Well you can’t expect people to get that slang if you use it like doublespeak. Most people will still interpret the word as its classic dictionary meaning.
No offense, but you’re clearly not the target audience of that tumblr post. I wouldn’t speak like that here, but I do on my tumblr account. Just like how 90s kids wouldn’t call something sick to their grandparents unless it’s feeling unwell.
The target audience understood the meaning of the post, I saw it, laughed, and thought that it was sweet that oop and their dad are able to connect even if they barely understand each other. My wife felt the same way.

What are you talking about? That’s literally how slang works?
not in a situation where the original use makes more sense than the slang use, and the slang use is already close in meaning to the original use. 🤷
