If this goes viral
A short, funny story entirely in Gen Alpha slang, with an English translation right below it. And a small dictionary on top of it.
Gen Alpha Slang Story
So, like, me and Ava were just vibing at the mall when this NPCbarista totally skibidi’d our order. I’m talkin’ full-on delulu moment. She gave me a pumpkin spice latte when I asked for an iced matcha. 😭
Ava was like, “Bro, no cap, that’s a fanum tax if I’ve ever seen one.”
Then this sigma dude behind us just rizzed the barista up like it was nothing. Dude said, “No worries, you’re slaying either way.” 💅
We were gagged. Like, actual mid moment turned GOATed instantly.
Anyway, I snapped a pic for my finsta and said, “If this goes viral, I’m buying a Skibidi plush.”
Ava said, “Bet.”
💬 Translation (in English)
So, Ava and I were hanging out at the mall when the barista made a silly mistake with our order. She gave me a pumpkin spice latte instead of the iced matcha I asked for.
Ava said, “No kidding, that’s just the cost of dealing with random mishaps.”
Then this confident guy behind us started flirting with the barista smoothly, saying, “Don’t worry, you’re doing great.”
We were shocked … what started as a disappointing moment suddenly became hilarious and kind of awesome.
I took a photo for my private Instagram account and said, “If this post goes viral, I’m buying a Skibidi plush toy.”
Ava agreed.
