Gen Alpha slang · Adjective
skibidi
Meaning
Skibidi is Gen Alpha slang for bad, weird or cringe — the opposite of sigma, used mainly by ages 7–14.
Where it came from
From the Skibidi Toilet animated series on YouTube, which began in 2023 and became one of the most-watched things Gen Alpha has ever produced. The word itself is nonsense; the meaning attached to it afterwards.
