pristine copy of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” reports.And finally, cap, a word so very plain,
Google Gemini
But it means “no lie,” dispelling any doubt or strain.
So listen up Xennials, put down the scrunchies for a bit,
These terms are the key to understanding the next generation’s hit.
I asked my boys if this was “bussin'” and they said “bet”. 😁
I just want some insight on their words. Thanks, Gemini!
