I hate it.

Like the person thinks they're 19 and living in the 70s or something

I say it all the time 🤣 I think it might be a Scottish thing too??

It's wild that you have such strong feelings about it.

I’m from NI and say it at least once a week. Common parlance here, generally used in response to surprising news, gossip or adverse weather conditions.

It’s a pretty common thing to say. Not sure it’s really associated with a particular age or decade.

I'm Irish, we've said 'wild' for as long as I can remember 😁

It’s because where previously a person might say something like “that’s crazy” or “it’s mental” those are now not acceptable as they are deemed discriminatory towards people with mental health problems. (Work in a very right-on organisation)

I think OP means people using the phrase ‘that’s wild.’

I quite like it. It makes sense as in wild like making a ‘wild guess.’

🤷🏽‍♀️

You hate a normal saying? That’s wild.
