Are you fluent in Gen Z or do you need subtitles for TikTok comments? In this episode of Down the Sado Hole, we dive into the chaotic, unhinged, and oddly poetic world of Gen Z slang.

We break down the meaning behind phrases like “it’s giving,” “no cap,” “delulu,” “the ick,” and “rizz,” talk about where this language comes from, and why it spreads so fast online. We also look at how older generations react to it, where the line is between fun and cringe, and what slang says about the way Gen Z sees the world.

Whether you’re trying to understand your kids, your coworkers, or just your For You Page, this episode will help you translate the chaos… no cap.
