Slaps isn’t new in an ‘Internet’ sense, it’s been around for a few years, but it’s reached enough saturation now that it is commonly used. And now that it’s common, fr fr, more people ate being introduced to it as if it was new.

I’m in a country specific discord channel where immigrants and wannabes discuss realities of moving.
Recently a bachelor student joined and in every second sentence or so I had to google something to understand what he wants.
From the exchange I learned that if something slaps, it’s a good thing apparently.
Is that (slaps) even new? It doesn’t feel new.
I’m 42 and never heard it before in that context.

It just seems like people thinking sus is new when we were saying it since at least 1990.
All of this has happened. All of this will happen again.
Sounds like an Ismo gag:
I have recently learned the word, ah, slap. If I slap a thing, that is, ah, bad. If it is the thing that slaps, um, that is good.
Hah yeah he could definitely bring that across.
