This Professor's Alphabetized List Of Hip Slang Terms He's Learned From Students Is Just Hilariously Pure

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?
