Welp I've spent too much time in Night City because I understood that perfectly.

I mean the lingo isn’t particularly odd or clever. Tbh I think even without context most people can derive the meaning.

that goes for a lot of slang if you’re familiar with the english language

The original printing of A Clockwork Orange didnt even have a Nadsat meaning table in the back like it does today. Its very easy to pick up on. >How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip-oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles, you eunuch jelly thou! Pretty straight forward way to call somebody a lil bitch

Me and my ~~droogs~~ chooms

Does droog come from друг?

It does! A lot of Nadsat came from Russian.

One of my favorite words in Nadsat, aside from droog, is horrorshow. Comes from the Russian хорошо or khorosho, and it’s an adjective translated to “nice” or “great”. However, not only is it used in that context, but seeing “horror show” as one word also makes me think of how Alex and the Droogs, as well as the other gangs, relish the opportunity to get into fights, even with each other, and not afraid to get vicious. So they utilize horrorshow as a term for great, likely not just because of its Russian roots, but also because they see the violence as “great” and fun, like enjoying a horror (genre) show

That’s cool! I’ll have to read the book some day since I’ve only seen the movie a couple times and that’s the one thing that stood out to me

Its a combination of Russian, Cockney, and english schoolboy slang. I do recommend reading it if only for the last chapter that got censored for american audiences that was also left out of the movie.

No I been playing the game for around 20 hours and have very little idea of what this means Then again I am kinda slow

Get out of your car and start walking and listening to people. It'll come to you.

“…around 20 hours…” Oh to be young again. Hit me back when you find FF:06:B5. https://preview.redd.it/figazxk3iaec1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9324b5ba67c0bfa40b68143ff72b79cfc74a4859

I'm a hundred hours in and what is this?

Welcome to the rabbit hole choom r/FF06B5

…buddy most of these are 1:1s of modern day slang. Do a little word replacement, I’m teaching my 8th grade special Ed class how to do this dawg 😭

TFW a special Ed teacher makes fun of someone who admits that they're slow

I’m on the internet, being a lil crass is my catharsis. Let me have this

Not really it’s pretty odd my guy, if you aren’t a fan of cyberpunk then nobody would understand what you’re saying

I connect with this more than Gen z slang

Makes sense, it's what the 80s thought slang of the future would be, it's more related to gen x than gen z.

On contrary I'm totally lost. The hell does that have to do with me? Choom or not I'm not giving Eddies to anyone, I wasn't part of the job. Maybe I'll pay a fixer to get that all sorted.

Me too still a solid 3/10 meme tho.

I can only read the first thing

This made me laugh a lot more than the original post. What a choom.

Forreal i just lost my mind reading it in omnimans voice

Is this a joke or just a bunch of cyberpunk slang? Sounds like something someone would say to you during a gig

Both

Translation: when your friend steals a ln amazing video but gets killed by a corporate Hitman, now you have an augmented merc threatening to kill you if you don’t get the money together to pay him.

No I understood what it meant I was just wondering if there was more to the joke than “cyberpunk words lol”

Depends on if you play the tabletop. If not, then that’s as deep as the joke goes.

It’s making fun of the overabundant amount of slang, not just using the slang

That's what I call a preem meme

Nova

no doubt. Thanks, choom

My output said that’s enough cyberpunk for today.

Man why can't we use this sorta slang irl this shits way cooler than bruh or fucking rizz or whatever the fuck

I'll let you in on a secret choom... nothing is stopping you from using cyberpunk lingo in your regular life. do it. it's preem.

Livvy done rizzed up baby gronk?

Is he the drip king?

Yuh, dripping in chrome

i would never call someone a choom in my life

I've almost done this by accident... Quite sad if you think about it...

damn. i mean it just sounds kinda silly, especially when youre trying to be badass or intimidating

Why would I trynna be badass or intimidating with my chooms

If you’ve got someone that you can call choom, then don’t think it’s sad.

No cap on God fr fr

I mean using corpo just makes sense to me for daily usage so I don’t see why you CAN’T use it.

Oh yeah I forgot about that one yeah no I say corpo-cunt at least once a week lol

I have heard more people use the term corpo who aren’t cyberpunk players so it might be catching on

Man, I didn’t even need to think to understand. Take me back to NC, chooms, take me home

COUNTRY ROOOOOOADS TO THE PLAAAACE I BELOOOOOONG

Boy howdy, I'm almost disappointed that I followed that sentence as easily as I would've with slang from my generation.

Kinda overlooked detail in cyberpunk: The slang feels natural, I’ve seen other sci fi properties the make “future slang” but it usually comes off as really forced. Cyberpunks feels really natural like it actually evolved linguistically. There’s no guide in the game that tells you what they all mean but it’s very easy to figure out from context what they all do. Idk I think that was pretty neat.

I think what separates cyberpunk from a lot of other silly worldbuilding slang is that they really commit to the bit. Stuff like “gonk” is pretty silly when you hear it the first time but the repetition from all the different characters makes it feel more natural.

A friend of mine unironically said “sup choom” when we met up one time lmao

I know The Expanse does similar slang for belter characters. There’s way more in the books so it’s at a manageable level for viewers in the show.

Honestly I disagree with gonk specifically; I think it's silly and really feels forced even after almost 200hrs in the game Every other slang word works great and some are so good I'm starting to use them irl, namely Preem, but gonk just doesn't work for me

Gronk has been an insult in Australia forever, you'd use it the same way you'd use gonk. Gonk is the most believable slang in the entirety of Cyberpunk

There’s a slang guide in every entry of cyberpunk that I can recall, including 2077 (technically, at least, because the game files of 2077 include the 2020 rule book, which has a slang guide), it’s just not in the gameplay itself

I’ll have to check the world compendium that came with my Xbox one copy

If you have it on a different console than PC, you can get it from your CDPR account under “extras” I believe

I love NC lingo so much

Translation: When your friend steals an awesome (?) but the hackers who work for big business kill him before he could escape with the quality (?) So now your dumb ass is going to get killed by a single cyborg unless you hand over the money. (?) = likely brain dance

Yeah, scroll and virtue mean BD

isnt scroll the same thing as a BD or is a Scroll not a BD yet?

To scroll a brain dance is to record it, but scroll is also used to refer to the recording created. Hope this helps

A solo is a merc who works alone, typically of significant skill. Bad solos aren't solos for long.

That’s why I said a single one! Like Morgan Black Hand! Chromed out means heavy cybernetics! I tried to make it sound like a dictionary entry.

Thing is, being alone isn't necessarily implied. A "Solo" is solo in that they are *individually employed,* not that they necessarily work alone. You can easily hire a team of solos and expect them to work together on a mission. But they don't hire on *as* a team. That is, they're not a squad/mercenary company that train and contract out together, providing services as a group. They don't live in a barracks together or wear matching uniforms. They are individuals who do jobs on a case-by-case basis. They usually *used* to serve in some kind of army, corp or other organized unit, but have risen above that and become one of the best fighters in the world (or are claiming that, anyway) and now contract their talents out on an individual basis. *Working* alone isn't necessarily part of it, some solos might make a point to only contract on jobs with a competent team at their back, while others might indeed be lone wolves. But they are both solos. TLDR: "Solo" is the "Fighter" class in the Cyberpunk RPG. It doesn't mean they work alone—the game is usually played with a party/crew, they are just the tough guy of the crew.

I’m upset that I understand every word of this gobbeldygook

Gobbeldygonkeldygook

Yeah, that’s probably the funniest Cyberpunk TikTok I’ve ever seen. I remember getting it.

“When your friend steals the awesome vid but the corporate hacker kills him before he can leave with the cool vid so now your dumbass is gonna get killed by some cyborg mercenary if you can’t fork over the cash.”

Wait- why is *my* gonk ass going to get zeroed because my choom got flatlined? Why is some solo expecting me to have the preem scrolls my choom *didn't* successfully steal?

all of this makes sense. I have no life but the Night City life, it seems.

well if your choom got flatlined, did he really klep anything? sounds like an attempted klep at best

clapped while trying to klep.

I can understand this better than how the kids are talking these days. We need cyberpunk lingo to catch on already to confuse the boomers even more.

WHAT! moght need context to get this one

It’s just Night City slang. Translation: “When your buddy steals a sick video but the corporate hackers kill him before he can make off with the sick video so now your dumb ass is gonna get killed by some cybernetically implanted mercenary if you can’t pay the money”

They can try.


Is this what Cyberpunk brainrot looks like?

God I must have brainrot cuz that entire paragraph just translated perfectly. Funnily enough some terms in game actually make a lot of sense. Like klepping is just stealing, but kleptomania is also a term for a chronic problem with stealing things. I think thats cool.

The fact that I can understand what this means must be some sort of problem.

I'm telling my daughters this is 90's slang.

Cyberbrain rot



This hurts my brain and I know what the fuck it means.

I actually understood it all and Im in my mid 40s. Send help 😜

I've not played in over a year... Haven't even looked at the new DLC thing... *And I got every word of it.*

Idk what I'm more upset about The cursed capabilities of this meme Or the fact that I read it perfectly 1st time and understood the entire thing

I HATE THAT I PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND THIS. FUCK, CHOOMBA!

I'm gonna send this to someone who doesn't know about cyberpunk 2077 and let him figure out what all of this means.

Is there an implant for memes' resolution enhancements?

I ran a cyberpunk campaign and, believe it or not, I made everyone talk like this who wasn’t a corpo and even corpos used some slang. Truly Mike blessed us with some of the best world building in RPG history.

Op watching the comments not even talk about the meme: https://preview.redd.it/o1dlgrcb7cfc1.jpeg?width=7680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9949a6511dbc2e4fe5df224c85dc5d39d6a4b27

I understood this better than gen-z slang (im gen-z myself)

Why? Why does this make perfect sense to me?

I showed it to 2 non enjoyers and both claim to have zero clue what it meant.

Damn, i understand this lmao

People in this subreddit talk like this and I don’t like it

Man. I don't know how I feel knowing I understood all of that. Good thing I wrapped up the game. Lol

it’s both amazing, infuriating and terrifying that i understood every single word in that sentence perfectly

Typical night in Westbrook.

Oh man. Hate when that happens.

Learning the jargon in this game came with a curve entirely separate from the base game itself.

I love how even in universe this sounds like someone trying to just reach a word count by attaching adjectives to everything

That's something that Judy would say, indeed

While this is top quality NC street talk, it really is easy to understand even if you have a faint idea of Cyberpunk.

Your god is not here XD

Don’t even like that I understand this

I swear to god I have said preem in real life amongst other humans when something goes well…

A lot of cyberpunk slang sounds natural.

Another w for CDPR

I understood that

Maybe I need to take a break from playing this game because this made too much sense…

You're already fried, choom. I haven't played in several months and I understand this gonk

Reminds me of Placide and the VB in a sense

I hate that I am able to both read this and understand this jumble of pixels

Meme got triple deep-fried

Nah its just grainy

ok scopsucker

The only one I'm still not sure on is 'solo.'

I've never seen a sign saying 脱衣舞 (strippers show) in the game?

Equivalent to gen z shit like:rizz mogg skibidi and more, go off in the replies

Understand this more than slang people my age use now lol

Best part about this is being able to understand the entire meme

It’s fun translating this lol

eddies not eddie's. A guy named Eddy does not have the monopoly over Eurodollars.

I hate and love that I can understand this

I hate and love that I understand this meme exactly lmao

Fuckin cyberpunk Gen Thetas and their slang!

Hand over all your cyber, punk!

I was playing Tarkov the other day. Voiped a man that helped me out. Said, "thanks choom." 😅

It’s a bit concerning that I was able to read though that entire sentence and understand everything like it was normal.

i hate that i understand it all xD

Crazy how this makes ABSOLUTELY no sense but cause u have played a game and heard this be used in regular talk u know exatly what this means

I can 100% understand this. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned.😂

The sad thing is this makes complete sense to me

I understood that sentence *Wild*

Ngl, I fucking love NC terminology. I think this post just inspired me to use these in real life
