The candidates for the youth word 2023 were presented on August 9th. “On Lock” is also a phrase among the suggestions one hears frequently on Twitch. But our author Schuhmann already suspects: MontanaBlack will claim to have made the word “Diggah” big in Germany in the first place, because the 35-year-old is constantly claiming something for himself. Whether with iced tea or everyday verbs: we in Germany actually only know practically everything because of him.
These are the 10 candidates for the youth word 2023: The Tagesschau now enjoys having the youth word presented by the speaker Susanne Daubner and spreading it widely on social media.
Because Daubner’s way of pronouncing the youth words in a distanced and professional manner has become a meme since “Sus” and “Slay” at the latest:

Why will MontanaBlack claim the word “Diggah” for itself? German twitch streamer MontanaBlack is known for claiming that he has this or that phrase, product or gesture “only big and well known in Germany”.

MontanaBlack made everything big in Germany
What things are still complaining about? As an example of what MontanaBlack has already described as “I actually made that big in Germany”, serve:

Is Diggah from him? No, really not. Diggah became known throughout Germany in the 90s through Hamburg hip-hop greats. Artists such as Absolute Beginner, Five Stars Deluxe or “Das Bo” (‘of course, ‘of course, certainly thicker) made the word known in Germany 30 years ago.
You should be able to treat the 90s to this cultural achievement. Perhaps MontanaBlack will argue that he then introduced the word to a new generation of viewers.
The word “Auf Lock” actually comes from the German Twitch community and can serve as an example of the influence of gaming influencers on young people.

NPC, on the other hand, is clearly a word from the role-playing and MMORPG scene, so it could well have slipped into language use through Twitch.
