This is short for “crazy.” Whenever someone does something that should get them sent to the psych ward. Like, you know, wearing yoga pants to work.

Awesome with a cherry on top. Like, an ice cream sundae is awesome, but adding some chocolate sauce would be awesome sauce. Then add a cherry. Confused? Good. 

When you see a group of friends that you want to emulate with your own known associates. It’s usually used on social media and accompanied with a hashtag. What’s that?

Don’t worry, we’re getting there.

A pound sign used to tag search items on social media. Don’t call it a pound sign, unless you’re looking at it on an old-fashioned rotary phone. 

You’re telling the truth. It’s (maybe?) a reference to putting your hand on a Bible when you’re on trial. This is the same thing, but, like, friendship trial. 

Whenever you do something even remotely like an adult would do, it’s “adulting.” Did you open a savings account? That’s adulting. Did you microwave a Hot Pocket all on your

own, instead of ordering a pizza for the eighth night in a row? Adulting is hard. 

Pronounce this one like a British person saying “turned.” A “turnt” individual is overly excited, in a possibly not-entirely-sober kind of way.

A really well put together human. Everything they do is perfect. Usually it’s a reference to style. She got a new haristyle that no longer makes her look like an

asylum escapee? It’s “on fleek.”

Usually a reference to an event, something being “lit” means that it is lively and exciting. Most of the time, it’s exciting because booze was served. (That makes any event

lit.)

True + Real. This is the modern version of someone who “keeps it real.” You could maybe substitute in a “cool cat” if you grew up in the ‘60s and

want to embarrass your children.

“That feeling when…” Usually in reference to an event in your life that causes an over-the-top reaction. Like “TFW” you open a box of crayons and it rockets you back

to grade school. Let’s not get into why you’re using crayons. 

“Throwback.” This is often seen on social media. You can tag an old picture with #TB and post it on days when you feel too disgusting to be seen even

by the lens of your iPhone camera.

“One True Pairing.” People usually use this acronym when discussing their favorite fictional couples. Ross and Rachel were OTP for so, so many TV watchers in the mid-to-late ‘90s.

“Fear of Missing Out.” Ever used to get jealous when hearing about awesome times coworkers had out the night before during water cooler breaks? Nowadays, with cell phones, it has

gotten so much worse and so much more instantaneous. 

Anytime someone is feeling angry at someone or something, they’re “salty.” More often than not it has something to do with jealousy. This just HAS to stem from the concept

of rubbing salt in a wound. 

When you’re “done,” you’re over it. You have wiped your hands clean of a person or a situation. Chances are, you are all talk and you are not actually done.

You are only getting started. 

No, this is not in reference to your future funeral. You’re dead when someone does something that you react so overwhelmingly positive to that you can no longer function. 

Usually in terms of a favored celebrity, to “slay” means to succeed completely at something. To do such a good job that you’ve killed the competition, your friends, fan, and

literally everyone. You’ve caused a metaphorical apocalypse. 

A pleasing theme. If you like the way a social media profile is arranged or how a room is set up, you are a fan of its “aesthetic.” 

This would be more complete as “ ‘Ship.” When people want two fictional characters to get together (/get it ON) they are “shipping” them. 

Just about the worst thing you can call a person without straight-up breaking out the C-word. It really explains itself. Someone so worthless that they could be thrown away.

Used in hushed tones, this describes something you don’t want others to know about or that you are being super subdued about. You’re keeping the statement on the down low.

This is as close to being a spy as you’ll get without going to Black Widow school.

When a person goes beyond the point of normal levels of anger, they’re being “savage.”

When you’re seeing someone and they stop texting back. They might as well have died because they’re dead to you at this point. (Not that you wouldn’t take them back

in a second, because they were So. Dreamy.)

You know your sh!t when it comes to all forms of social issues. Basically, you’re keeping up to date on what is horrifically wrong in the world. You're aware of

injustice. People who are “woke” are probably prepared for the apocalypse at any second. 

This one should be obvious. It’s a shortened version of “family.” But, it could refer to close friends. Okay, maybe not so obvious. 

This might just be the epitome of laziness. It means “very.” That’s it. A whopping one syllable shorter. 

Basically, this refers to bros being bros. Do you know what a bro is? It’s a guy who is probably in a fraternity who likes to drink. There’s usually some

weight lifting on his schedule. Get a bunch of them in a room together and it’s a bropocaoypse. 

A form of dismissal. If someone who annoys you or you really, truly do not care about is taking off, you can, “Bye Felicia!” them. They probably deserved it. 

The phrase

originated from the movie Friday, which was co-written by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh.

If someone manages to both pout and flatten their lips at the same time, in an effort to look good for a picture, they’re pulling a duck face. Don’t ever

let your child do this, it is going to embarrass them in 10 years, and you right now.  

Nerd has taken on a whole new meaning with this one, and it’s actually mostly positive. If you are a fan of something then you most likely fit into one

of these two categories. 

You’ve experienced this any time that you’ve asked a child to apologize to a sibling. The half-hearted apology is accompanied by an eye roll. This is the 2018 version of

that. 

Ever done a juice cleanse? Then you’ve experienced this one first-hand. Hungry + Angry. We’ve all been there, and a cheeseburger will fix everything. 

You’re naturally attractive, but that doesn’t mean people don’t notice that you rolled out of bed, did not put on makeup, and are wearing sweatpants with nacho cheese stains on

them. 

If you’re “dropping hundos” on things a lot, it means you need to reign in your budget. No one should be spending $100 all of the time. 

If you’ve seen a cat with text underneath it on the internet, it was either asking for a cheeseburger or noms. Nom is food. It can also be the act

of eating. 

“Not Safe For Work.” If you get a link with that warning attached, DO NOT OPEN IN FRONT OF MANAGER. There WILL be nekkidness. 

Pre + Regret. You already know you’re going to regret trying to vault that fire hydrant when you’re day drinking on a Tuesday. At least the alcohol means you’ll go

limp and won’t feel the impact. That’s how that works, right? 

Cheap-looking, of poor quality or ability. Apparently, it’s a very oddly-pronounced version of the hoity-toity word “wretched” that has taken on a meaning of its own. 

If your feelings were the ground, and that insult or news you just received was an earthquake, you would be “shook” right now. 

“What. The. F#CK.” Kids might say this in front of you, thinking they’re getting away with a swear. DISCIPLINE THEM. They probably did something else wrong too that you don’t

know about yet.  

Super duper awesome cool. If you do something and it’s well received, it is “fire.”

Every single snowflake is unique just like every human is unique. Of course this usage is 100% sarcastic so don’t take it as compliment. The speaker wants you to know

just how opposite-of-special you are. 

“Greatest Of All Time” Those shoes you just bought? GOAT. 

Absolutely, 100% too much. If you’re being “extra” you’re being an over-the-top drama queen and you need to calm the eff down. 

At one point, it referred to actual news sites that were created to look legitimate, but spouted fabricated news. Now, it just means you don’t agree with a point of

view. 

Yes, but better. Waaaaay more enthusiastic and supportive. 

If you hate something, it’s canceled. Unfortunately, saying it does not activate mind powers that will delete people from existence. Yet. 

You are SUPER DUPER over something when you are “done.”

“To Be Honest.” Letting the truth be spoken.
