Amirite

Slinging slang, snazzy…dang
Zoomers zing, zazzy.
Loosening tongues, eroding
out the path well set.
the text of millennials, lit.
Forget about correct spelling—
Sit on the keys…amirite?

Amirite - slang (merriam-webster) used in writing for "am I right" to represent or imitate the use of this phrase as a tag question in informal speech

I was like, “what is rad?”
