@kate ‘subscribe to our Patreon’ for formal occasions

@kate “click the bell icon so you’ll never miss a new video” part will be more difficult to roll off the tongue

@kate In Irish people said "Dia duit" for "Hello". "Dia duit" literally means "God be with you" too.

@kate or a hrathwarming "nfolloblock" if the conversation did not end well 🙃

@kate some already do, I think. 😄

@kate@fosstodon.org You mean you don't already?

@kate smash the button.

@kate lucky subcry!

@kate oh interesting, english has that kind of common phrase too

russian has spasibo, which means thank you, comes from spasi bog / asking god to save them essentially

@kate my 10yo son told me today that the maker of his Transformers toy call it a blaster not a "g-u-n" so that "they don't get de-monitized"

@kate
I think I heard of some small kids that were given YT to spend time with doing exactly that.

@kate

Pfüati!

@kate "likesubscribenringthebell" is more tempting 😉

@kate likesubpatreon

@kate I bristled uncomfortably at this

Oh no

@kate

Well, everybody on youtube, including the AI, already does . . .

@kate You're way behind the times. 😂

@kate “NoThanksAndUnsubscribe”

@kate O Plikenscribe, O Plikenscribe, O Plikenscribe, I prithee. 🎄 https://youtu.be/LC6F8wnYKkg #simlish

@kate wouldn't that be start a conversation? 🤔

@kate Reminds me of a post I saw somewhere recently where someone suggested that “chat” (like twitch chat) had the potential to evolve into English’s first designated 4th person noun.

@kate "likensub" :3c

@kate My 7yo says 'send!' when passing a card in a card game.

@kate Get more mileage out of “Momento Mori”… ;)

@kate When parting from friends after a night out: Hi’thable!

@kate Leekensou

@kate “Likenscrye!”

@kate something like this already happening with youth attaching ".exe" to indicate a poisonous or bad version of a thing/character. It probably stems from "don't open if it ends in .pdf.exe" or similar warnings regarding email attachments but seems to have gained a completely detached cultural meaning.

@kate

or "mayber" for "maybe later"

@kate or hiddabell

@kate Gotta work in that 'hit the bell' phrase some how, but I agree.

@kate The werewolf variant of it.

@kate

Somewhere in the future I suspect "linkinbio" might find a niche as well.

@kate likensub everyone, I'm going to take a nap

@kate
And maybe most of photos in the future will have people open their mouths and look surprised just like those in YT thumbnails.

@kate my 8-year-old tells me to “smash that like button”. so i have a gesture for that.

@kate i can’t tell if the “goodbye” part is serious or not

@kate like and unsubscribe ?!

@kate So cursed

@kate So, Buh-Bye becomes Scruh-Scribe?

@kate There's a Simpsons game where if you tap one of the Barts he says "I can't believe I replaced 'goodbye' with 'smell ya later'!"

@kate my kid already does this. I don’t know if it’s the echolalia, or a joke, tbh it could be either with her.

@kate YMMD!!

@kate this from wholesomecomics:

@kate The current generation of children already say--to themselves--things like, "Hi, I'm <name> and we're going to build a Lego house today." Then, when they stop playing with a particular thing, "Thanks for watching my stream, remember to like and subscribe." It's eerie.

@kate corblimey

@kate this is the funniest stuff I've seen today

@kate Lichensub hopefully. #lichensubscribe

@kate

@kate hi

@kate "likesibe"

@kate I have been known to end a rant with an internal mental chorus of Adam Buxton's "Like and Subscribe" closing theme tune from his podcasts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLXaJRjC5CE

@kate
And a hearty likenscribe to you too!

@kate likenscribe

@kate this will age like Roman concrete

@kate heresmasond cloud to you too!

@kate i thought goodbye was the opposite of evilbye which is what you say to someone you hate unless you were being sarcastinc then you still say goodbye

@kate and YouTube be with you

@kate

@kate There is a Robert Sheckley (IIRC) novel where people are greeting and parting with ad slogans and there was a social stigma if one didn’t use the correct slogan or something like that. Great novel! I’ll update the post if I find it.

@kate @CultureDesk I've certainly heard of kids referring to adverts as "skip-ads" because of YouTube.

@kate Before we do that, can we do away with saying "bless you" when someone sneezes?

@kate @anildash I keep thinking if I had a nature video channel I'd call it Lichen Subscribe.

@kate You just reminded me of "kthxbai", though that wasn't so much a verbal thing.

Or we could go retro and start answering phone calls with "Ahoy-hoy".

@kate We are on this path. likensubscribe.

@kate So just saying “bye” is the non religious version then?

@kate lichenscribe

@kate “Smashlton“ - Smash that like button

@kate eugh. now I need to find a different way to say that.

@kate hello at the beginning of a conversation is replaced with helb. Hit Early Like Button

@kate oh I didn't know this, in Spanish and Catalán is the same, but way more obvious

@kate Likenscrye could work I guess 😬

@kate I read about a ~5yo kid who watched a lot of YouTube and started using "please subscribe to my channel" as a salutation 😂

@kate @GulfCoastJake I always say “gesundheit” when someone sneezes to avoid “[god] bless you”. (Although it’s not a perfect solution, since there are links between heit/health and holy.)
Does this mean I need to say Cheerio instead of Goodbye?! Or the old-fashioned Australian word “Hooray/Hooroo”?

@kate @anildash

“Lichen-sub, Scribe”

“And also with you”

@kate
Or "Link simbio!"

"What does that even mean, they'll ask. Someone will remember archaic spelling "links in bio", but no recollection of what it meant...

@kate I bet the sub part would be dropped to make "likenscribe." and people would get the etymology confused and think it means "I enjoy what we wrote together."

@kate that would be HILARIOUS

@kate I've read that we can't confirm its "god be with ye." Not that that affects your point!
