It's hard to keep up with slang.
Those of us who are entering the workforce were teenagers back when "cool" was still pretty new. So every once in awhile, we hear a word like "stan," and we go, "heh?"
An unnamed sociology professor decided to start taking inventory on the new slang he was hearing:
Some highlights include: "periodt: see, 'facts'"
"Pull up/come through: an invitation"
"High Key: Very obvious"
"nunya: None of your [business]".
Of course everybody has their own opinions of which word/interpretation is the best:
The Generation Z lexicon is already far more diverse than the millennial lexicon.
Millennial slang includes "Netflix and Chill" and "sorry not sorry" and "extra."
Gen Z includes "yeet," "big mad," and "it really do be like that sometimes."
We millennials sound so old.
And since slang is a sociological study, it makes sense that this particular professor would keep this list.
We'd pay for a complete edition of the lexicon of Gen Z slang. Would you?
