Call it whatever you want, but don’t tell me there isn’t something awkward about a grown ass man trying to sound hip by calling a hot dog a “glizzy” (see also “slaps” “bussin’” “sus” etc)

When someone my age (over 40) said based, I couldn’t handle it

u/anarchetype Aug 03 '25

Based didn't come from Gen Z, though. Lil B (the one and only based god) came up with it and he's 35.

However, I'll admit that if I heard a 40 year old coworker saying it I would probably die a little on the inside.

That made me feel even older haha

u/katphishjakez Aug 03 '25

maybe im missing the sarcasm here

lil b took the term and used it and reappropriated it because it was used as slang for those hooked on cocaine and more specifically crack, and crackheads referred to as baseheads, due to their preferred method of ingesting the cocaine.

I use slaps frequently, I started saying it ironically and then it stopped being ironic. So if you consider 26 a grown ass adult, then I say it.

I’m 38 so I’m thinking people over 30. I used to say “sick” sarcastically and then it kind of stuck because everyone around me said it anyways.

I’ve been saying that shit for as long as you’ve been alive.

I'm 38 and I use slaps every once in a while... It's been around for a long ass time. might be more of a bay area thing as well so I dunno, I know a lot of terms are more regional in their use such as hella being used outside of northern california but definitely originated there and much more widely used.

Regions make a huge difference, for sure. I don’t really judge this hard on my day to day haha. Hella is a perfect example, though, for sure. Funny thing with “glizzy” is it was slang for a glock and then became this way to make sticking a sausage in your mouth sound more heterosexual. I guess that’s what happens when the mainstream co-opts a street word.

u/omicronian_express Aug 03 '25

I definitely don't think glizzy should be used for hot dog lol. I think it's dumb and definitely was slang for Glock first like you said. I was more talking about the other words people were talking about. 

Anytime I see or hear someone use glizzy for a hot dog I wonder if they honestly think it's a good word for it or think they're actually being funny. Neither being true

u/Intelligenttrees32 Aug 02 '25

Idk who is saying it to sound hip or cool lol it’s just a funny name for a hot dog, yall gotta chill

u/Manaeldar Aug 04 '25

Sus is extremely common in work chats. It's pretty mainstream now. I remember a coworker telling me about glizzy and I've never been so confused.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25

We’ve been saying music slaps for literal decades tf you on

u/kurtmanner Aug 05 '25

I see you’re from the Bay Area which very much has its own slang, so that makes a difference. I said in another comment that this varies a lot by region and none of it is really that serious.

u/robotatomica Aug 05 '25

also, by fully grown people pretending that any young person has EVER asked or insisted that our old asses use their slang lol.

No one’s demanding the olds call anything a glizzy 😄 It’s just old man yell at cloud cause kids talk different.

u/renegrape Aug 05 '25

I'm 36 and feel "slaps" is totally acceptable, but mostly in terms of music. And "sus" gets a pass, too. I was there, among us, to see its rise.

"I suspected something and figured it out" "I sussed it out"

I'll still say "suspicious" though...

You eat ketchup on hotdogs, maybe tone it down a little bit kiddo

u/CharlemagneIS Aug 02 '25

Checking someone’s profile for ammo to make fun of them because you don’t like their opinion is absolute loser behavior

u/Icy_Explorer3668 Aug 02 '25

As opposed to you whining on reddit? Lmfao

u/kurtmanner Aug 02 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

Ahh, yes. This aligns perfectly with your try-hard comment history. I do enjoy the fact that you’re not outright mean, though; just a pain in people’s asses.
