Anyone else see my confusion?

No

It just means sketchy

 

It does mean sketchy but I think since it's become a popular slang word now, it's over-used and has broadened in scope. The main deff is, if something is sketch, it's a bit off, not cool. That's my interpretation based on context clues of hearing it used frequently myself lately.

 

Never heard it.

 

I had never heard it either, T.

UD agrees with you, HUM & Uber Crack;

I have to agree about Uber drivers being sketch

 

LoL.

Wuts that sposed ta mean!?

Hey, why are you all up so early?

And Good Morning!

 

Have a great day, Suze!

Just replace ketch with hit. That should make it less confusing.

 

It’s just millennials getting cooler and lazier by the day.

I heard a girl in actual verbal conversation use LOL before.

I worry about the world's future.

Lol that's awkward. I've said that haha but yeah I also worry about the world and sometimes even myself

 

Ten years ago those same drivers would have been called "creepers" by the teenage, early 20-something crowd. Now they are "sketch" or "sketchball" as I've heard. Just the constant evolution of colloquialism.

One of the perks (?) of driving Uber is you have your finger on the pulse of the idiots.

 

Don't worry. In 20 years or so, all the hairstyles, fashions, and cool words currently in style, will look just as ridiculous as the ones from our youth look today. By then, some of the people currently using them, will be balding 40 something Uber drivers (or maybe self driving car chargers) complaining about how entitled the post millennial generation is.

Ayup, Reg. And ya made me think of a thing; (paraphrasing from memory)

"The youth of today are disrespectful to their elders, dress poorly and their music is atrocious."
Aristotle

 

I am trying to figure out more specifically what Sketch means. I thought it was short for Sketchy, but the way some pax use it, I just don't know. Here are some examples.

"My last driver was waving a razor blade at some bicyclist, it was really sketch."

"I had a driver stop 2 houses before mine, it was sketch."

"This driver I had, he was so sketch, I got in the car and he told me I looked pretty."

"We had this driver, never said a word, just hello and goodbye. He was really sketch."

Anyone else see my confusion?

I guess for the "cool" people, 2 syllables is a burden.

Seems like snowflakes are taking it over as a slang word and its slang usage doesn't really fit the real definition. Like the word 'literally'. I hear snowflakes say things like "I literally peed five gallons when I got to the port-a-potty."

 

Sounds like you have done the same with the term "snowflake". Just sayin'...

 

The style that I hope doesn't come back is the giant holes in the ears. The first time I saw that I was standing in line at an Arco and all three guys in front of me had those giant ear holes. Tripped me out.

By the way, now that the post-millennial group is now 18, what shall we call these children of millennials?

 

...what shall we call these children of millennials?

Generation Z. Hopefully that the last of 'em. It's the last letter of the alphabet, so I'm hopeful.

 

Gen Z is correct. But Gen Z kids are actually better than millennials by far. So we are trending in a better direction, hopefully. (doesn't hold breath)

 

And Gen Y is correct for millennials, but that's not what we call them.

 

The new generation failing at creating catch phrases.
60's groovy
70's Far out
80's Gag me with a spoon
90's As if
2000's You mad bro
2010 Sketch

 

I don't see "like" in there.

 

LoL, T

Nope.
Try replacing with the word you already said you thought it meant... Works. Every single example.
