I learned this one recently, when a student recently called me aura farming, which is cool since piccolo was always my homie.
I think it’s funny that a 1990s anime has a bit of a 2020s kid following.

Why is their a member who I believe to be a minor explaining to adults what the words fine shyt, gooning and simp mean on a Pokemon collecting forum?
I’m all for off-topic discussions however, I’m genuinely disappointed to see a thread of this low quality and out right vulgar be posted here.
Do better.

I actually was prepared to answer this question: while yes those words are not the best examples of this forum thread, the reason why I did those 3 is because it’s something you’ll hear about often while you’re scrolling through videos made by Gen Z. If they weren’t common, I wouldn’t be explaining this at all, there are a lot I won’t even add here at all because of this reason.
Gen Z uses these types of terms more than you think, and it’s simply apart of daily converstion to the point where it dosen’t matter as much anymore what the words mean. I will remove those words if it makes you this uncomfortable. However I will not remove the thread simply because of a members disappointment (unless stated by a mod). I have adults on here ask me all the time what the words mean, and I think it’s better that they’re able to learn and search these words for themselves.

lol. My thought exactly. 
I’ve learned this one from my students too. Tween/Teenage boys around young female teachers… lol. 
It’s not vulgar. Just the swooning, distracted, daydreaming state. We all find it funny, as long as it doesn’t lead to something disrespectful.
