You doin too much
Love that for you
Why?
Also, you can't stop language from changing. Change is certain. We don't talk like people 100 years ago and that's a good thing.

My guess is they are used sarcastically/ironically and whoever made the board is sick of hearing them.

If my kid ever comes home from school with a picture like this I'm having words with the teacher. Let the children have their fun ffs
The principal is getting a 3 hour tense but polite discussion on prescriptivism vs descriptivism and he's going to be defending descriptivism whether he likes it or nor and he's going to lose the entire while being simply unable to hangup. This will never happen again.
I hate finna more than all the others.
it's AAVE, not made up, and there's literally no reason why "gonna" should be more legit. it's the exact same construction.
None of those words will make me like it.
“Going to” is far superior to “fixing to,” so I don’t know what you are talking about.
They don't really mean the exact same thing, or at least not in my dialect. "Fixing to" implies that the thing will happen imminently, not just in the future.
Fair enough. I do think that connotation doesn’t necessarily carry over to the “gonna” and “finna” forms, but it’s a good point.
That said, “fixing to” still grates on my brain in ways I can’t begin to describe.

Finna has come back?
It’s never gone away!
Kids are gonna kids
I don't understand what teachers think a "banned words list" is gonna accomplish except being the new target of bored kids/teens
(Unless they're just tired of hearing it, but this isn't a good solution imo)
On my list ...
Um

Perfect
Know what I mean?
End of the day.

Literally 1984
Type S? Not an Acura fan?
How did all of this brain damage manifest itself?
Where grimace shake and skibidi shit
Sweet fresh words. You da bomb, right list of legit dope slang. Boyah!
This list is missing "on my soul", which the illiterate children at my school (who have only ever heard it on snaptok and facegram, and are only poorly parroting it) replace with "oh my SO".
And here I thought that they misspelt 'banal'...
On god I have a co-worker named Riz though. Straight bussin’.
Why are grandmas banned, what did the do
Every cohort of kids will have their slang and in-jokey vocabulary, a very small part of which will be entered permanently into the lexicon. I'd like to nominate "rizz" as this generation's contribution.
