If you’re reading this, you speak English. But did you know that another language has sprung up right within English, that most of us can’t understand?
That’s right.
GenZ kids, born in the late nineties, use English words in different ways, so
that nobody over 25 can understand them. They’re doing this right under our
noses! It’s like the Pig Latin we used to speak as kids. But much harder to
decipher.
So I’m giving
all of you a break, and helping you become bilingual by this afternoon:
First, my own flub—teaching a group of teens who understood that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's “ship” name is not the name of their boat. It’s their relationship name. Sheesh! (And sheesh no longer means good grief, but is a compliment to someone.)
No Cap—This means
no lie.
Dank—we think
of dank and dark, like a sewer system. Nope—it means excellent and of high
quality.
Clocked—means
someone caught you, or saw through your act.
Snack—Oh, no.
It’s not chips or cookies. It’s a person you find attractive.
Drip—Remember when a drip was a dullard, a doofus. But today it means a cool or sexy style.
Bet—Remember feeling
cool when you learned “word” confirmed something? Well that was a Millennial
thing. Now the word for that is bet.
Cooked—You’re
done for
Hey, Sis—this is
a greeting for any friend of any gender.
Boujee—expensive, extravagant
Frfr—For real,
for real.
And if you still
can’t speak GenZ, you’re definitely cheugy, you Boomer.
But anyone, of
any age will Bet that my Youtube Mom channel is the best place to find fast
life hacks. No cap, Bro. Frfr. Subscribe with 10K others!
