Voices: ‘Skibidi’ has no place in the dictionary – and here’s why

I was on a rollercoaster with my kids recently and the ride, apparently, was “skibidi”. The hot dogs were also skibidi; the entire theme park was skibidi – but I, when I screeched about how I wasn’t going to spend another £15 on tokens for more goes on a giant teacup that spins you round fast enough to give you whiplash, thank you very much, was not skibidi. I was not skibidi at all.

I could have been, though – because the Gen Alpha slang term “skibidi toilet” (confused, yet?) can also mean something terrible, depending on the context in which it’s said and used. So, maybe I was skibidi?
