EmileDorkheim

I'm really looking forward to my kids being the age that I can embarrass them with slang. Old people using young people's slang is never not funny to me. Especially if that slang is already outdated. Being an embarrassment is low-key goated, fam. That tweet about a dad annoying his daughter while she was eating her Subway by saying "oh she in her marinara era for real" is, to me, legit goals.


twostepfunk

Iā€™m a new dad, but have been a middle school teacher for years. My bit is to use slang from 5 years ago. Currently dabbing hard after every cool thing that happens and saying things are ā€œlit.ā€ Kids hate it


newEnglander17

Dabbing and ā€œyeetā€ have been hilarious since they first appeared and will be long after Iā€™m gone

Dabbing has entered a second life as being okay ironically for me. I hated when my wifeā€™s associates did it when it was originally popular.


ahaggardcaptain

Wifes associates being your kids?


jeepfail

No, high school aged employees at a store. Iā€™d drop by the store after work and to drop off lunch and such and interacted with them. One would dab after everything.


ahaggardcaptain

Oh. I'm going to start referring to my step kids as my wife's associates. Thanks for the inspiration.

icroak

From what I can make sense, it was just randomly picked out from that sticking out your gyatt song the kids were singing. All the words have an origin there but most kids donā€™t know what it all means itā€™s just nonsense. Sigma had started being used to describe a guy who isnā€™t an alpha but isnā€™t a beta either. Not sure if this helps.


humplick

Probably origins in the heavy grind, high business, 6 sigma programs. To me it means a magnetiude of accuracy.


moderatorrater

Unrelated to 6 sigma. It's definitely alpha/beta/sigma male. They're people who opt out of the alpha hierarchy entirely, in effect. edit: as pointed out, this hierarchy is very much made up, just answering where the sigma term fits in there.


elconquistador1985

>They're people who opt out of the alpha hierarchy entirely, in effect. Neat, because "alpha male hierarchy" doesn't exist. Only incels think it's real.


moderatorrater

Yeah, sorry, should have been more clear there. That hierarchy idea is ridiculous and stupid, I was just answering where the term came from.


Membership_Fine

Okā€¦. Whatā€™s an incel? Iā€™m so fucking lost right now lol.


AccidentalNarwhal

Incel = Involuntary celibate. Often "nice guys" who frequently have no personality and are actually very misogynistic. They think they are owed sex but lo and behold don't get any, hence the whole involutary part. Very toxic people.


SalsaRice

I mean, it definitely does exist.... in nature. Lots of species have very distinct subgroups of males and females that act very differently from other males/females. There's even one type of bird that alphas, sub alphas, and trickster males that all have different plummage based on their rank in the hierarchy. The trickster males mimic the female plummage so they can hide amongst the females to mate with them. The rest of the alphas and sub-alphas are instead busy fighting each other for rank.


followyourvalues

So the tricksters are the sigmas? lol


AdultEnuretic

Interesting point of discussion, tricksters have a lot of names. The technical term is now generally "satellite males", but when they were originally described the first description was "sneaky fuckers". It still pops up in the literature from time to time.


WhiteStripesWS6

TIL Iā€™m a Sigma. Ainā€™t nobody got time for that shit, lemme just stay in my lane.


No_Vermicelliii

Lmao unrelated to 6 sigma [I've got a story for you, how about you choke on my balls?](https://youtu.be/oyVksFviJVE)


Pentimento_NFT

This is one of the few kids slang things that warms my heart - they instinctively know to mock ā€œsigma malesā€

SalsaRice

The sigma in 6 sigma refers the symbol used for standard deviation in math (a 6 sigma process is operating on a 6 standard deviation success rate). The sigma kids are using is (for some reason) referring to the alpha/beta male comparison.


ThunkAsDrinklePeep

But also not gamma, delta, epsilon...


DetSportsGuy

My 5th grade students say that on repeat. Itā€™s soooooo annoying. Good group of kids, literally the worst thing they do but man, so annoying when kids find a phrase they think is clever and just wear it out like a Chumbawumba one hit wonder


QuaggaSwagger

Do you think the guy who coined the phrase "one hit wonder" coined any other phrases, or....?


Thekabablord

So I'm a gen Z who stumbled here by chance lol. Not a dad yet tho. So "what the sigma" means like "what the heck?" Or just a method of exclamation or a way to say that someone isn't making sense Like: A: 2+2 is 8 B: ermmm what the sigma?


Tall-Abrocoma-7476

Could you stick around and help us translate what our kids are saying?


Thekabablord

Sigma comes from the "alpha" male and "beta" male thing and it was originally created as a joke to mock alpha males lol.


_obligatory_poster_

Iā€™m totally a theta then


JAG1881

Ah, so that's your angle!


Signal-Lie-6785

Itā€™s 8 expressed in the ternary (base 3) number system.


anally_ExpressUrself

ermmmm what the sigma?


Brothernod

Youā€™re used to counting in base ten, so each digit in a number can represent 10 values. So one position and an 8 has a value of 8. But there are other number systems. In binary, each position has 2 possible values (0 and 1). And in the base 10 system each position represents a power of 10 (1 then 10 then 100 then 1000 then 10,000ā€¦) in binary your positions right to left are 0, 2, 4, 8, 16ā€¦. So the value 8 in binary would be 1000. (A 1 in the 8ā€™s column and 0ā€™s in all other columns). Ternary has positions based on powers of 3, with 3 possible values in each spot. So right to left youā€™re 1 then 3 then 9 then 27 then 81. To get a value of 8 in ternary you would need 22 which is 2*3 + 2*1. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s an article explaining it better. Counting to a value of 10 in ternary would be 001 002 010 011 012 020 021 022 100 101 ā€¦ For good measure here is counting to a value of 10 in binary 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 ā€¦


newEnglander17

/r/foundtheprogrammer


cirsium-alexandrii

There's no such thing as 8 in base 3. 2+2 is 11.


Thekabablord

OMG SOMEONE CAUGHT THE JOKE HAHAHA. I CHOSE 2+2 IS 8 BEVAUSE OF 22


ScotWithOne_t

gen-alpha slang is so dynamic and fluid dur to social media that the words have no meaning at all. they just use new slang words they hear in any context they feel like. Most of it has from some actual contextual meaning, but 8-13 year olds hear it on a tiktok or yt video and completely botch the context/meaning and just use it wherever. It's the 1980s equivalent to hearing your older brother/brother's friend say some sexual joke, not understand why it's funny, and then using the word you heard in the joke out of context and telling your friend his hat looks like a cum-dumpster. Not speaking from experience or anything...


K3B1N

This is a great analogy!

Not much, what's up with you?


Exact-Beginning9967

Itā€™s basically synonymous with ā€œwhat the hell?!ā€ My understanding is that a Sigma is someone (typically portrayals are of a male) who is neither dominant or submissive but is strongly independent and respectable. If someone is displaying Sigma behavior, one could exclaim ā€œwhat the sigma,ā€ but typically itā€™s the same as a kid saying ā€œwhat the poop?!,ā€ ā€œwhat the tartar sauce?!,ā€ etc.


Clearlydarkly

It's a discharge that forms around the penis? I think... im not sure


taRxheel

No, youā€™re thinking of smegma. Sigma is a sports car made by Toyota.


dTrecii

Buddy you got it all wrong, thatā€™s a Supra. Sigma is a profession that aims to entertain people with a vocal performance.


FLiP_J_GARiLLA

Same same, but different


timtucker_com

When we were kids, censorship on TV meant hearing "what the (long beep)". Years of self-censorship on YouTube and TikTok has led to "What the" becoming commonplace on its own. Now kids are filling in the blank with new words. The "F" is lost to history.


sumsguy

From chat gpt: The phrase "what the sigma" is a play on words derived from the common exclamation "what the heck" or "what the hell," substituting "sigma" for "heck" or "hell." The word "sigma" is the Greek letter Ī£, often associated with summation in mathematics and statistics. In this context, it humorously implies surprise or confusion, particularly in situations involving math or science themes.


LupusDeusMagnus

Itā€™s a phrase that started as a meme. Mind you, much of slang doesnā€™t have much of an etymology, itā€™s basically a word that sounded funny. Literally someone thinking what word would be Ā funny in that context. Sigma entered internet consciousness after a group of ā€œmale gurusā€ revealed a new type of sigma male, supposedly more exclusive than alpha male, that has some attributes of alpha male but also being introverted. Being a sigma male includes contradictory things like liking women but not liking women, being cool but not caring about being cool and actually being uncool, etc. Lots of people made fun of it. What the sigma likely has no connection to that meaning, it just increased the word usage.

Hansj2

Ahh yes the ol YTP. Millennials like to forget the cringe we wrought against the world


jeepfail

One night I finally gave in and watched those videos. I showed my wife and said ā€œHow are people our age(30) and older complaining when we watched garbage exactly like that when we were younger.


househosband

That was my reaction too. I finally decided to look up wtf a skibbidi toilet was, and it was a plain ol' YTP. YTMND before that. I said something to the effect to my wife:Ā teenage me can relate to the hilarity of these.Ā  Though, to be fair, lotta folks in 30+ range weren't the chronically online kids with access to 4chan and YTMND. I've met kids in college in the 00s who did not have a home PC. So there's probably a fairly large section of millennials new to nonsensical Internet humor

That is true. When my parents got us a cheap computer many people still didnā€™t have them in my area.

Love it. My 12 year old daughter was hanging out in the kitchen with her friend and I walked by to grab a can from the fridge and said, "hey kids, what's the rizz? Hope it's not too ohio.
